The wait is over for fans of Puerto Rican urban music. Rauw Alejandro and Young Miko have officially dropped their first studio collaboration, 'Aquel diciembre', a track that arrives as part of the deluxe edition of Young Miko's acclaimed project Do Not Disturb. The song, which lands as track 5 on the expanded album, has already generated significant buzz across digital platforms.
The collaboration was teased midweek with a short audiovisual clip posted on social media. In the preview, Rauw Alejandro asks, “¿Tú quiere con Rauw y Young Miko a la vez?”, setting the tone for a track that balances nostalgia with the energy of a summer anthem. The clip hints at a melodic, intimate atmosphere, a departure from the harder edges of some recent reggaeton releases.
A Meeting of Two Puerto Rican Generations
Both artists are products of Puerto Rico's vibrant music scene, but they represent different moments in its evolution. Rauw Alejandro, known for blending classic reggaeton with pop and electronic influences, has built a career on albums like Cosa Nuestra, PLAYA SATURNO, and SATURNO. Young Miko, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the most exciting new voices in Latin urban music, bringing a fresh flow and a style that has resonated with younger audiences.
Though they've crossed paths at high-profile events—including Rauw's appearance at the MET Gala in May 2026—this marks their first formal studio collaboration. Industry observers have pointed to the complementary nature of their styles as a key factor in the song's potential success. Rauw's ability to move between genres pairs well with Young Miko's direct, confident delivery.
The deluxe edition of Do Not Disturb is set for release on May 29, and 'Aquel diciembre' is expected to be a standout track. The song's title suggests a reflective, possibly bittersweet narrative about a past romance, a theme that both artists have explored in their recent work. This emotional depth, combined with the track's rhythmic structure, positions it as a strong candidate for summer playlists.
For those following the evolution of Latin urban music, this collaboration is a significant moment. It brings together two artists who have each shaped the sound of contemporary reggaeton in distinct ways. As the summer heats up, 'Aquel diciembre' could become a defining track of the season, further cementing Puerto Rico's influence on global pop culture.
