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.
Peso Pluma became the first artist to perform the corrido tumbado hit, «Ella Baila Sola,» on the renowned television program, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. This groundbreaking moment marked a significant milestone in the career of the artist, establishing him as the trailblazer of regional Mexican music on one of the world’s most-watched programs.
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.
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.
