Caalaroga Shark Media Summer twenty seventeen. I'm Garrett Fisher, and

2
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.199
while America was grappling with political divisions and social media

3
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.199
was reshaping how we consume everything, the entire world found

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.039
common ground on dance floors thanks to a Puerto Rican

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.879
ballad turned Reggatin anthem that proved music really is a

6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:35.359
universal language. Despocito didn't just dominate that summer, it obliterated

7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.960
every streaming record in existence, spent sixteen weeks at number

8
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.520
one on the Billboard Hot one hundred, and single handedly

9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.200
brought Latin music into the global mainstream in ways that

10
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.159
seemed impossible just months before its release, coming in at

11
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.200
number thirteen on our countdown of the top twenty songs

12
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.240
of the summer, as voted by the staff of Calaroga

13
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.759
Shark Media. Luis Fonsi's Desposito featuring Daddy Yankee and It's

14
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.880
a Dial Form and later Justin Bieber in the Remix

15
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.799
That Conquered the World represents the moment when Latin music

16
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.319
fully arrived as a dominant force in global pop culture.

17
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.120
Before Luis Fonsi was breaking every streaming record on the planet,

18
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.879
he was already a major figure in Latin music, just

19
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.439
not necessarily on most Americans' radar. Born Luis Alfonso Rodriguez

20
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.319
Lopez Cepero in San Juan, Puerto Rico in nineteen seventy eight,

21
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.040
Fonsi had been releasing successful Spanish language albums since the

22
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.239
late nineteen nineties, earning Latin Grammy nominations and building a

23
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.280
devoted fan base throughout Latin America and among Latino communities

24
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.879
in the United States. But Desposito represented something different, a

25
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.640
perfect storm of talent, timing, and cultural shift that would

26
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.760
transform not just Fonsi's career, but the entire landscape of

27
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.400
popular music. The song began as a collaboration between Fonsei

28
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.120
and reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee, with production by Andres Torres

29
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:08.800
and Mauricio Renguifo. The original version, released in January twenty seventeen,

30
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.199
was already becoming a hit in Latin markets, but it

31
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.520
was the April twenty seventeen remix featuring Justin Bieber that

32
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.159
would turn it into a global phenomenon. Daddy Yankee born

33
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.120
Ramon Luis Ayala Rodriguez had been the undisputed king of

34
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.199
reggaton since the early two thousands, with hits like Gasolina,

35
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.039
introducing the Puerto Rican genre to international audiences. His presence

36
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.039
on Des Basito provided both credibility within the reggaeton community

37
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.199
and the rhythmic foundation that would make the song irresistible

38
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.159
to dancers worldwide. The addition of Justin Bieber to the

39
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.840
remix was a stroke of genius that nobody saw coming. Bieber,

40
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.639
who was in the midst of his own career renaissance

41
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.520
following his twenty fifteen album Purpose, heard the song at

42
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.919
a club in Colombia and fell in love with it

43
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.319
despite not speaking Spanish. His manager, Scooter Braun, facilitated the

44
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.120
collaboration and Bieber learned his Spanish vocals phonetically, bringing his

45
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.319
massive global fan base along for the ride. So what

46
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.599
made De Spasito the inescapable global phenomenon that defined Summer

47
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.800
twenty seventeen. Let's break it down. Musically, Despasito represents a

48
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.840
perfect fusion of reggaton's infectious rhythm with pop sensibilities that

49
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.319
made it accessible to listeners who might never have encountered

50
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.840
Latin urban music before. The track is built around a

51
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.479
hypnotic guitar loop sampled from Jamaica Farewell by Harry Belafonte,

52
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.919
creating an immediately recognizable melodic foundation that grounds the song

53
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.319
in Caribbean musical traditions while providing the perfect canvas for

54
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.879
reggaton's characteristic dembo rhythm. The production, handled by Andres Torres

55
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.680
and Mauricio Ranguifo, creates a sonic landscape that feels both

56
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:05.439
into and expansive. The verses feature relatively sparse arrangements that

57
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.599
allow the vocals to take center stage, while the chorus

58
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.879
explodes with layered percussion, horns and the kind of irresistible

59
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:17.079
groove that makes sitting still physically impossible. What makes the

60
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.839
production particularly effective is how it balances traditional reggaeton elements

61
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.680
with pop radio friendly touches. The dembo rhythm that defines

62
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.040
reggaeton is present throughout, but it softened and polished in

63
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.439
ways that made it palatable to mainstream pop audiences without

64
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.639
alienating the genre's core fan base. This careful balancing act

65
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.399
was crucial to the song's crossover success. The addition of

66
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.879
Bieber's vocals to the remix doesn't fundamentally alter the song's

67
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.959
musical DNA, but adds another melodic layer that enhanced its

68
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.560
global appeal. His voice provides a contrast to Fonse's warmer,

69
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.839
more traditionally Latin delivery, while maintaining the song's essential character

70
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.120
and flow. The struck Make Sure Of Desposito follows a

71
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.399
relatively straightforward verse chorus pattern, but with several elements that

72
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:11.240
enhance its addictive quality. The song opens with Fonsi's gentle

73
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.879
acoustic guitar and vocals, immediately establishing its romantic, sensual mood.

74
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.160
This intimate introduction quickly gives way to the full reggaeton

75
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.600
arrangement as Daddy Yankee enters with his unmistakable flow. The

76
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.959
verses alternate between Fonsei's more melodic crooning style and Daddy

77
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.680
Yankee's rapid fire reggaeton delivery, creating a dynamic conversation between

78
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.800
different vocal approaches and musical styles. This interplay keeps the

79
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.480
song engaging throughout its four minute runtime while showcasing both

80
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.839
artists distinctive strength. The chorus serves as the song's emotional

81
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.240
and melodic center, with Fonsi's delivery of the title phrase

82
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.839
Desposito becoming one of the most recognizable vocal hooks of

83
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.160
the decade. The word itself, meaning slowly in Spanish, becomes

84
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.920
both a literal instruction for the romantic encounter being described

85
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.800
and a broader invitation to savor the moment, the feeling,

86
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.600
the entire experience of the song. In the Bieber remix,

87
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.279
his English verses are strategically placed to provide moments of

88
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.199
linguistic accessibility for non Spanish speakers while maintaining the song's

89
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.319
essential Latin character. This integration was handled so smoothly that

90
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.800
the remix feels like a natural evolution rather than a

91
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:32.399
forced collaboration. The lyrics of Desposito showcase the art of

92
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.560
Latin romantic songwriting at its most seductive and poetic. The

93
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.480
song depicts a romantic encounter with vivid imagery and sensual

94
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.160
metaphors that celebrate physical attraction, while maintaining a level of

95
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:49.319
sophistication that elevates it beyond mere dance floor fodder. Phonsie's

96
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.360
verses paint detailed pictures of desire and seduction, using the

97
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.279
Spanish language's natural musicality and rhythm to create lyrics that

98
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.720
function almost as percussion, the way Spanish syllables flow over

99
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.399
Reggaton's syncopated rhythms creates a hypnotic effect that works even

100
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.279
for listeners who don't understand the language. The sound itself

101
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.079
conveys the meaning. Daddy Yankee's contributions at a more direct,

102
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.360
street level perspective while maintaining the song's romantic themes. His

103
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.839
verses bring the classic reggaton swagger while staying true to

104
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:27.000
the song's overall mood and concept. The interplay between Fonci's

105
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.879
romantic crooning and Daddy Yankee's more rhythmic delivery creates textural

106
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.879
variety that keeps the song engaging the recurring theme of

107
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.920
taking things Dispasito slowly works on multiple levels. It's both

108
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.360
a literal reference to the romantic scenario being described and

109
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.560
a broader metaphor for savoring life's pleasures, for not rushing

110
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.639
through experiences but allowing them to unfold naturally. This universal

111
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.560
message resonated with listeners across cultures, contributing to the song's

112
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:05.160
globally peel. What truly makes Despacito special is the chemistry

113
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.759
between all the artists involved. Fonsi's vocals combine technical skill

114
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:14.920
with emotional warmth, creating performances that feel both polished and authentic.

115
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.560
His delivery of the Spanish lyrics is effortless and natural,

116
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.439
making even non Spanish speakers want to sing along. Daddy

117
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.360
Yankee brings his decades of experience as Reggaton's premier artist,

118
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.039
providing rhythmic complexity and street credibility while never overwhelming the

119
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.639
song's melodic elements. His presence ensures that the track maintains

120
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:41.159
its connection to Reggaton's roots while reaching for pop crossover success.

121
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.600
In the remix, Bieber's contribution demonstrates his evolved artistry and

122
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.519
willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Despite learning his

123
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:55.639
Spanish lyrics phonetically, his delivery feels committed and authentic, showing

124
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.320
respect for the language and culture while bringing his own

125
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.759
melodic sensibilities to the col colaboration. The combination of these

126
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:07.879
three distinct vocal styles, Fonzie's romantic Latin pop, Daddy Yankees

127
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.080
classic Reggaeton flow, and Bieber's contemporary pop sensibilities creates a

128
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.080
multi layered vocal landscape that offers something for virtually every

129
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:32.000
type of listener. More in a Moment. Des Spasito was

130
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.879
released in its original form in January twenty seventeen and

131
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.320
began climbing Latin music charts immediately, but it was the

132
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.799
Bieber remix, released in April twenty seventeen, that turned the

133
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.759
song into a global phenomenon beyond anyone's wildest expectations. The

134
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.519
remix reached number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred

135
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.960
in May and stayed there for sixteen consecutive weeks, becoming

136
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.720
the longest running Spanish language number one hit in the charts.

137
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:05.159
Hit the song streaming numbers were equally unprecedented. It became

138
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.240
the first video to reach three billion views on YouTube,

139
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.360
eventually surpassing seven billion views and holding the record for

140
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.120
most viewed video on the platform for years. On Spotify,

141
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.080
it broke multiple records, becoming the most streamed song of

142
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.960
all time with over eleven billion plays. To fully appreciate

143
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.440
the cultural impact of Despachito, we need to examine the

144
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:32.720
landscape of summer twenty seventeen, a season marked by political tension,

145
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.559
cultural division, and the continued evolution of how we consume

146
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.600
media and entertainment. The summer movie season was dominated by

147
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.600
Wonder Woman, which became both a box office phenomenon and

148
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.519
a cultural moment, proving that female led superhero films could

149
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.879
achieve massive success. Other major releases included Spider Man, Homecoming, Dunkirk,

150
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.879
and The Fate of the Furious, reflecting Hollywood's continued reliance

151
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.240
on franchise entertainment. Musically, the charts featured a diverse array

152
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.879
of hits that reflected the fragmented nature of contemporary music consumption.

153
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.879
Ed Sheeran's Shape of You had dominated early twenty seventeen,

154
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.600
while artists like The Chainsmokers, Imagine Dragons, and DJ Khaled

155
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.960
were also achieving major success. The diversity of successful music

156
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.639
reflected both the democratizing effects of streaming and audience's appetite

157
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.759
for different sounds and styles. Technology was rapidly evolving in

158
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.480
ways that would transform music promotion and consumption. Instagram Stories

159
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.159
had launched the previous year and was becoming a major

160
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
platform for artists promotion. TikTok was still called musical dot

161
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.840
ly and was primarily popular with teenagers, years before it

162
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.559
would become the dominant force in music discovery. Streaming was

163
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.919
fully established as the primary way most people consume music,

164
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:00.000
with Spotify and Apple Music competing for dominance politically and social.

165
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.240
Twenty seventeen was a turbulent year in the United States

166
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.960
with the Trump presidency creating daily controversies and cultural divisions.

167
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:14.879
In this context, Despachito provided something rare, a genuinely unifying

168
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:20.360
cultural moment that transcended political and demographic boundaries. The song

169
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.919
became a celebration of Latin culture at a time when

170
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.559
Latino communities were facing increased political hostility, demonstrating the power

171
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.200
of music to create connection across cultural divides. For Latin music,

172
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:38.000
Despasito represented a watershed moment. While Latino artists had achieved

173
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.879
crossover success before, this was different a Spanish language song

174
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:48.840
achieving sustained mainstream dominance without requiring English translation or cultural assimilation.

175
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.600
The song opened doors for other Latin artists, contributing to

176
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.720
what would become known as the Latin music boom of

177
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.080
the late twenty and tens. For Fonsi himself, Despacchito so

178
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.399
transformed him from a successful Latin artist to a global

179
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:08.360
superstar virtually overnight. The song's success led to collaborations with

180
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.360
major international artists, sold out world tours, and recognition as

181
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.559
one of the key figures in Latin music's mainstream breakthrough.

182
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
Daddy Yankees' involvement further cemented his status as reggaeton's founding father,

183
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:25.879
while introducing his distinctive style to massive new audiences. For Bieber,

184
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.120
the collaboration demonstrated his artistic evolution and cultural awareness, showing

185
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.879
his willingness to embrace different musical traditions while expanding his

186
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:39.360
own creative horizons. The song's influence on the music industry

187
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.759
has been enormous and lasting. It accelerated the mainstream acceptance

188
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.440
of Latin music, paving the way for artists like Bad Bunny, Jay, Balvin,

189
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:52.200
and Rosalia to achieve global success without abandoning their cultural identities.

190
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.320
Record labels began investing more heavily in Latin artists, radio

191
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.960
programmers became more open to Spanish language music, and streaming

192
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.000
services developed better mechanisms for promoting non English content. Desposito

193
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:10.000
also demonstrated the power of strategic collaborations in the streaming era.

194
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.639
The addition of Bieber to the remix showed how featuring

195
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.000
established pop stars could amplify songs across different demographics and

196
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.480
geographic markets, creating a template that has been replicated countless

197
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.519
time since. More broadly, the song's success represented a shift

198
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.639
in how global culture flows, rather than requiring cultural products

199
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.440
to be adapted for American or European markets. Des Basito

200
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.840
proved that authentically Latin content could achieve worldwide success on

201
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:43.080
its own terms, suggesting new possibilities for cultural exchange in

202
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.720
an increasingly connected world. Looking back on Desposito today, it

203
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:53.120
remains a remarkable achievement in cross cultural collaboration and musical fusion.

204
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:57.320
The song's combination of traditional Latin rhythms with contemporary pop

205
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:01.480
sensibilities created something that felt both them filiar and fresh,

206
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:06.720
honoring reggaeton's roots while expanding its reach. What makes Desposito

207
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.720
the quintessential global summer anthem is its understanding that great

208
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:15.559
music transcends language barriers through rhythm, melody, and emotional authenticity.

209
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.399
While many listeners couldn't understand the Spanish lyrics, they could

210
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.000
feel the song's sensual energy, its celebration of life and attraction,

211
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.000
its invitation to move and dance and celebrate being alive.

212
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.559
The tracks enduring popularity demonstrates that audiences are hungry for

213
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.720
musical diversity and cultural exchange when it's presented authentically and accessibly.

214
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.519
Desposito didn't succeed by watering down its Latin identity. It

215
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:47.200
succeeded by confidently presenting that identity in its most appealing form.

216
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.120
So as we continue our countdown of the top twenty

217
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.159
songs of the summer at number thirteen, turn up de

218
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.480
Sposito and let its irresistible rhythm remind you of a

219
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.480
summer when the whole world learned to sing in Spanish,

220
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.159
when cultural barriers fell away on dance floors everywhere, and

221
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.200
when a song from Puerto Rico proved that great music

222
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:12.000
really is a universal language. Because Dispachito isn't just a song,

223
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.320
It's a cultural bridge, a celebration of Latin music's global appeal,

224
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:20.480
and a reminder that sometimes the most unexpected collaborations create

225
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.519
the most magical results. Six years later, it still has

226
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.279
the power to get any party started and any dance

227
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.840
floor moving, which is why it deserves its place in

228
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.440
our summer song's pantheon. This is Garrett Fischer for hit

229
