Fonsi Goes Grime (Sort Of) And Daddy Yankee Goes Old-School
On this week's playlist, Luis Fonsi takes a calypso excursion with Stefflon Don, Daddy Yankee gets the band back together in the name of reggaeton viejo and some newcomers fuse every genre in between.
Friends, a lot happened over the weekend. On Friday, Luis Fonsi proved once again that he can get millions of views with a well-drawled ayyyyy on any given beach in Puerto Rico; this time, he got an unexpected assist from U.K. grime star Stefflon Don. On Saturday, Daddy Yankee recruited the recently reunited old-school duo R.K.M. and Ken-Y for another go at it, now that reggaeton seems to (finally) be having its mainstream moment.
Also on this week's playlist: Puerto Rican synth-pop band Los Wálters, digital cumbia and Uruguayan rapper Santi Mostaffa make for a truly eclectic weekly mix that fuses pop, cumbia, rap and electronic rhythms.
