JL el Callejero Proves Viral Success with New Track "Las Cucarachas"

JL el Callejero is determined to prove that the success of "Los Peces" was not just a one-hit wonder. The Cuban artist has just released "Las Cucarachas" and is already promoting the track on social media with a catchy phrase poised to become another viral hook.

In a reel shared on Instagram, JL sings, "People thought it was a fluke, but I'm still taking out the roaches... po, po, po, po, po," to tease the release.

In the post's description, he announced that this is his "second track" and confirmed that "Las Cucarachas" is now available on Spotify. He also tagged Volty Las Manos Mágicas and @cubanodecalle in his post.

The video features several scenes of the artist in Havana: wearing his signature hat and large dark sunglasses, he is seen first sitting in a room and then near the Havana seafront, performing snippets of the song.

Endorsement from Osmani García

Among the reactions to the release, one stood out significantly. Osmani García chimed in, expressing his approval of the new track.

The Cuban singer commented, "It's got the venooooom," accompanied by multiple fire emojis, and added, "You no longer need to mention dictators to get attention... keep it up, that's the path."

Osmani wrapped up his comment by repeating the "po, po, po" from the song and the phrase, "people thought it was a fluke," which is precisely the message JL seems to be conveying as he embarks on this new phase.

JL quickly responded, "Wow, yes, maestro, you got me," affirming that the next step is to "keep making music," while inviting Osmani García to stay updated with his work.

Following the "Los Peces" Phenomenon

"Las Cucarachas" follows the unexpected success JL el Callejero experienced with "Los Peces," whose chorus "Todos ustedes son peces y cayeron en el jamo" became one of the most replayed audios among Cubans on social networks.

CiberCuba previously detailed how the track emerged from a challenge initiated by Osniel Kimii and how JL's unique rendition stood out among the various versions.

"Los Peces," alongside Volty Las Manos Mágicas, made the leap from social media to digital platforms. A recent snapshot of his Spotify profile shows JL el Callejero with around 19,600 monthly listeners, and the track has surpassed 53,000 streams.

Now, "Las Cucarachas" joins "Los Peces" as a featured song on the artist's profile, though it's still too early to tell if it will achieve the same reach as its predecessor.

For now, JL seems to have a clear message for those who thought his previous success was just a streak: another song, another memorable hook, and the "po, po, po, po" that he hopes will once again capture his audience's attention.
