The song +57, performed by top Colombian artists, triggered outrage for its lyrics that many believe sexualize children, igniting a debate on cultural representation in reggaeton.
Music experts suggest that the attention surrounding +57 is unprecedented for a reggaeton track, primarily due to its all-star collaboration and perceived cultural significance.
The public reaction to the song highlights a broader discussion on the portrayal of Colombian culture in music, where some defend the genre while others condemn its content.
High-profile controversies, like J Balvin's music video featuring Black actors in submissive roles, add further complexity to the criticisms of the messages conveyed in reggaeton.
