NUEVAYoL

"NUEVAYoL" is a song by Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. Benito opens the album by paying homage to “Un Verano en Nueva York” by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and Andy Montañez, one of the hits of Puerto Rican salsa from the 70s, which managed to expand with hits to the United States and cities like New York. Inspired by this salsa, Bad Bunny surprisingly transforms it into a dembow, thus giving it a more urban touch and experimenting in one of the genres in which he has shown himself to feel most comfortable. Lyrically, he mixes Puerto Rican and Dominican references, a country to which he feels very close and which he admires culturally. The song was one of the last three that were revealed by Spotify in the campaign they carried out to give clues about the tracklist, in which for each song they gave coordinates that fans had to search for on Google Maps. The coordinates of “NEWYoL” were 40°42'48.4"N 73º57'32.03"W and pointed to Grand St, Brooklyn, New York.
