The album’s opening tune, “NUEVAYoL,” included a pattern of “Un Verano en Nueva York” (or “A Summer time in New York”) by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. It begins off closely in salsa earlier than integrating components of dembow and modern reggaeton, providing a glimpse into the brand new tracks’ genre-bending sound.
A private favourite, “LA MuDANZA” begins with a narration from Dangerous Bunny about his dad and mom. The lyrics element Dangerous Bunny’s triumphs as a musician, however finally, the power that he finds in his roots in “P f—ing R.” It feels like one large occasion and it appears like Dangerous Bunny is at his finest.
