Rauw shared four additional advance tracks from ‘ Capítulo 0.’ Most recently, he released the genre-bending new single “GuabanSexxx,” which was inspired by the Taíno goddess of storms and chaos, Guabancex, and fuses House, Bomba, and Plena for a perfect mix of the sensual and the ancestral. Prior, he released the ‘ toxic’ “Buenos Términos” in which he sings of a sultry, stormy and
impossible-to-quit relationship who fight until they reach “ good terms.” Rauw first began to usher in ‘ Capítulo 0’ with the neo-bomba smash “Carita Linda” that pays homage to his Puerto Rican heritage and ancestors and earned him his 12th No. 1 as it topped both the Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts. Also featured on the album is “Santa” feat. Rvssian and Ayra Starr which was released last year to fan delight.
