KAROL G, Shakira – TQG (Official Video)

Karol G is a singer-songwriter from Colombia.

Her collaboration with fellow countrywoman Shakira, “TQG,” is perfect for anyone looking for a slightly unconventional dance track.

By the way, the title is an abbreviation of “Te Quedó Grande,” which means “you were too much to handle.” As that suggests, the song is sung entirely in Spanish.

Especially for a school festival where the dance club performs, the distinctive sound of Spanish in this track could help set your routine apart from other schools’ song choices.

Be sure to consider it!

Tiësto & Karol G – Don’t Be Shy (Official Music Video)

In the 2020s, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the most successful music producer is Tiësto.

His activity during this decade has been truly remarkable.

The track where he collaborates with Colombia’s leading female singer, Karol G, is “Don’t Be Shy.” Unusually for a song sung by Karol G, it’s not Latin-flavored but performed as pop EDM.

It’s a catchy, upbeat sound, so be sure to use it for your school festival.
