The truth is that reggaeton hasn’t always had a significant presence in London. However, with the increasing Latin American population in the city—now one of its fastest-growing migrant communities the city’s musical landscape is evolving. You can see it with reggaeton artists consistently packing out the O2 arena several times a year, a clear sign of the widespread love for this Latin American rhythm that goes beyond language barriers, pulling people in to groove to its infectious beats with genuine passion.
The remarkable popularity of Bad Bunny, who has been named Spotify’s most streamed artist for three consecutive years, is undeniable. Chances are you’ve grooved to “Dákiti,” “Moscow Mule,” or “Tití Me Preguntó” at least once at a London nightclub. But reggaeton has more to offer music lovers beyond the club, and Candlelight is shining a new light on its vibrant allure with a string quartet performance of the Puertorrican artist’s biggest hits.
So, embrace the reggaeton vibes by familiarising yourself with this decade’s biggest artist, Bad Bunny. His music, enriched with Caribbean rhythms, serves as an anthem of self-confidence, love, and empowerment for many. In addition, he has noteworthy collaborations with industry giants like Rosalía, Cardi B, and Drake. But beyond his musical skills, Bad Bunny’s influence extends to breaking cultural barriers, making his work not just an auditory experience but a journey into diverse expressions of art and societal narratives. —Like, aren’t these enough reasons to love to him?
