Returning Artist Spotlight with KASBEEL
KASBEEL brings fiery Latin rap to Sound this week with ¿Qué Más? — her fourth release with us. The Colombian rapper is one of many rising Latin stars on Sound, alongside Heybela, Xcelencia, Losi and many more. Latin music continues to be the fastest growing sector of the music industry, with Spanish language making up almost a quarter of all listeners in the US this year, so we're proud to highlight the growing community on Sound. We spoke to Kasbeel about her latest track to find out more:
"This song speaks sarcastically about the demands that many men have to be with a woman. It is a topic that I dislike and I reflected it in this song. I created it a few months ago and shared with my community on social networks who really liked it and embraced it. The woman on the cover of this song is an activist, poet, actress, mother and teacher from the city of Buenaventura, who represents many black women of the Colombian Pacific called Tatiana Angulo. It's a good rap, enjoy it."
Check out “¿Qué Más?,” minting for the next month.
