Rauw Alejandro On How He and Romeo Santos Crafted Their No. 1 Hit ‘Khé?’

Rauw Alejandro Talks making No. 1 hit Khe with Romeo Santos

“I was preparing a song for Romeo and I went to the studio to work with [producer] Mr. Naisgai and [singer/songwriter] Elena Rosa, who wrote the chorus,” he said, during a break from rehearsals for his massive Cosa Nuestra arena tour, which kicks off April 5 in Seattle. Due to scheduling conflicts, they worked via Zoom, with Santos helping in the production –as he likes to do—and ended up incorporating an African kizomba beat into the song’s tropical and reggaetón fusion. The two finally did meet up, in New York City, to film the video, a nostalgia-infused black and white ode to old Broadway that features both artists dancing in the steps of an old cinema and in the subway.
