Peso Pluma, Junior H & Oscar Maydon, Rompe La Dompe | Song Review 🎵

Peso Pluma, Junior H, and Oscar Maydon join forces to release the slick, entertaining Música Mexicana single, “Rompe La Dompe.”

“Rompe la dompe / La paca nunca se acaba.” Word. What happens when Peso Pluma, Junior H, and Oscar Maydon join forces? Why, a hit song, of course! “Rompe La Dompe”, written by El Chachito (Alexis Fierro),  arrived at the tail end of 2023, in all its glory. One of the biggest selling points of regional Mexican music (Música Mexicana) is instrumental accompaniment.  On “Rompe La Dompe,” the rhythmic intensity of the backdrop is utterly sublime.  The guitars! The horns! The active, robust bass line! Even though the intensity is pronounced, it also feels a tad bit mellower, chiller compared to other tracks by Peso Pluma. 

Of course, “Rompe La Dompe” is exclusively recorded in Spanish. For those of us whose Spanish is rusty or sus at best, there are, of course, English lyric translations which provide insight into the record. Even without comprehending the lyrics, however, “Rompe La Dompe” is a vibe. All three musicians perform soundly, collaborating well with one another. The melodies are tuneful throughout. Regarding form, “Rompe La Dompe” keeps things traditional, with verses, pre-choruses, and choruses.  Also, clocking in at a respectable duration, under three minutes, gives just the right amount of song.  Going back to the theme, it’s not far removed from the music from young American artists: drinking, smoking (more than cigarettes), partying, girls… The big takeaway, however, is that “Rompe La Dompe” is another fine example of Peso Pluma and company helping to popularize Regional Mexican music in the US and worldwide. Pretty f’n cool!
