It doesn't really stick to Spanish language for me. For me, personally as an Afro-Latina, I love to play a lot of Afrobeats, too. What are some other songs you've been in constant rotation all summer for you?īembona: Oof. Myles: You mentioned playing “Te Boté” all the time.
They're the ones that started Latin trap, and hip hop, and baile funk, and all of these things that were coming elsewhere, but now are taking another stage with other artists. They've been in the forefront of music for a long time. For me, when I think of summer, I think of El Alfa, I think of Dembow, the Dominican wave of artists that are coming out. That's my translation for the summer, I would love that as my positive vibes. “Te Boté” means "I threw you out" like "I get rid of you now", and I see it as a spiritual thing. Just because, for me, I see it more as not only to that ex-lover of yours, but also to bad vibes and the bad people in your life. Olivia: Yeah, we emailed about “Te Boté.”īembona: Yeah, I mean, I play that all the time. To sum it all up, for me, we did talk about “Te Boté” a little bit? (laughs) The influences living here as immigrants, or first-second generation, which is beautiful. I think now what's cool is that a lot of the younger generation in Latinx are not necessarily born elsewhere, they're born right here in America, tying the gap between generations. They called it the Latin wave: J.Lo, and Mark Anthony, and Enrique Iglesias, and all these people. And that's something that mainstream music world wants to profit on, so they see their chance and they're like Woo! We had that moment before in the early 2000s. Culture is going on in the Caribbean and taking it back to the beginning, Africa, everything is African rhythm at the end of the day. What are you seeing as the Latinx pop song of the summer?īembona: Wow, that's so difficult to say, just because we have so many genres, which is the most beautiful thing about being Latina in this Latinx mainstream scene, is that we do have- I mean, reggaeton and trap and hip hop are the ones that are really blowing up right now, and that all has to do with the underground, which I give all credit to for what the mainstream is right now. There's one for country, there's a pop one, there's a hip hop one. Turn on the music and turn up your heart rate.Olivia: So, we've spent this podcast talking about what the song of the summer is and how every genre has one. Others - a Ricky Martin deep cut, some Brazilian baile funk and even a K-pop track - might be new surprises for the casual listener. And certain songs, like Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” (Spotify’s most popular workout-related tune for four years in a row), Kanye West’s “Stronger” and Survivor’s perennial classic “Eye of the Tiger” remain favorites across the board. As Cook says, “every person’s different, and every person’s going to listen to different types of songs when they’re working out.” But certain things are nearly-universally appealing, like hip-hop jams. The end result: a list of 50 of the songs that are best used for motivating you while working out - whatever the activity, from running to weight-lifting to getting in your crunches. We sorted through hundreds of tunes to select the critical picks that help us get our hearts pumping at fitness classes or while working out solo. “Getting on a treadmill or a bike or going for a run is a very solo activity, so having an artist sing to you along the way can be reassuring,” Spotify’s trends experts Shanon Cook told TIME about the popularity of music in getting people going with their fitness routines.”Music can help you find your rhythm or help you set your pace.” From motivational lyrics to driving beats and tunes that bring back good memories, it’s no secret that music has power in helping you stay on track.
