— respectively, Colombia’s global ambassador of reggaeton and Puerto Rico’s leader of Latin trap — have remade the future of Caribbean culture and Spanish-language hip-hop in their image and, more importantly their heritage. If there is a revolution to be had in the new crossover market, these men have done so by sticking to their guns, and mining their countries’ sonic and social riches, not America’s, for gold.
But to have these two collaborate on a full eight-song album of their own is as crucial to the currency of world music, global pop and urbano as having Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande team up would be for American pop. Though Latin music’s history is rife with big-name collabs , nothing as such has occurred between two mod, NuLatin superstars until “Oasis.”
A clomping, mid-tempo “Yo Le Llego” finds each man giving thumbs up to their collective nations over a noir-ish score of Tom Waits-worthy guitars, rapid-fire handclaps and an all-around boogaloo groove. The halting, highlife “Mojaita” finds Balvin and Bunny welcoming the larger world into their new, private clubhouse with each vocalist teasing the other with gentle braggadocio as their guide.
