While maintaining two singles within the Top 30 of Singles of Spain, ‘da Me’ (11) and ‘Eat’ with Omar Courtz (22), Bad Gyal spears New Single, ‘Last night’, his second collaboration with Ozuna. ‘Guay’, the first one, launched last year.
‘Last night’, Bad Gyal Single of 2025 and the sixth of Ozuna, is a soft fusion of pop and Caribbean rhythms that refers to the Antillan Zouk or, above all, to the Haitian kompa, as several Internet users rightly point to YouTube comments. As Haiti Wonderland explains, Kompa music “is a dance music style characterized by dynamic rhythms, electric guitars, metal instruments and, often, poetic lyrics” that “is played at parties, celebrations and festivals.” The modern kompa has its roots in the classic Haitian meringue, but incorporates influences from other Caribbean rhythms.
Alba Farelo can be the first Spanish artist to add influences from the Haitian kompa in his music. The combination of guitar and keyboard melodies in the instrumental base of ‘Last night’ is similar to that of the Kompa ‘Douce Tankou Sirop’ of Massive3, of 2016. The vocal melody, to that of ‘Angela’ by Bryans, of 2020.
Ozuna is Bad Gyal’s musical couple in this romantic duet that does not deepen so much in Haitian musical roots, as transferred to a popular pop form for playlists and current lists. Bad Gyal and Ozuna are distributed verses, but they also harmonize, in ‘Last night’, telling a night of furtive love, “on the low”, which ends too fast.
Currently positioned in the 59th position of the most reproduced songs in Spotify Spain, ‘Last night’ can become the “Grower” of summer.
