Notch from Hartford
Hartford is one of the truly great towns in the U.S., with a very lively and diverse population. There is a lot of rich history here, and a lot of contemporary historical moments, and it’s a great place to visit. It’s possible to visit to see historic sites, hang out with old friends, and also to get in touch with the local communities. There are many different hotels in Hartford that cater to many different tastes, and with great hospitality and style. It’s one of the classic east coast cities, and now boasts one of the largest Puerto Rican communities on the mainland of the United States.
It makes perfect sense, then, that a conglomeration of identities here would find a home in the music of the local hero, Notch . He’s one of the more prominent reggaeton artists given airplay these days, and if you’re visiting for any length of time, and anywhere near the regions where popular culture might reach, then you’ll certainly run into his sound. His particular music, however, was only formally exclusively reggaeton for a short period. His recent hit, Hay Que Bueno, follows in this category, but he jumps in and out of categorization with a great fluidity.
He himself is a confluence of cultures and traditions. In his background there is Portuguese, Cuban, Jamaican, French, and Native influence, and he calls his style of singing Spatoinglish , a combination of Spanish, Patois, and English. This is a very powerful combination that makes for a musician who is absolutely captivating. He commands attention through the force as well as the sweetness of his music, and it’s a delightful thing to hear when you are on the dance floor, and want something that will make you move, even when you are exhausted.
