Voltio is the second studio album by Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Voltio, released on December 27, 2005, by Sony BMG and White Lion.

Release and success

Released roughly a year after his debut solo album Voltage AC, Voltio charted and sold well, partly due to the success of the single "Chulin Culin Chunfly", a collaboration with reggaeton performer Residente of Calle 13. It sold 4,020 copies in its first week, debuting at number twenty on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.[1]
