gagzus 20,719 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 29 minutes ago, PartySick said: It wouldn't have, actually. For a few reasons. First, the show was mainly centralized around Puerto Rican culture, Americano was written about unfair immigration laws towards Mexican immigrants and takes notes from mariachi music. That's honestly a bit tone deaf imo. Second, Americano is combative while the show was celebratory. The tones conflict too harshly. Third, she came in on a wedding scene which...I mean, I hate how corny DWAS is but it's the perfect cheesy wedding love song Fourth, DWAS is a hit that was easily translated into a salsa rhythm and slotted into the show to give Benito a second to breathe It was honestly perfect. And that's coming from someone who absolutely detests DWAS To add, I read online the people at the wedding were actual fans who invited him to their wedding and DWAS was their wedding song when they original got married. Also people would 100% be saying she made it about herself if she came in doing Americano as well. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley 10,163 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It was beautiful as is, especially after learning the couple was actually getting married. DWAS has become a classic wedding song. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacs vs looser 5,087 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I agree with the sentiment that it would've been a more powerful message, but it only would've worked if Bad Bunny's Show was about revolution and fighting the system, but instead, it was about unity and love so it wouldn't have made sense. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taumaturg0 1,269 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) We've already had this discussion, so I'll just repeat myself: - Mariachi is a Mexican genre of music that, while widespread throughout LATAM and the US, is still heavily related to Mexican culture. Salsa, on the other hand, is a genre born form the fusion of Cuban music and jazz, making it more fitting to the theme of Latinxs in the US, since it's a sincretic genre from it's inception. - Americano cannot be that easily reworked into salsa while DWS could, not because of time signature but because of the structure and vocal style. And yes, that's important since all the genres featured in the show are derived from afrolatin music, while mariachi is more Spanish influenced. - Also DWS is just the bigger song. - Being the guest I'd think she'd let the Latino main performer make the main political statement, out of not taking the spotlight away from the issue and not "making it about herself", we know she wouldn't intentionally do it, but that would be the result. Thanks fro coming to my ted talk, let's move on Edited February 10 by Taumaturg0 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojo 19,823 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Agree or maybe a cover of an iconic and timeless latin song, dwas was totally out of place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,264 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I thought the same at first, but it fit into the storyline of the performance, so was perfect. The only flaw is that she had trouble finding the melody with this new arrangement, and so it felt like a mashup that someone made, when completely rearranging some of the vocals to fit into this new salsa arrangment would have been more fitting, but maybe there just wasn't time with her touring, the holidays, and just being in a different timeline in Japan for the past few weeks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
