A union that seemed impossible ten years ago

Ten years ago, a collaboration between Katy Perry and Daddy Yankee might seem impossible. She was living her own pop dream to the rhythm of Teenage Dream; and he, making us dance the summer nights with What Happened Happened.

Now, pop and reggaeton go hand in hand (but ask Madonna and Maluma), and it is nothing strange to hear remixes of Latin and Anglo-Saxon artists. The best of both worlds united by music. And, for a while, there is no language barrier in the music industry and we can count by tens the bilingual singles that come out monthly.

In this way, Katy Perry has been the last Anglo-Saxon artist who has fallen before one of the songs of the moment: With Calma (not to be confused with Calma by Pedro Capó). The Californian joins Daddy Yankee and Snow for the Rémix version of the theme. And he even dares to sing a word in Spanish! In addition, he has made a reference to one of his most successful songs, California Girl: “I'll be your Calofornia Girl now. I got the poom-poom, bo ”

The theme has been launching with a fun Lyric Video where we see the edges in its emoji version. In less than a week, he has achieved more than 14 million views. Nothing bad!

Considering that the original theme was released in JANUARY and has 677 million views on YouTube, it is not surprising that Daddy Yankee wanted to release a new version to continue expanding his success. In fact, the song managed to be placed for six consecutive weeks as number 1 in the global YouTube Music video lists. But it is not the only list he headed. He also ranked first on Latin Airplay by Billboard. Come on, it has been a success.
