DJ Black

Ricardo Alexander O’Neil Weeks (born 2 July 1972),^[1] better known by his stage name DJ Black or DJ Negro, is a Panamanian recording artist, songwriter, producer and music executive. In 2008 DJ Black wrote the smash hit "Chucha Su Madre" which was the number one record in Panama for several months. Since 2008, DJ Black's song "Chucha Su Madre" has been the subject of both controversy and praise. It went straight to number 1 in the Panama radio and video charts and was featured in Carnival 2008. Due to its use of the words "Chucha Su Madre"(which in English translation means "Mother Fucker") the government of Panama censored the song.^[2] This action meant that DJ Black was unable to claim the official "El Rey De Carnival" crown. Despite this fact, DJ Black performed the song for millions; and the single itself continues to set records for most often played track on Panamanian radio.^[3] Due to his rising popularity among the country's common communities, DJ Black has recently been appointed by President Ricardo Martinelli to be the Director/Minister of Culture^[4]
