Despacito – revival of a classic
It’s old hat. Out of fashion. Yes, this summer hit has passed its sell-by date. However, this doesn’t seem to keep musicians from coming up with new cover versions. Here are a few surprising takes on Despacito.
Piano loop
This is the high-end version of the song: Played on an open piano and fine-tuned with a loop station. Listen and enjoy. This version has the potential to convert any Despacito hater.
Papaya
How not to love the small, yellow minions? Being the icons they are, there’s no way they could have missed this opportunity to make us all laugh. With great success!
Tomorrowland
Yes, the summer hit even found its way into the largest electronic dance music festival of the world. Wow!
The classic
No, this isn’t the original version. It’s the classical version of two cellists who put their very own spin on the song.
Hopp Schwiiz
Even locals and Swiss confederates get their money's worth this summer – thanks to Despacito.
Bye-bye toothache
That’s the kind of dentist I’d like to have. Or maybe not?
Austrian Latinos
We wouldn’t want all those lovers of Schlager music to miss out. This bright green band from Austria make sure they don’t. Whether we should thank them for it is a separate question.
The original
For all purists, aficionados and experts of the Despacito scene.
When I'm not stuffing my face with sweets, you'll catch me running around in the gym hall. I’m a passionate floorball player and coach. On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
