Meet Octavio Cuadras, Creator of the Happy Corridos That Won Maluma Over


The Mexican musician talks about how the remix of “Bling Bling” with the Colombian superstar came about.

At the helm is Cuadras, 23, from Sinaloa, Mexico, who until recently had been experimenting with corridos bélicos without much success; he was just one more in the maelstrom of performers of the regional Mexican subgenre that shook the world last year. In an interview with Billboard Español, Octavio Cuadras tells how this series of fortunate events happened for his life and career.
