With summer and popular festivals in full swing, it’s time to take stock of which is the song of the summer. If last year the podium was fought over by ‘Baby Hello’, by Rauw Alejandro and Bizarrap, and ‘Columbia’, by Quevedo, this year the shortlist is between the remix of ‘Potra Salvaje’, by Isabel Aaiún and Fernando Moreno, and ‘Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido’, by “La bichota” Karol G.

The remix of ‘Potra salvaje’ stands out

Although Isabel Aaiún published the song in 2021, the remix produced by Fernando Moreno has been a hit on dance floors and street parties in the first half of summer. Its success has been such that it became the official anthem of the Spanish national football team that won the European Championship. In fact, both composers were present at the title celebration in the Plaza de Cibeles.

Karol G, undisputed winner

A classic summer phenomenon is summer love, short but intense, which usually leaves a great memory. That’s why Karol G reminds us of the eternal question: ‘If I had met you before’. The Colombian artist, who recently toured our country, is the great competitor of ‘Potra salvaje’ with this sweet and carefree song that transmits peace with melodic rhythms.

Omar Montes, Lola Indigo and Las Chuches bring the party to life with ‘El Pantalón’

If there is one musical genre that defines Spain, it is flamenco, and within it, rumba is one of its most recognizable forms. That is why Omar Montes, Lola Índigo and Las Chuches released ‘El Pantalón’ at the beginning of the summer, a relaxed song recorded at a street market that brings back the essence of the Spanish summer.

Lola Indigo repeats with ‘The Queen’

Lola Índigo has emerged in recent years as the undisputed queen of Spanish pop, combining lyrics with catchy rhythms and impossible dances that flood social networks like TikTok. ‘La Reina’ mixes the Latin genre with certain pop airs and, at times, a curious nod to one of the star dances of the summer, the lambada.

Saiko, JC Reyes and Dei V bring the reggaeton to ‘Badgyal’

Summer is marked by holidays, when nightlife takes up a large part of our time. And in a country where the star genre of the night is reggaeton, Saiko, JC Reyes and Dei V have released the hit ‘Badgyal’, which clearly alludes to the Catalan singer.

Bonus track: ‘Hay Lupita’ by Lomiel

It is probably the song that best preserves the essence of the so-called ‘song of the summer’. A catchy rhythm with lyrics that are easy to remember. That is why, to close the compilation of summer songs, Lomiel could not be missing with his ‘Hay Lupita’.
