Casa Spotify is honoring Puerto Rico, the birthplace of reggaeton and stars like Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee, with a weeklong residency beginning today (6/20) in San Juan.

In 2022 five of the top 10 Latin artists on Spotify were from Puerto Rico. As part of the streamer's commitment to elevate Puerto Rican artists, Casa Spotify: Puerto Rico will offer a range of educational sessions for artists and aspiring creatives, workshops, master classes, panel discussions, networking opportunities, showcases and a state-of-the-art interactive museum experience that dives into the history of reggaeton and explores how the island came to be known as "La Cuna del Reggaeton." The residency will close with a surprise performance by a legendary Puerto Rican artist.

Said Spotify Head of U.S. Latin, Artist Partnerships Eddie Santiago, “Puerto Rico has long been at the forefront of Latin music. With Casa Spotify: Puerto Rico coming to the island, we're providing educational tools, networking opportunities and experiences to local creators that will help cultivate the next generation of emerging talent."
