A 20-year-old canary plays all radio stations and music platforms along with the production of Argentine Bizarrap and its summer song, which one month after its release continues to break records as one of the remaining themes in Spotify’s top ranking .
‘Quevedo: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52’, better known as ‘Quédate’, is a song composed by Gonzalo Julián Conde, music producer, composer and DJ better known as Bizarrap, of Argentine origin and performed by Spanish singer Pedro Luis Domínguez Quevedo, better known as Quevedo.
Quevedo’s success is considered unusual in many respects: he had no multinational media or albums and his repertoire had shrunk to 20 tracks, many of which were collaborations.
However, thanks to the dj and producer Bizarrap, who in a few years made himself known under a small label, thanks to his videos on the famous YouTube platform, where he invited great musicians of the urban genre (Nathy Peluso, Residente, Anuel AA, among others ) to be part of his compositions and to present them to the world.
In this way, Quevedo arrives at the Argentine studio on July 6 this year to be part of its 52nd edition, where with the help of the autotune and the sticky lyrics this song contains, it has experienced a huge growth in the number of copies and currently has 265,061,731 views on YouTube.
The canary breaks records
The artist Quevedo never tires of breaking records with his music. In July the musician made history with the Argentine DJ and producer Bizarrap: the collaboration between the two reached number 1 on Spotify in the world with a session called “BZRP Music Sessions Vol”. 52 ‘.
This fact makes Quevedo the first Spanish artist in history to reach number 1 on Spotify Global, the list of the most listened to songs in the world. But there’s more: his collaboration with Bizarrap, ‘BZRP Music Sessions Vol. 52’, better known as ‘Quédate’, has become the most listened to Spotify song in the world in a month, surpassing the style of famous artists such as Harry, Bad Rabbit or Rosalia.
A relationship of love and hate
Despite being one of the most listened to songs of the summer, in a conversation with Pablo Motos, Quevedo claims that he had listened to the song since March, four months before it came to light, and that he later sang it at each of his concerts for all of whom began to hate their own song. “In the end, you end up hating your theme, but you love it,” the artist said.

For this reason, Motos asks him if he has a love-hate relationship with the single, to which Quevedo replies yes.
However, the Canarian artist is fully aware of what he has given him and the boost he gives to his career.
The beginnings of reggaeton
A constant topic of discussion is that reggaeton is not for everyone; this genre creates a clash between the different generations who appreciate it (generally the millennial generation and Z) and those who classify it as something vulgar (baby boomers and generation X).
The beginnings of reggaeton were in Panama and the music gradually developed to become famous in Puerto Rico. Reggaeton begins as an adaptation of Jamaican reggae to the Spanish-speaking culture of Panama. The origins of the regué date back to the first registration of the Latin American regué in Panama in the 1970s.
According to experts, Jamaican reggae’s influence on Panamanian music has been very strong since the beginning of the 20th century, when workers of Jamaican descent were used to help build the Panama Canal.
The 1990s saw a boom in regué production in Panama, although it was Puerto Rico, thanks to the growing popularity of the Jamaican regué reaching its peak. In the 1990s, Puerto Ricans made their own riddim with strong hip-hop influences. These are believed to be the first true reggaeton songs and were originally called under, short for underground.
The impact of reggaeton on society
Reggaeton is a musical genre that has grown in our society covering a large amount of ground and in an accelerated way, mainly through the media.
This genre covers topics such as social criticism, love, and the hardships of life, although some songs also address explicit sexual content when it comes to topics like women or sex.
The criticisms of the musical genre arise for very obvious reasons. However, it is important to remember that reggaeton also uses its lyrics to fascinate young people and new generations by constructive scenarios.
Likewise, many artists use this genre to talk about the social condition in which some towns or cities find themselves and the problems that some countries face with regards to poverty and social injustice.
