"El Incomprendido" (English: "Misunderstood") is a Dembow Guaracha fusion song by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Farruko and Colombian producer Victor Cardenas and the dominican Dj Adoni. It was released as single on October 1, 2021 from Farruko's studio album La 167, via Sony Music Latin.[1]
The song’s title and opening lines are a homage to one of Puerto Rico’s greatest singers, Ismael Rivera, who had a song also called “Incomprendido”, written by Bobby Capó and released in 1972 on the album “Esto Fué Lo Que Trajo El Barco”, under Tico Records.
The track follows "Pepas" musical style, and remakes Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" (1999) and David Guetta's Play Hard (2012), and performs in Spanish. [2] The song is written in the key of B major, with a tempo of 128 beats per minute.[3]
The song’s opening bridge and title is a direct reference to “Incomprendido” by Ismael Rivera, one of his most famous songs and one of Puerto Rico’s greatest singers. Originally written for Ismael Rivera by another famous Puerto Rican songwriter, Bobby Capo, the song from Farruko interpolates the opening lines of Maelo’s hit and also uses it as the bridge.
An accompanying music video was released on October 1, 2021, The video is recorded "in a kind of open party using a large number of people to do the choreography" that is already going viral on social networks, it has received over 12 million views.[4]
