After the good single ‘a bullet’, which stood out for its melody and merger of Bachata and Favela Funk, and the previous one, the rhythmic and gross ‘Antilles’, Chanel launches a third single within his independent stage. At the same time, his hiter in ‘Clavaíto’, Abraham Mateo, goes to the beach.
‘Zakaza’ is a written theme for the 2025 pride occasion and makes you know in different ways. ‘Zakaza’ is a vagging issue that honors Ballroom culture, popularized through the Drag and its commercial expressions. As such, it does not need more than a base of House-Tecno designed by D3llano and the repetition of an onomatopoeia, “Zaka-Zakaza Rah Rah”, which mimics those expressed by the MCs in the Ballrooms to mark the movements of the dancers and increase the energy of the show; To evoke one of those competitions.
‘Zakaza’ is a respectful recreation of the Ballroom culture, although they know too much to improvisation composition and lyrics, which simply seem the rapid development of what supposedly a classic voging issue is. His grandiloquent spirit is funny (“We didn’t earn little ball / we like the Super Bowl”), not so much some forced rhymes (“Let me say my name / if I say Chanel you say Slay”), and the song seems more an insubstantial imitation than a hymn.

Abraham Mateo’s proposal – which has absolutely nothing to do with voguring – is summer and shirt. Interestingly, it is also based on a kind of onomatopoeia: ‘Bai-Lala’. The best thing is that it adapts the rhythms of the South African poppial – popularized by Tyla – to a letter in Spanish and fuses them vocally with its characteristic stopped away. Even more curious is that the last seconds of ‘Bai-Lala’ seem the beginning of ‘Antillas’. Or it will be the suggestion. Of course, ‘Zakaza’ and ‘Bai-Lala’ unites their intention to leave your compositional hooks well “nail” in the brain.
