Fher, the leader and vocalist of Maná, he is clear: he does not want to do reggaeton, even though it is the genre that dominates Latin music. The Mexican artist gave an interview in which he gave some strong statements about reggaetonand even mentioned to Bad Bunny to say that he will not collaborate with him.
The interview was with the Spanish newspaper The worldwhere he expressed: “It is unfortunate, yes, because reggaeton has invaded the Latin music stages”. Among the criticisms he made of this genre are the language he uses, the rhythms, the lack of creativity of his lyrics, which are often “violent and vulgar.”
“It’s about not having a little bit of time, dedication, ingenuity or creativity to do something better,” the vocalist stated about the lyrics of reggaeton.
“Most of their singers, not all, have little talent. Maybe I’m getting old”, he said during the conversation, in which he also said that he does not want to collaborate with Bad Bunny, one of the most popular artists in the world and who was recently named the King of Pop by Forbes magazine. Something that he has clearly said to his 16-year-old son Dalí, who has encouraged him on more than one occasion to give a more modern touch to his rhythms and draw on the rhythms of reggaeton.
“(Dalí) is telling me that I should play a little reggaeton to become internationally famous. I tell my son that I’m not going to do anything with Bad Bunny“commented the band’s leader, Fher Olvera, about the idea of joining the reggaeton singing trend.
But although the Mexican singer said that he is not going to get on the reggaeton train, He confessed that he admires Rosalía. “She does impressive things. She makes you crazy. We are going to try to incorporate some flamenco because we have a little indigenous blood, a little Aztec and a little Spanish,” he concluded.
