The Ultimate Global Latin Smash
Taki Taki is a moombahton masterpiece that brings together four superstars. Produced by DJ Snake, it features Puerto Rican singer Ozuna, American rapper Cardi B, and singer Selena Gomez. It became a viral sensation for its infectious hook and bilingual lyrics.
To sing this well, you don't need an operatic range. You need rhythm. The challenge lies in the rapid-fire Spanish delivery, the attitude in the rap sections, and maintaining the groove without rushing. Let's break down the three distinct vocal styles.
Part 1: The Hook (Ozuna)
Ozuna carries the chorus with a smooth, melodic reggaeton flow. The key here is the "pocket." He sings slightly behind the beat to create a relaxed vibe. The phrase "Taki Taki" needs to be percussive—almost like a drum itself.
The Trap: Don't sing this too forcefully. It requires a forward-placed, nasal resonance common in Latin Urban music, but it should sound effortless, not shouted.
Part 2: The Rap (Cardi B)
Cardi B enters with high energy and aggression. Her verse switches between English and Spanish. The difficulty spikes here due to the speed.
- Attitude: You need to project confidence. Use glottal stops to emphasize the end of her lines.
- Breath Control: The line "Cardi B, I'm a boss, you a worker, bitch" is delivered fast. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath before her verse starts so you don't run out of air.
Part 3: The Bridge (Selena Gomez)
Selena brings a softer, breathier contrast to the song. Her section is sung mostly in a "whisper pop" style. This requires excellent breath support to keep the tone consistent without it breaking.
Focus on a light head-voice mix. Unlike Cardi's punchy delivery, Selena's lines should glide over the beat smoothly.
