Koun Ejō

Koun Ejō (孤雲懐奘) (1198-1280) was the second patriarch of the Japanese Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism who lived during the Kamakura period. He was initially a disciple of the short-lived Darumashū sect of Japanese Zen founded by Nōnin, but later studied and received dharma transmission under the Sōtō schools founder Dōgen. Today Ejō is considered Dōgen's spiritual successor by all existing branches of the Sōtō school. He is remembered today primarily as the author of the Shōbōgenzō Zuimonki, a collection of informal talks by Dōgen which Ejō recorded throughout his discipleship. He is also featured prominently in the Denkōroku, the first major piece of scripture produced in the Sōtō school after Dōgen, with his transmission story serving as the final koan. After Dōgen's death, Ejō struggled to maintain leadership of the new Eihei-ji monastery, due in part to his lack of training in China that prevented him from completing the temple as a Chinese-style meditation hall, as well as unfamiliarity with Chinese-style monastic practices. He gave dharma transmission to Jakuen, Gikai, Gien and Giin, all of whom were originally students of Dōgen, but his failure to designate a clear heir himself led to a power struggle known as the sandai sōron that temporarily split the community.

    Ñejo & Dálmata, also known as Ñejo y Dálmata, are a reggaeton duo from Ponce, Puerto Rico. Ñejo was born June 20, 1975 & Dálmata was born February 29, 1980. They had worked together in collaborations with other reggaeton artists before they released their album Broke & Famous in 2007. Some of Ñejo's and some of Dálmata's songs reached the Billboard 200 in 2006 and 2007.

    Ñejo has been involved with reggaeton since the production of DJ Joe 5 was released. They started working as a duo on Fatal Fantasy 2.

    Ponce decided to independent artists and work on their own, that it was a bit obvious to hear the latest songs from the artists who did not mention Flow music. The Makinaria, Nelflow or Perreke, and that since their subjects were not produced by the DJ's of The Makinaria and that their productions were done by a DJ called DJ Elektrik. In March 2012 Ñejo & Dalmatian, which has long belonged to one of the largest companies around the urban genre "Flow Music" (company to which they belong J Alvarez and colleagues Lui-G 21 Plus) ceased to be part of that and now belong to EL Bunker Productions.
