Santo Domingo.-The bachata “Hija de la Noche” (Daughter of the Night), a new musical theme released by the independent label led by the businessman Santiago Matías, Alofoke Music Sound in alliance with Sony Music, is beginning to consolidate its international impact after positioning itself, a few hours after its premiere, as number one in music trends on YouTube in several Latin American and European countries. The song, along with its official video, reached first place in the Dominican Republic, Spain, the United States, Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Puerto Rico, reflecting the global reach that the song has achieved since its release on the morning of this Thursday.
The single, performed by singer-songwriter Nacho Estrella, urban artist and producer Jey One along with Diana Laiz, “Diana La Miss”, an emerging talent in Dominican female music, discovered by Matías, the three current participants in the Planeta Alofoke reality show, managed to position itself among the main musical trends in other important international markets, occupying the number 7 position in Canada and Uruguay, number 10 in Colombia, 18 in Ecuador and 24 in Argentina and Peru.
Globally, the official video for “Hija de la Noche” reached number 3 among trending music videos, surpassing productions by internationally renowned artists such as Yandel, Maná, and even the popular Anglo-Saxon singer Harry Styles, who occupied lower positions in the platform’s global ranking.
In this theme, the traditional essence of bachata merges with more urban and bohemian styles, addressing with respect and empathy the reality faced by sex workers.
The official video, filmed in the Colonial Zone under the direction of Ad Media Films, has been one of the most talked-about elements on social media due to its cinematographic and bohemian aesthetic that reinforces what is reflected in the lyrics of the song.
In addition to leading trends, “Daughter of the Night” is rapidly approaching half a million views in just five hours since its official premiere, being one of the Dominican releases with the greatest digital impact inside and outside the Dominican Republic.
