Sua Cara is the latest Latin video taking YouTube by storm
Move over ‘Despacito’ and pack your bags ‘Mi Gente’ – there’s another Latin-infused track blowing up on YouTube.
We say ‘infused’ because the main artist, Major Lazer, isn’t from Latin America. However, the featured artists on their ’Sua Cara’ track are Brazilian singers Anitta and Pabllo Vittar.
YouTube announced yesterday that the official video notched up more than 20m views in its first 24 hours on the service, with more likes in its first day than any music video in YouTube’s history. The video has since climbed to more than 70.5m views on YouTube.

Sandbox 126 – Patron Saints: Digital Music’s Funding Revolution
Lead: Bubbling under for years, the idea of fan patronage for artists has reached a fascinating point of maturity, with major label acts now looking (albeit tentatively) at what they can do here. “The only ingredient you need is a loyal community – a community that finds true value in your work,” says Anthony Privitelli from Patreon. Artists who are putting in the effort are seeing the results; but looming on the horizon is how YouTube may change its T&Cs on what artists can and can’t do with their content elsewhere and this is something that could blow a hole through this sector.
