Bad Bunny & Sech, "Ignorantes" [Photo Credit: Rimas Entertaiment]Puerto Rican standout Bad Bunny and Panamanian singer Sech deliver a certified Urbano Latino bop with single, “Ignorantes.”

Bad Bunny proved that he was a star on his Grammy-nominated debut album, X 100PRE (it won at the Latin Grammys, FYI)  Even if Latin music isn’t your first preference stylistically, the Puerto Rican singer makes it quite compelling.  On the standout single “Ignorantes,” Bunny pairs with Panamanian singer Sech.  Worth noting, before even analyzing the song itself, Rolling Stone makes note of the LGBTQ inclusive video for “Ignorantes”.

“Ignorantes” has ample pros making it an urban Latin (urbano latino) bop.  First, the production is quite impressive.  Dimelo Flow and Soltedo Beats do a magnificent job of giving Bad Bunny and Sech a great backdrop to ‘do work’ with.  The beat packs a fair amount of punch, while the keyboards and synths are kinder and gentler in sound. Ultimately, the sound complements the performing artists.  Part of the reason why the sound of the production is so effective is because “Ignorantes” encompasses matters of the heart, specifically heartbreak and a failed relationship. Beyond that, well, Dimelo Flow and Soltedo Beats simply give the listeners some truly beautiful, impressive ear candy.  The music sounds as if they never even had to break a sweat creating it.

As for Bad Bunny and Sech, well, they capture their feelings regarding the ended relationship well.  Naturally, as they reminisce, matters of the bedroom come into play, evidenced on the chorus performed by Bad Bunny.  Translated into English, a portion of the chorus reads as follows, “Normal, I know that sometimes peleamo [we fight] / But how delicious when chingamo [fucking] / And I don’t know why we left / If you love me and I love you.”  Sech also recollects intimacy on the first verse, while on the bridge to the chorus, regrets sleeping with her, but knows it was, well, muy bueno.


Final Thoughts

Are Bad Bunny and Sech a musical match made in heaven? You bet! Just to reiterate, “Ignorantes” is an urban Latin bop.  It features superb production by Dimelo Flow and Soltedo Beats, and strong performances by the respective artists.  Perhaps you don’t understand the language, but with some basic background, “Ignorantes” is quite relatable.
