Can Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro Help Put Salsa Back in the Spotlight?
Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro have salsa hits in their new albums. Will it help the genre?
In Debí, Bad Bunny also leaned heavily on live instruments, incorporating students who play salsa from Puerto Rico’s Escuela Libre de Música in some of the album’s most compelling trakcs. They include Mexican cumbia group Los Angeles Azules in tracks with Emilia and Nicky Nicole, and Prince Royce and María Becerra. More importantly, a new generation of salsa singers — which includes Luis Figueroa, Christian Alicea and Peter Nieto — are standing up for the genre, attempting to make a chart breakout with new fusions while staying true to the standards and spirit of the music.
