 Becky G ha lanzado el pasado viernes su tercer álbum de estudio, ESQUINAS , donde la cantante abraza, como nunca antes, sus raíces mexicanas.  Su título hace referencia a la mezcla de culturas que Becky G ha vivido desde niña y que se ha reflejado en su carrera musical: Desde sus inicios cantando y rapeando en inglés, su etapa más pop-chicle anglosajón con Shower y su incursión en el mercado latino y en el reggaeton desde 2017. De hecho, para cuando se publicó su primer disco, Mala Santa -un poco a destiempo, hemos de reconocer-, se había rumoreado que se lanzaría un disco en español y otro en inglés, como ahora pretende hacer Kali Uchis. Parece que esta dualidad siempre ha estado en Becky G , que ha lanzado canciones enteramente en inglés ( LBD , My Man ...), pero sin lograr el éxito de sus temas en español, resultando siempre en un regreso al reggaeton. Incluso, dentro de sus temas en español, su éxito comercial se ha restringido al reggaeton, dejando de lado otros temas donde B

 The 65th Grammy ceremony took place yesterday (Staples Center, L.A.). The Awards started been given before the 'big' ceremony, the one were the stars go, seat and perform and where the ' main' categories are given (The Big Four and the pop ones). This lead , as it happens every year in the Latin Grammys, to giving the awards while the celebrities are on their way to the Grammys or, like it has happened to Bebe Rexha, while they are arriving to the red carpet. In consequence,  most of the Grammys that Beyoncé took home yesterday were given in this other ceremony ( Best R&B Song for 'Cuff It', Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Plastic Off The Sofa' and Best Dance Recording for Break My Soul). Even  the singer posted a photo with the awards before the main ceremony had place. That's why they should unify most awards in one ceremony, at least, some of the genres categories (like EDM, hip-hop, rock, latin or country), because these genre

 In 2018, Grady Smith, released one of his most famous videos, 'This beat is killing country music'(Stop the snaps)' , in which he pointed out the excessive use of claps or snap tracks in country music. Often used in pop music (as it is shown in the video, for example, in Halsey's Without Me), the trend became a must in country pop and more in the boyfriend country subgenre, forgetting the use of country instruments for the confort and simplicity of the snap beat.  Two years later the beat keeps on pop music and on  mainstream country music, like in Gabby Barrett's I Hope . Its spread has been so huge that it is almost in every genre, in latin melodic pop too !  Latin music is crammed by reggaeton and latin trap, as I said in my last post, and there is so little space for latin melodic pop. Almost every artist that made melodic pop in the past had to adapt and make urban music (Luis Fonsi, Álex Ubago, Pedro Capó...) and the artists that remain making it use this bea

 2020 Latin Grammys' nominations have been announced today, just  hours ago. As Rolling Stone Magazine says,'J Balvin leads this year's nominations with 13, followed by Bad Bunny with nine nominations and Ozuna with eight;Anuel AA, Josh Gudwin and Collin Leonard each received seven nominations'. This proves reggaeton predominance , which separates from last year's controversy. A lot of Reggaeton artists (Daddy Yankee,Karol G , Maluma...) dennounced the lack of  reggaeton's protagonism , launching the hashtag #SinReggaetonNoHayLatinGrammys. (There are no Latin Grammys without Reggaeton) Let's start! -Record of the Year:     "China" — Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G Featuring Ozuna & J Balvin  "Cuando Estés Aquí" — Pablo Alborán  "Vete" — Bad Bunny "Solari Yacumenza" — Bajofondo Featuring Cuareim 1080  "Rojo" — J Balvin  "Tutu" — Camilo Featuring Pedro Capó "Lo Que En Ti Veo" — Kany Garc
