The Signature Edition of Brray’s new track “En Que Estas Tu” drops March 7th at 1pm PT only on Gala Music.
Newest from Brray
We are thrilled to announce that Puerto Rican featured artist Brray is dropping a new track on Gala Music! Brray is bringing his unique sound and infectious energy to the platform with the exclusive release of his new track, “En Que Estas Tu.”
Brray is the stage name for Bryan Garcia Quiñones, a rising star in the Puerto Rican Urbano Latino scene, is known for his dynamic blend of hip-hop, reggaeton, and trap, often infused with catchy Latin pop hooks. He’s quickly captured the attention of audiences worldwide with his signature flow and captivating lyrics.
Originally created in Panama in the late 1980s, the reggaeton genre grew in popularity throughout Latin nations. In the early 2000s, Puerto Rico was a springboard that catapulted reggaeton onto the global stage. Today this honest and captivating Latin music is sweeping the world with the emergence of new superstars, dedicated nightclubs and massive fanbases.
Puerto Rican Roots
Reggaeton’s significant impact on today’s music industry can’t be fully understood without acknowledging one of its most vibrant birthplaces: Puerto Rico. The island nation has served as a breeding ground for some of the genre’s most iconic figures, from Daddy Yankee and Wisin y Yandel to Bad Bunny and J Balvin.
Honest Songwriting
Reggaeton songwriters are not afraid to explore tough thematic elements in their music, such as life’s challenges, issues of sex and love, or even personal struggles like drug use. Perhaps this is why during such troubling times, reggaeton music has captured the hearts of young people all over the world.
Puerto Rican Reggaeton Stars
As the undisputed reggaeton headquarters in the 21st century, Puerto Rico has produced some of the genre’s most influential artists throughout the world, including:
Daddy Yankee
Bad Bunny
Wisin y Yandel
Ozuna
J Balvin
Rauw Alejandro
Anuel AA
Brray–Embracing Variety and Expanding Genres
While Brray’s music couldn’t possibly be described as strictly reggaeton, the Puerto Rico born genre has clearly inspired its creation. Brray is a skilled singer, rapper and songwriter who blends elements of several different music styles, including Hip Hop, Trap and Latin Pop.
Ultimately, Brray’s music is best described as Urbano Latino (Latin Urban), a term designed to encompass the fusion of these various Latin sounds.

En Que Estas Tu
“This latest track by Brray boasts a smooth melody and a chill vibe. He’s trying to get to know a lady who’s already attached. They’re having fun, on the same wavelength surrounded by beautiful people. He tells her how he likes to pass the time, he’s not trying to chase her or anything, but they’re both floating on the same cloud so…”

One of the most brilliant aspects of web3 is the end of unnecessary secrets. Through open source creations like GalaChain that use smart contracts and cryptographic data, everyone has the freedom to access the data they want.
In many ways, decentralized (distributed) systems are replacing the corporate idea of trust. From the trust that keeps you from questioning the energy usage required for your cloud-based storage, to the trust that your banks are actually holding the money held in your account–Real trust thrives in an environment where corporate trust is not needed. It’s easy to put your trust in transparent stored data when it’s presented in a way you can understand, so we no longer have to simply take the company’s word for it.
We love it when our community steps up to develop new ways to enrich the Gala ecosystem using the GalaChain SDK and open source blockchain data. This explorer is just another example of decentralization in action made possible by GalaChain.

When we had the opportunity to team up with poker video legends at PokerGO last summer for a web3 card game, we raised the bet with the first of many interactive and immersive casino game experiences within the Gala ecosystem.
Our partners at PokerGO gave early supporters six months of free access to PokerGO’s exclusive poker content, which included live events from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) that were not shown anywhere on television. Later on, when various final tournament events were shown in replay, our game was featured on the chair backs of some of the greatest players of our time, along with ads and mentions from the event announcers.
$GALA Sweepstakes
It was time for a new form of player empowerment that did not sacrifice the thrill of the game’s crucial betting components.
This is how our web3 econ and reward team came up with the concept of Weekly Sweepstakes. Players are rewarded with a number of no-purchase-necessary Weekly Sweepstakes entries corresponding to the amount of chips they won during each 24 hour period. You can get in on the Weekly Sweepstakes now, with the prize chances listed below. All you have to do is start playing for free!
After digesting tons of community feedback and deeply analyzing the player experience, PokerGO Play decided to move in a new direction.
First, we removed the daily chip reset that leveled the playing field every 24 hours. This update went live on February 8th as announced in this blog post. Instead of taking players’ hard-won chips, we started taking a house share from Sit-n-Go entries and a rake from every ‘cash” style game pot won. Now, players are free to strategize on a longer term, thinking past the 24-hour sprint and stacking as many chips as possible.
New Revolution Incoming
Before the end of Q1 2024, we’ll drop some big news about the future of PokerGO Play. This will include a mission and vision for the future of casual casino gaming with Gala, as well as a completely new model for ownership and rewards in PokerGO Play. A new Litepaper and a new token will soon be introduced, so get ready.
For now, this is what we’ll say:
You deserve rewards for playing, and that’s what we intend to deliver.
Ownership
There are several ways to own items in the PokerGO Play ecosystem, and more will show up throughout the rest of this year.
Avatar Frames
Now that we’ve removed the daily Chip reset, owners of Avatar Frames get a daily login bonus of chips straight to their account. That bonus is upgradeable as your Frame is upgraded, and it varies based on the rarity of your Frame.*
*Ancient Avatar Frames have the largest daily chip bonus and upgrade potential.
Avatar Frames are also GalaChain minted NFTs that owners are free to trade or sell p2p within the Gala ecosystem or even bridge to another blockchain.
Chips
Players can always stack up by buying chips directly from the Gala store, or within the app. While these chips were previously displayed as a pack of Chip Markers, now they’re simply rewarded to your chip balance automatically with your one-time purchase.
Play the Game
We can hardly wait to show you what PokerGO Play has in store for the coming months. For now, it’s time to get good, learn the rules and prep that poker face. You’re gonna need it, or the sharks will sense your excitement like blood in the water. 🃏
We’ll share some tips and tricks in upcoming blogs, as well as some general poker advice from some of our in-house experts. Time to hit the tables!
We’re making the empowerment of web3 simpler than ever before, but sometimes it’s best to break down the core concepts–This way we can help you really understand what this groundbreaking tech can do for you. The revolutionary ideas of Gala Film are going to reshape the future of the industry, breathing new life into cinema by making it more enjoyable and more rewarding.
The four core concepts below are the simplest way of expressing how we plan to change the world of entertainment with Gala Film. Check it out.
Delivering free, high-quality, and enjoyable content in the 21st century is a barrier to some services, but not Gala Film. Everyone will have the ability to enjoy exclusive Gala Film content for free.
Unlock
By giving you a chance to unlock more content, you can look deeper into your favorite stories. We love gamification, and GalaChain allows us to turn life into a playful adventure. Start opening mystery boxes and assembling the Shards you’ll find within to unlock Director Cuts and dive deeper into the stories you love.
What do we mean by looking deeper? Wouldn’t it be awesome to have an exclusive look into what made that villain so evil, or what happened to the ex after the breakup? Maybe you’re hungry for a segue into the next episode or upcoming sequel. Unlocking exclusive content empowers the viewer to take the best seat in the house, experiencing stories from a metaverse perspective. Only on Gala Film can exclusive content unlock more of the story.
Own
The primary way for Gala Film users to own items and generate rewards is through Moments, individual units of scenes extracted from a film or series. Each Moment rewards owners every time that film is watched, and Moments come in a variety of rarities. In the same way that shards combine to form Director Cuts, Moments combine to form Scenes.
A Scene is a completed collection of Moments, and when full Scenes are created your daily rewards will increase. More information about rewards can be found in the Litepaper linked above. Moments are purchased in Moment Packs through the Gala Film store, or found within Premium Mystery Boxes.
Host
Screen Nodes are the foundation of Gala Film and what makes us unique and innovative – hosting every film, episode, director cut, trailer & more. Anyone can purchase a license to operate a Screen Node. By running your licensed Screen Node, you can power the ecosystem and receive daily $FILM rewards for your contribution!
Something for Everyone
Everyone watches video content, and everyone loves getting more out of the content they enjoy most. Watch your favorite content for free, earn rewards for supporting the ecosystem, and unlock exclusive content that allows you to get deeper into the stories you love.
Web3 is changing everything, and not only for viewers, listeners and gamers. The Gala Film model will encourage film artists of all types to level up into the web3 world. Imagine professionals like cinematographers, directors, actors, costume designers, writers and more, all realizing the potential of web3 for their artistic careers.
By introducing regular users to Gala in this simple way, we can illustrate its benefit when it comes to things they’re already doing, like watching movies, listening to music and playing games. Once they understand its power, every user can decide to empower themselves through ownership and enhance their rewards whenever they are ready!
We’re about to open up the film industry on a web3 scale. Thanks for being part of the journey–Get ready to watch, unlock, own and host the best video content you’ve never seen before.
