While you have all been listening to Despacito on repeat this summer, I’ve been mixing it up with all these great remixes which are on iTunes & Spotify. Who knew Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee made SO many versions of the hit song.
1. The Original Version
This version is a bit faster than the Justin Bieber remix and does not include as much English.
2. Versión Pop
This version is definitely slower than the original and includes extra drum beats and guitar rhythms in the background to give it more of a pop beat.
3. Versión Sky/Urbana
The Sky/Urbana version has a Latin urban beat to it. It has a fun/dancey beat in the background. I can’t help but want to dance while listening to it.
4. Major Lazer & MOSKA Remix
This version has an extended lyrical beginning with more beats added in until Luis Fonsi starts singing the sped up lyrics. If you thought it was hard to sing along before, you have no idea how hard it is to keep up with this version. Then when right when he’s about to sing “Despacito” the beat drops and it turns into an EDM song.
5. Versión Salsa ft. Victor Manuelle
This sounds like Despacito with a traditional salsa soundtrack in the background. The salsa beat in the background definitely helps you keep the salsa rhythm while dancing along. Daddy Yankee’s rap towards the end of the song is replaced by Latin Grammy nominated Puerto Rican salsa singer Victor Manuelle.
