"Despacito", a Latin song full of sexual undertones has become viral soon after its release in January. The title expanded its audience in April, when Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber put his voice in a remix.
This remix is at the top of record sales in the United States for twelve weeks. "Despacito" - which means "slowly" in Spanish - is the first Spanish song to reach this rank since "Macarena" in 1996.
The reggaeton - which stemmed from the Jamaican dance hall and hip-hop - has historically allowed black Puerto Ricans to express themselves. The clip was shot in the popular neighborhood of La Perla, on the island of Puerto Rico, which has become a popular tourist destination thanks to the success of "Despacito".
