Review

Tusa” is a famous song by the Colombian singer Karol G, and the rapper Nicki Minaj. The song was released on November 7, 2019. The song has had a great impact since its release and became one of the most listened to songs in Latinamerica, the song was a success on social media and surprisingly was more famous among men than women. You could see when it was released videos of groups of boys singing the song all aloud.

Tusa” was nominated twice at the Latin Grammys and reached the number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100, later it peaked at number 56 on the Rolling Stone Top 100.

“Tusa” doesn’t tell us a complicated story yet it teaches us a simple but powerful message. The lyrics of the song speak about a girl who is depressed and angry because her boyfriend broke up with her. She looks fine and now she plays with the men, however when she is dancing at the disco and is put to play a certain song, she starts to cry, remembering her hex, she starts to call her but she doesn’t answer as he is probably with another girl.

Nicky Minaj does an incredible rap while teaching the girls that is better to have fun, to enjoy their lives, and not to worry about a man.

This song is pretty good for Spanish learners since is very friendly with the language, the Spanish sentences are easy and not too complicated and you can understand better what the song tries to transmit since Nicky Minaj's solo is sung in English. If we have to rate this out of ten, we will give it 4 points of difficulty.

If you liked “Tusa” we can also recommend you to check “Vuela, Vuela” an incredible song with easy lyrics if you want to practice new words without taking too much time trying to understand what it says.
