Farruko makes his American television debut with “Pepas”

The multi-platinum Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Farruko made his debut last night on American late-night television performing his worldwide hit “Pepas” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Accompanied by two singers and a triumphant trumpeter against a colorful backdrop reflecting the song’s theme, Farruko enthusiastically performed his verses and cheered the audience during the song’s iconic chorus.

The performance highlights the latest milestone on the song’s journey to worldwide success. “PEPAS” has taken Farruko to # 1 on the Billboard charts “Hot Dance / Electronic Songs”, “Dance / Electronic Digital Song Sales”, “Dance / Electronic Streaming Songs” and “Latin Digital Song Sales”.

Last month, Farruko joined forces with DJ and international superstar David Guetta for the official remix of the worldwide hit.

“PEPAS” appears on LA 167, the new album by the winner of two Latin GRAMMY awards. Named after the main highway that runs through his hometown of Bayamón, PR, the project finds the reggaeton artist topping the global charts further defying industry standards, creating an eclectic environment fit for various subcultures and genres. . Intentionally created to honor the intersections of Bayamón’s culture and the legacy of his late grandfather, the album depicts a nostalgic, festive, vulnerable and proud Farruko. The expansive sound of the 25-track album incorporates nostalgic perreo rhythms, intertwines the “pilita” or EDM trends popularized in neighboring the Dominican Republic, and its traditional love for Jamaican reggae, all while remaining faithful. to his cruder influences such as his essence of trap, drill and reggaeton.

Characterized as a definitive artist of his generation of Latin musicians, Farruko illustrates with LA 167 his natural approach of both commercial styles and their roots. This November, he will begin his first tour of the United States, making stops in 15 cities. He recently made history by selling out the famous Coliseo de Puerto Rico during a 2-night presale for his upcoming homecoming shows from “LA 167 Tour.”
