The Cuban reggaeton artist Drayoan Linares, known artistically as El Dray, has secured a strong place in the urban music scene thanks to his fresh style, clever lyrics, and high-profile collaborations.
His career is solidifying steadily. This young talent has shown that Cuban reguetón, or specifically the cast, can also be reflective, wholesome, fun, danceable, and of high quality.
One of their most popular songs is “Salva Vidas”, a collaboration with Wildey and the renowned producer DJ Conds, which has already amassed over 4.8 million views on YouTube.
Another gem in their repertoire is “El Vidente”, also featuring DJ Conds. The music video has already surpassed 3 million views. This offering takes the listener to "another level," as the song states, with a blend of modern rhythms and lyrics full of authenticity.
"The Seer" stands out among the songs of the Cuban cast not only for the quality of its lyrics but also for featuring a piano intro and a guitar solo that leaves no one indifferent.
Another song by El Dray that stands out for the quality of its lyrics and the production of its music video is “Ironía”. Furthermore, it garners favorable reviews on platforms like YouTube, where it approaches 4 million views.
"Without offending anyone, there is no musician of the new generation who comes close to him. He is not vulgar, nor rude, nor does he demean women. It's a delight to listen to him," said a follower of the singer on social media.
This song combines rhythm and reflection, touching on themes such as self-love and the irony in the breakdown of romantic relationships, all while maintaining its danceable and commercial essence.
The participation of El Dray in the viral hit “Ciclista”, alongside L Kimii, Un Titiko, and DJ Conds, reaffirms his ability to connect with the masses. With over 14 million views, this collaboration has become one of the most celebrated in recent Cuban reggaeton.
El Dray is one of the young voices that reinforce the richness of Cuban musical talent. If you’re not fond of the cast, but still enjoy dancing, give it a listen. You might be surprised by a sound you didn't expect.
