‘Mañana Será Bonito,’ Karol G: It took decades for reggaetón to be recognised in the mainstream arena and outside of the diverse Latin communities that created it — music comprising Jamaican dancehall riddims, Puerto Rican el underground, Panamanian reggae en español, New York hip-hop and beyond. But even now, when reggaetón enjoys worldwide success, men dominate the conversation: Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, and Rauw Alejandro, to name a few. On ‘Mañana Será Bonito,’ the greatest album in Karol G’s discography, the Colombian superstar proves there’s been some serious gender oversight. This album should be considered part of a modern canon for the explosive dem bow of ‘Ojos Ferrari,’ the dance-y ‘Ciaro,’ the breathy ‘TQG,’ featuring Shakira, the Afrobeats of ‘Carolina.’
