Peso Pluma undeniably stands as one of the artists who have made an indelible mark in the year 2023. Emilio Hassan, his real name, has not only captured the hearts of Mexican audiences with his music but has also struck a chord with listeners worldwide. It’s important to note that not everyone in Mexico leans toward Mexican music as their preferred genre, given the vast diversity of musical styles available.
So, Pluma has achieved the remarkable feat of drawing even more people into this genre, instilling a profound sense of pride in Mexico and beyond borders to the broader Latino community, who equally share in the pride of their compatriot’s huge success. For this reason, we present 5 iconic moments in his musical career up to this point.
1. His Presentation at the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 28th
Peso Pluma’s performance on the show not only signified a personal triumph but also catapulted «Ella Baila Sola» to international success. This monumental achievement underscores the universal appeal of Mexican music and solidified Peso Pluma as one of the genre’s brightest stars.
2. La ‘Double P’ at Coachella
While perhaps not as iconic as his performance on The Tonight Show, equally significant and memorable was his participation in one of the world’s most prestigious festivals: Coachella. In the 2023 edition, Mexican-rooted singer Becky G had Peso Pluma as a special guest. Together, they performed their successful collaboration titled «CHANEL,» sparking a wave of positive reactions and enthusiasm among the attending audience.
Bizarrap and La Double P stand as two Latin artists who consistently dominate the charts with each new release. The Argentine producer has already left his mark by collaborating with some of the music industry’s biggest names, including Shakira, Residente, and Nicky Jam.
The internet erupted with excitement when Bizarrap unveiled his long-awaited new session, featuring the corridos tumbados icon. Together, they ignited a musical explosion, seamlessly blending the distinctive rhythms of Regional Mexican music with urban influences and clever lyrics. In the midst of this creative fusion, Doble P passionately declares, ‘¡Que vivan los corridos!’ As today, their session has an impressive 211 million views on YouTube.
4. Bad Bunny Declares Himself as a Peso Pluma Fan
Not only has La Double P captivated millions of fans worldwide, but he has also garnered admiration from major music stars like Bad Bunny. The «Me Porto Bonito» singer has openly praised Peso Pluma for his authenticity, from the conceptual depth of his music to the sincerity in his voice, and the sheer passion he injects into his songs.
Bad Bunny expressed his happiness for Peso Pluma’s growing career, emphasizing that he always resonates with artists who emerge from obscurity and rise to stardom, just like he did.
It was like I was the same, I was a little boy who came from nowhere and then I was fulfilling a dream. So, it kind of makes me happy, like that time I was happy, that joy brings me joy” –he recalled.
5. Peso Pluma Makes History at 2023 VMAs
Pluma made another historic presentation at the awards ceremony, as he became the first artist to perform Mexican music, specifically corridos tumbados, on the VMAs stage with his song «Lady Gaga.» He even got Taylor Swift dancing.
