With an estimated 33,922,381 monthly listeners on Spotify at the time this article was published, the artist Quevedo, who is closely identified with Canarian culture although he was born in Madrid and lived in Brazil until the age of four, has for the time being become the most listened-to artist both across the islands and on the Iberian Peninsula.
The trap artist has overtaken Rosalía in the rankings (with 26,999,894 streams in the past month, according to the latest estimates) and Rels B (23,439,003). "I always write from the perspective of Las Palmas and the islands," he said in a recent interview with the regional broadcaster Radio Televisión Canaria. "It makes me feel free, and feeling free makes me feel good".
