Celebrating Old School Reggaeton with Bellakath
Bellakath's "Intro Old School (feat. Dj Yaso)" is a vibrant homage to the roots of reggaeton, a genre that originated in Puerto Rico and has since taken the world by storm. The song's title and lyrics suggest a nostalgic return to the 'old school' or classic era of reggaeton, often characterized by its raw, streetwise energy and distinctive dembow rhythm.
The lyrics are a boastful display of Bellakath's confidence in her musical prowess, style, and flow. She positions herself as a dominant figure in the scene, using the metaphor of being 'la sensación del bloque' (the sensation of the block) and shining like a lighthouse. The repetition of 'que tengo el estilo, que tengo el flow' emphasizes her self-assuredness and command over the genre. Bellakath also asserts her independence and allure, stating that while she's visible to all, she's not easily accessible, maintaining a sense of mystery and desirability.
The song also touches on themes of nightlife and party culture, with references to dancing ('perreo') and a call to raise hands if one identifies as a 'bellaco' (a term that can mean eager, lustful, or party-goer in this context). The mention of 'Yankee' could be a nod to Daddy Yankee, a reggaeton legend, and the 'combi completa' (full combo) of 'tusi, mona, hierba' likely refers to a mix of substances often associated with partying. Overall, the song is an energetic celebration of reggaeton's heritage and Bellakath's place within it.
