Luis Fonsi – Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee

Luis Fonsi teamed up with his fellow Puerto Rican Daddy Yankee when he recorded the song. He explained: “I played him the demo and told him where I wanted to go with the song and he jumped on it right away. He was involved in putting all the pieces together. His collaboration was crucial and it’s what made the song.”

The music video was directed by Carlos Perez. It was shot in December 2016 in La Perla neighborhood and the La Factoría bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The clip shows Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee performing while participating on different parties on the island and also features Miss Universe 2006 model Zuleyka Rivera. Fonsi explained to Billboard magazine:

“The video was filmed in Puerto Rico, where I’m from, and it celebrates our Latin culture and who we are; movement, dancing and rhythm are engraved in my bones. The genre I listen to the most is salsa, so people look at me and see this guy who’s done mostly romantic ballads, but there’s always been this other side. It captures the best of both worlds, and I think that’s helped the success of the song.”
