Arcángel did not talk about music this time.
The Puerto Rican singer took a moment to speak directly to the young people who spend hours in front of a screen chasing trends such as “farm aura” or the viral “six seven”, those phenomena flooding TikTok that almost no one understands where they came from or what they are for. His message was simple and direct: leave that aside.
“The true wealth of human beings lies in knowledge”, he said, and he did not stop there. He went further with advice that sounds almost like a grandfather’s scolding: “Read… better yet, enrich your brain”. Coming from one of the biggest figures in urban music, the phrase generated a different kind of echo from the one his songs usually have, and sparked a conversation about how much young people are really consuming on social media.
