The stylish Argentinian
Singer with a huge
Social Media following embraces traditional Latin sounds, trap and R&B
Nathy Peluso has built up a huge social media following, thanks in part to the videos she posts of herself doing sexy-weird things such as twerking over a salad or salsa dancing while miming into a banana. Her 90s aesthetic is like all of the Spice Girls rolled into one, served with a side of irony. She even has a song about pizza.
But she isn’t all style over substance. The 25-year-old, who was born in
Argentina and grew up in
Spain, is often compared to Spanish megastar Rosalía who blends R&B and flamenco influences. Peluso’s lie more with neo-soul and hip-hop, while her 2018 EP La Sandunguera had a distinct jazz flavour. This year the singles have been steady: in February she released the plucky statement of intent Business Woman, with its tense, Dr Dre-style beat, and in April, No Se Perdona, a feathery R&B tune with another internet-famous
Rapper, Rels B.
