Title: Latin Contemporary Music
Post by: j.fco.morales on April 07, 2017, 03:25:45 AM
I think we will have a second latino boom sometime this year or next.
Reggaeton is taking over the sound of the productions.
Ricky Martin released his new single last year with Maluma -the biggest current latin singer- with lyrics in spanish.

The single from the next Fast & Furious movie is a reggaeton song and features Pitbull, J Balvin -one of the biggest reggaeton stars- and Camila Cabello.

Is such a hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWLr2va3hu0

There's a new english version available tomorrow.
The spanish version is waaaaaay better.

Well, I don't think of it as a boom, but more like a trend.

Most pop stars in Latin America are recording with Reggaeton artists.

Shakira recently worked with Maluma too (Chantaje) and then with the bachata artist Prince Royce (Deja Vu).
Also, Luis Fonsi's Despacito, with Daddy Yankee, is currently at No.44 in the Billboard Hot 100.

Despacito is a huge worldwide hit. 823 millions or Youtube plays.
J Balvin's Ginza has 685 millions... and counting.

I anticipate a second latin boom.

Latin artists dominate half of the most viewed songs on YouTube daily, with Luis Fonsi having the crown. I can't say the same with Spotify, but this isn't a trend to die anytime soon.
We shouldn't forget either Enrique iglesias and his third try of remaking bailando.

How nice - I used to love the first latin pop wave with Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony.

This new era is more urban - but it's great to have this influence back.

I think is because the audience is fully connected with the technology.
And they listen to music from Youtube.

People doesn't buy records or digital albums in Latin America.

Post by: nanofives on April 09, 2017, 07:50:09 PM
In Latin America Spotify it's not very popular yet, that's why you wouldn't see Drake on these charts but still charting number one. Despacito it's a deal breaker, with 16m views daily it only peaked 42 or 43, a sign of how Latin American people are taking all over YouTube.

I had Spanish in school but I don't get too many. But Justin's Spanish sounds authentic to me.

"Bendecido" is pretty good!

I like CNCO

"Reggaeton Lento (Bailemos) [Remix]" should be a worldwide hit.

"Hey DJ (Pop Version)" also has lots of potential.

Shakira will have a new album out soon. I think it's the perfect time for her.

Btw - I listened to Luis Fonsi long before his big breakthrough hit now. He had lots of beautiful songs.

I love that in Latin pop ballads the singer give really their all into the song. Without being ashamed of being over the top.

What do you think about this one?
It's my current favourite release of the week.
The chorus goes something like this: she's 22, but she looks older than me, though she didn't finished school but she graduated from my bed.

Second favourite of the week, features Nicky Jam and J Balvin:

PLUS! This girl is from my country. Looks a bit like Nicki Minaj, like a mixed race girl.
She's HOT AF and still unsigned, she got almost 90k views with NO PROMO.

Ya No Tiene Novio became a smash, it was released two weeks ago and has 75 million views. It was produced by Tainy.

Ozuna is one of the greatest new reggaeton stars. His new album is released today.
This one is produced by DVLP and features J Balvin and Natti Natasha.

And Joey Montana had a great success with Picky a couple years ago.
This one is produced by Mauricio Rengifo and Andres Torres, which are the hottest producers right now -along Tiny- in the latin market.

And Lele Pons' Celoso -released last week- has 36M views. Against Janet Jackson's new single also released last friday, which counts 21M.

Gloria Trevi was a big star in the 90s with rock infused songs and brilliant songwriting.
She was in jail but after she was released, took her music career again. She's 50 now.

Check the song. I love the lyrics.
The song was produced by J Balvin collaborator Jeon.

Jhay Cortez is a frequent J Balvin collaborator. He cowrote almost every song on Vibras.
He released a new song -probably from these sessions- featuring Zion & Lennox. Sounds a bit like No Es Justo.

He's also featured in the new single of a friend of mine, Xantos, produced by Tainy.

Maikel Delacalle is a spanish artist, he works closely with Alejandro Sky Ramirez, close J Balvin collaborator as well.
Those beats are great, not really feeling the lyrics or the melodies, but the tracks are some of the best tracks I've heard in a while.

This is such a smash, it goes something like this: every monday you're not with me, always the same, why you always disappear on sundays? and you never reply, you do it like a magician and you disappear, I'm not for your fairytales, I'm no sleeping beauty. The chorus: from monday to thursday, he left me but with no desire, but in the weeknd he calls me he calls me he calls me.

Clever lyrics in each verse.

Farina is one to look, as well. That one was released last year, produced by Tainy, main J Balvin collaborator.

Mau y Ricky are Ricardo Montaner's siblings: their brothers is the head of A&R at Universal Latin and released their new album this friday.
They co-wrote Sin Pijama by Becky G.

Full of reggaeton bops and guest features.
I love the Tainy produced tracks on the album: Mal Acompañados, Mi Mala, Ya No Tiene Novio and Desconocidos.

Sounds so good. I love this powerful chorus with lots of voices and amazing harmonies.

Sounds like a weaker version of Sofia, I think it's notorious the lack of RedOne

I've heard both's collaboration on lollapalooza Argentina back in March. Not my cup of tea but it was fun, specially since María Becerra was a surprise collaboration that day. They're nice artists

Written by Bizarrap, Keitlyn, Santiago Alvarado and Shakira
Produced by Bizarrap
I just couldn't help posting this to honor my country, even though it's not a good song I feel like this is a huge step for South American writers and producers.

Personally I think Bizarrap lacks personality, I just can't point anything between any of his songs, and Shakira's voice is processed to oblivion. Probably the lyrics are the strongest attribution to the massive success it's having worldwide.

The song generated quite a lot of backlash due to the usage of that sample.
Instagram comments on Kygo's post are all full of people complaining that this is stealing and that samples should stop and that we should encourage artists to be original.
I couldn't disagree more with all these statements.
