Quevedo Unveils Merengue Single 'Ni Borracho' for Gran Canaria Carnival

Quevedo, the well-known artist from Gran Canaria, is back with a new song called 'Ni Borracho'. He's a big name in music worldwide, and he dropped this track early last Friday, February 13. He first announced it on his social media, which got his fans very excited.

This new release comes out just as the Gran Canaria Carnival is happening (February 8 to March 16). It's a big change in style for Quevedo. He's usually known for urban music, but this time he's gone for a merengue beat. This choice fits perfectly with the festive spirit and culture of the Canary Islands. He shared a video on Instagram to announce it, showing him on an Atlantic cliff, playing a snippet of the song.

The lyrics of 'Ni Borracho' are already out there online. Some lines talk about feeling tired and wanting to get away, like: "Today I saw a bad face, when I looked in the mirror. My dark circles are marked, even my reflection got scared. I'll have to move far away, if I want to grow old." But other parts are very festive and celebrate the lively Canary Islands parties: "Who the hell said that in the Canary Islands people don't go out, who the hell said that in the Canary Islands there's nothing. The brass is already playing, the timbales are already playing, merengue at carnivals." This shows he wants to dedicate the song to his home and its famous carnival, making sure it's played everywhere on the islands for weeks to come.

This new musical direction follows his successful album 'Buenas noches', which made him a global star at just 24. It proves he can try out new sounds while still staying true to his roots.
