Alkemie Sound Lab

Hey everyone! We're back in 2024 with an episode we recorded at the tail end of last year when BIBI and Becky G had just released their collab track, "Amigos." It's a chill, fun song that also serves as a good introduction to K-R&B and Latin music. Given this song bridges the broader worlds of K-pop and Latin music—two of our fav genres—we naturally have have a LOT of thoughts on the song!

This episode is PART 1 of our two-episode discussion on the latest K-pop and Latin music collab, "Amigos" by BIBI and Becky G. Make sure to stay tuned for Part 2 of our discussion later in a future episode, where we give our top song recs for K-pop/Latine music collabs.

EPISODE RUNDOWN:

  • Intro
  • Artist Bios: BIBI & Becky G (2:36)
  • Why does this collab make sense? (5:57)
  • Song Review (20:45)
  • When did we start seeing K-pop/Latin collabs happen? (28:23)
  • Our Hot Takes (39:59)
  • What's NEXT for K-pop/Latine collabs? HYBE's influence (43:18)
  • What we would like to see when K-pop labels go to Latin America (59:29)
  • Wrap Up (66:34)

It's a K-pop Thing is hosted by two journalists and longtime K-pop stans, Alexis Hodoyán-Gastélum and Theresa Avila.
