Turn Up the Heat With Argentina's and Brazil's 2024 Songs of Summer

From December to March, as people across the Southern Hemisphere soak up the summer, music often emerges as a powerful representation of a region's cultures and customs.

This summer, music in Argentina and Brazil reflected each country's rich cultural diversity. From the infectious vibes of cuarteto to the catchy rhythms of cumbia and the far-reaching sounds of trap and funk music, Spotify served as the main stage for fans to discover and enjoy the hottest hits.

Now that the season has come to an end, we took a closer look at our data to uncover the trends driving streams on Spotify and, of course, which tracks brought the most heat.

Argentina On Spotify, listeners in Argentina came in hot this summer. In fact, the creation of playlists with the word verano or summer in the title was up 70% compared to summer 2023, resulting in more than 25,000 user-generated playlists.

A wave of nostalgia Beyond the top hits, a notable summer trend spotted by our editorial team in Brazil was an uptick in local artists' breathing new life into older hits.

Pop star Pabllo Vittar dropped Pede Pra Eu Ficar, a Brazilian version of the late-'80s classic Listen To Your Heart by Roxette.

Singer-songwriter Marina Sena joined forces with Chic o do Piseiro, Roni Bruno, and Mts No Beat to reimagine her 2019 track Ombrim. The new version, Ombrim (ai que delicia o ver o), is influenced by piseiro, a genre from northeast Brazil that combines electronic keyboards with vocal harmonization.

Musician MC Koringa teamed up with DJ JO O PEREIRA to give his 2012 hit Pra Me Provocar a modern, funk twist with DAN A PRA ME PROVOCAR.

Voando pro Par (Pedro Sampaio Remix Oficial) by DJ-producer PEDRO SAMPAIO is a techno remix of the 2016 song Voando Pro Par by Joelma.
