Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no smartphone and no access to the internet, you wouldn’t have been able to escape the euphoria around Despacito.
Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi’s international chartbuster has been making people of all languages and nationalities go bat-shit crazy with its groovy music and spectacular video. Even though people don’t exactly understand the lyrics, they’ve been dancing to it at clubs and parties and watching the video on repeat!
