“For as long as I can remember, music has played an important part in my life, especially on match days,” Messi explained. “Music quiets my mind, helps me stay calm and relaxed.”
Recently, Messi’s favorite warm-up playlist has been released on Feb 20, 2024, featuring 60 songs from various Latin artists such as Maluma, Rauw Alejandro, Bizarrap, and others.
Having grown up immersed in Asian, US, and UK music cultures, my musical tastes definitely differ from Messi’s. In this article, I will highlight the songs from the playlist that I also enjoy listening to. Let’s see how my musical tastes and those of my football idol collide.
1. DESPACITO (Translate: Slowly) – Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee
2.TODO DE TI (Translate: Everything about you) – Rauw Alejandro
3. QUEVEDO: BZRP MUSIC SESSIONS, VOL. 52 – Bizzarap, Quevedo
4. QLONA – Karol G, Peso Pluma
5. YA NO VUELVAS (VERSION CUARTETO) – Luck Ra, Ka K’onga, Ke personajes
6. VIVA LA VIDA – Coldplay
7. DON’T STOP THE MUSIC – Rihanna
8. DARTE UN BESO – Prince Royce
9. UN X100TO – Grupo Frontera, Bad Bunny
10. LA BACHATA – Manuel Turizo
11. LOS DEL ESPACIO – LIT killah, Tiago PZK, Maria Becerra, Emilia, Rusherking, Big One
12. TACONES ROJOS – Sebastian Yatra
13. PEPAS – Farruko
13 out of 60, lower than I expected. But these 13 songs are definitely ones that I would enjoy and have on my phone to listen to regularly.
