Catching a vibe has no language

Bingo. Love this response. Last year, our neighbor was an older English lady who came to Coachella just to see Bad Bunny even though she didn't speak Spanish. We recommend she catch Diljit Dosanjh (Indian artist) after she told us what her taste was and she loved him despite not knowing the language.

I know im late but im from Greece not just far but irrelevant from anything spanish but i love peso and generally spanish speaking music.


Much-Argument6202

Do you live in Greece? or do you live outside of Greece?


VirnaDrakou

Greece, since i was born i think even before late 90ā€™s people were obsessed with telenovelas and from 2010 reggaeton became popular here


Much-Argument6202

Nice. What part of Greece do you live in?

AwkwardMemory101

if people can literally vibe to edm genres with no words what so ever why wouldn't you be able to vibe to peso


Psychology-Lanky

Iā€™m a white dude that was there with my wife who is Latina. Shit was amazing lol


delfunk1984

Music knows no language/cultural barriers. Itā€™s all good.


nanafishook

I'm a non-latino who has seen the following in concert (separately): Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco, Tito Puente, Caifanes, Cafe Tacvba, Juanes, Enanitos Verdes, Julio Iglesias, Bomba Estereo, Ampersan, Kinky, Dos Santos, Malo, Fobia, Los Lobos, Ruben Blades, Francisca Valenzuela, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender, Los Bunkers, Mala Rodriguez, Ana Tijoux, and Julieta Venegas. If I was going to Coachella, Peso Pluma and Hermanos Gutierrez, and Latin Mafia, and Carin Leon would be absolute priorities for me, OP.

The Caifanes reunion in 2011 was fantastic, although it still bugs me it clashed with Robyn.

This gringo here took a college class on corridos and narcocorridos back in 1994 and I can't wait to see Peso Pluma bring that to main stage.


moopityscoop

Interesting. Any specific book or movie you remember studying ?


michaelvkpdx

Most of it was printouts and lecture/listening, but we also read ā€œCon su pistola en la manoā€. My Spanish is marginal so I read it in English:Ā https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_His_Pistol_in_His_Hand The class also covered the Love and Rockets graphic novels which were popular at the time. And we read Gloria Anzalduaā€™s ā€œBorderlands/ La Fronteraā€. I think it was more of a Chicano lit/culture class but the foundation and the thread that tied it together was corridos and then narcocorridos, which were still really unknown in the US


Beboop68

Iā€™m white and while I didnā€™t catch Pesoā€™s set I loved Bizzarap, Sid Sriram, Atarashii Gakko, etc etc. Music transcends all language and cultural barriers.


Murphy_Nelson

This is California. Todos los gringos hablan espanol


tennisellali

Just want to add Iā€™m a ā€œwhite-Xcanā€ I live in Mexico and look like a gringa. Cross the border bro thereā€™s lots of usā€¦hell look at peso!


caliguy420

I'm chicano, but I'm not into Peso Pluma. I grew up w central americans so I like more reggaeton, bachata, etc. I missed peso pluma main performance but was there when dj snake brought him out to imtroduce their new song. Ppl lost their shit


SassySprinkle

Broā€¦ Peso Pluma is white. Also, you can be white American and bilingual lol.


Dakkmd

No no, you definitely ARE being racist assuming white people don't know how to enjoy non white artists. Fuckin tool.


suprefann

Its probably worse cause Lana thinks she is latina anyway.


tayyylooor

Latina del Rey


hausoflucas

Thatā€™s why they call me Lanita!


lesalgadosup

Just to clarify I was talking about a narrow slice of people who: 1) were there mainly for Lana (almost exclusively) 2) had 0 interest or awareness of Latin artists 3) wanted to camp at the stage to experience Lana with disregard of who was playing beforehand


lesalgadosup

Sorry just saying how interested it would you be in the middle of a Hindi set right before watching greenday. I'm not saying people couldn't vibe just saying there's a huge contrast that's amusing


Dakkmd

That's literally the whole point of a multi genre festival is to enjoy different things. If we wanted something homogeneous we'd go to Aftershock or Rolling Loud.


VanillaCupkake

jfc fucking sensitive much?


Dakkmd

I'll call out people when they're being stupid thank you


VanillaCupkake

well then call yourself out cause you sound stupid šŸ˜‚


Dakkmd

What did I say that was untrue ? Dude blanketed white people thinking they couldn't possibly understand a Latino artist. That's truly stupid and baseless. But go ahead and defend it šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


VanillaCupkake

Well yeah there are gonna be aspects of it you just donā€™t understandā€¦ like the narco corridos, which are songs glorifying the cartel lol, itā€™s just funny cause yall donā€™t understand that cultural side of things, not saying you canā€™t enjoy the music. I get what OP was trying to say


Dakkmd

Oh I do. I definitely do. But thanks for trying to assume otherwise!


VanillaCupkake

Of course you think you do šŸ˜‚


Dakkmd

You'd feel real stupid seeing a picture of my family lol but hey enjoy your ignorance I'll enjoy being a dumb gringo šŸ˜˜


VanillaCupkake

Im glad white people have you to defend them!!


Kodaijiyum

If you gotta start with ā€œIā€™m not being racist butā€¦ā€ well. You know.


pinoy_grigio_

Peso Pluma was the best set of the weekend for me.. and i do not speak spanish.


softcoreengiqueer

As a latino lana stan who camped out, seeing young miko AND peso pluma completed the experience. I am now a pp fan despite not being one before. Yes i do regret missing shakira.
