Jorge Drexler flirts with the urban and the sexy in Touch you
Certainly one of the surprises of the Latin Grammy were the prizes for Touch youWhat record and song of the yearabove the favorites of the ceremony, which took place in mid-November, such as Bad Bunny, Karol G or Sebastián Yatra.
The theme is overloaded with subtle sexual references, in contrast to its opponents.

“It is not easy to relate sex without falling on land where you do not want to enter or in the banality; that’s why it’s important share authorshipbecause it allows you blame someone else and go to new territories”, reflects the artist between laughs in an interview with EFE and then genuinely celebrates how this topic is treated “beautifully in urban music, very frontally”.
Although he does consider that not everyone approves of this approach because it is associated with “machismo, gender discrimination or rudeness”: “But many of the criticisms that are made of reggaeton and urban music are more due to sexualization that because the same parameters with which it originated in the 90s continue to exist. It has evolved a lot since the first reggaetons of ‘dembow’, which were relatively homophobic, to the I dog alone from Bad Bunny”, he argues.

Against musical discrimination
For this reason, the Uruguayan wants to take care that his triumph is compared to them as that of “serious music” before the rhythms of the new generations. “When they say that ‘music today is shit’ it is discrimination based on age and it is not new. There is no one who has affirmed this to whom they have not said the same thing 30 years before”, he argues before inviting them to explore the Jamaican origins of reggaeton and “that incredible 3-3-2 rhythm that the milonga also has”.
But certainly his victory on November 17 represents quite a journey for a composer who sold 33 copies of his first album 30 years ago and who is recognized as an example at some stage of his life of “industrial failure” (“That not the musical ”, he specifies), although he flatly rejects the idea of now going through a stage of vindication.

You sing what you want, says Jorge Drexler
“There is nothing worse than wanting to be vindicated. Those processes to begin with come from feeling inferior in conditions or on a plane of superiority and I have never felt like that. I have never complained about anything and I have been happy with what has happened to me in life, God save me from feeling like a winner ”, he assures (E).
