Rvssian Taps Rauw Alejandro and Wizkid for Reggaeton and Afrobeats Fusion

Rvssian is back with yet another Rauw Alejandro collaboration. The multi-platinum Jamaican producer tapped the Puerto Rican star, along with Afrobeats pioneer Wizkid, for “Pongo,” across-cultural jam that fuses reggaeton and Afrobeats.

“I’m a curator who enjoys bringing artists together and unifying different genres,” Rvssian said in a press release. While the producer has worked with Alejandro before, this is his first song with the Nigerian star.

Along with the track, Rvssian also shared a video for “Pongo,” which features all three musicians. Just like the song, the warm-hued video manages to capture the brightness of both Afrobeats and dancehall. In the visual, Alejandro, Wizkid, and Rvssian sing from a large vintage house as their muses dance around them.

“Pongo” is the latest collaboration from Rvssian and Alejandro and arrives nearly two years after the success of the pair’s dance-ready “Santa,” which dominated the Billboard 200 and featured Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr. Prior to that, Rvssian tapped Alejandro for 2021’s R&B-inspired “Nostálgico.”

Rvssian has been sharing his global sound for nearly a decade, working with major stars across genres like Vybz Kartel, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Post Malone, Cardi B, and more. Since then, the hit-making producer has amassed billions of streams across streaming platforms with his genre-bending music. He also founded music labels Rich Immigrants and Head Concussion Records.
