11 Latin Urban Stars Who’ve Experimented With Salsa: Myke Towers, Karol G & More


From Bad Bunny to Myke Towers to Karol G, and beyond, check out some of the Latin urban stars who have experimented with salsa music.

Notably, Rauw Alejandro first surprised fans when he co-headlined the Global Citizen Festival in New York City last September with a cover of the timeless tune “Tú Con Él” by Frankie Ruiz. Produced by Andy Clay, the Puerto Rican artist paid tribute to four salsa classics: Lalo Rodriguez’s “Ven Devórame Otra Vez”; Tommy Olivencia’s “Lobo Domesticado”; and Paquito Gomez’s “Cinco Noches,” and “La Esencia del Guagancó” by Johnny Pacheco and Pedro Juan Rodríguez Ferrer.
