Cardi B and Rosalía a new remix that dropped recently of her mambo banger “Despechá,” from her Latin Grammy-winning album “Motomami.”
With the song “Despechá” having influences of merengue music, it made sense to feature Cardi B, who is of Dominican descent. “I always wanted to work with her. I wanted to make music with her.
And she knows I love her music, and she always supports me, so I was like, “This song is inspired in Mambo. It’s inspired in musica Dominicana.” And she’s Dominican, so who else is going to understand this better than her,” –said Rosalia.
Last month, Rosalía performed the song along with various hits from “Motomami” like the sex-positive “Hentai” and the Weeknd-featuring “La Fama” at the 2022 Latin Grammys and the audience loved it!
“Despechá” was produced by Chris Jedi and Gaby Music and first made its rounds on social media when the Spanish pop star teased the track at the start of her Motomami World Tour earlier this summer.
Rosalía teased the song on TikTok by posting videos of her singing and dancing to the electro-merengue beats with her backup dancers, which ultimately propelled “Despechá” to become a huge hit. Her TikTok performance of “Motomami” in its entirety has been nominated for a 2023 Grammy in the best music film category.
“There are many ways to be ‘Despechá,’” Rosalía previously said in a statement of the track. “In this theme it is from the freeness or the craziness, moving without reservations or regrets.”
