The roots of ‘Las Avispas’
The original ‘Las Avispas’, written by Dominican artist Juan Luis Guerra, is an uplifting song about faith, resilience, and protection. It was released in 2004 on the Grammy-winning album, Para Ti. The song blended merengue and gospel elements and earned several awards, including Latin Grammy Awards for Best Tropical Song and Best Christian Album, as well as Billboard Latin Music Awards for Gospel-Pop and Tropical-Merengue Song of the Year.
In this 2025 version, HUGEL adds an energetic Afro-House beat while keeping the song’s soulful feel. He collaborates with BRØDER, the French duo of brothers Thibault and Arnaud from Marseille, who are known for their creative music and have over 60 million Spotify streams. Spijker, a rising Dutch DJ and producer, brings his unique sound and experiences from events like Burning Man and performances in Brazil. ‘Las Avispas’ is more than just a cover; it honors a legendary artist through a modern lens.
