Decoding "Despacito"

Leila Cobo

A behind the scenes look at the music that is currently the soundtrack of the globe, reported on and written by Leila Cobo, Billboard's VP of Latin Music and the world's ultimate authority on popular Latin music.

Decoding "Despacito" tracks the stories behind the biggest Latin hits of the past fifty years. From the salsa born and bred in the streets of New York City, to Puerto Rican reggaetón and bilingual chart-toppers, this rich oral history is a veritable treasure trove of never-before heard anecdotes and insight from a who's who of Latin music artists, executives, observers, and players. Their stories, told in their own words, take you inside the hits, to the inner sanctum of the creative minds behind the tracks that have defined eras and become hallmarks of history.

Escrito por Leila Cobo, Vicepresidenta de Música Latina en Billboard y la mayor autoridad de la música latina, La fórmula “Despacito” es una mirada profunda al detrás de escenas de la música que hace bailar al mundo entero.

Seguramente conoces “Despacito”, la canción de Luis Fonsi y Daddy Yankee con un remix de Justin Bieber, que rápidamente se convirtió en la canción más escuchada del mundo y cuyo video fue el primero en conseguir 6 billones de vistas en YouTube. Sin duda bailaste a “I Like It”, el relanzamiento de un hit de boogaloo de los setentas en la voz de Cardi B, Balvin y Bad Bunny.
