Photos by Alfredo Flores NBC 4 Washington's Around Town

Pitbull brought his mix of Miami bass, reggeaton, and crunk to the sold-out crowd at Ibiza nightclub in D.C. "Culo" was the track that received the biggest roar from the crowd, Pitbull proclaiming his love for the female posterior through song and gyrations.The overwhelming majority of Pitbull’s track record involves the booty, and various body parts of the fairer sex, but not that there’s anything wrong with that. During his concert, Pitbull revealed his latest project—the vibrant “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” his first with the Ultra dance music record label.Dance music is a natural progression for Pitbull. His dance-friendly grooves have been a staple in the Miami nightclub scenes for well over a decade (not many MC’s—English or Spanish-speaking, and he’s both, can claim that).Pitbull was friendly with the audience—hugging females, high-fiving fellas, and even helping himself to a giant swig from a bottle of Grey Goose from one of the guys in the V.I.P. section to the left of the stage. Pitbull, a.k.a. "Mr. 305," was in good spirits throughout. During the chorus of “Toma” had the crowd sing along to “Oye Loca! Ven pa’ca, come here.”
