La Materialista Is Back With “Taka Taka,” an Anthem for All the Chapiadoras

After last year’s “La Chapa Que Vibran,” La Materialista set the bar high for herself in the dembow anthem category. Now she’s back, bringing breakneck speed emcee N-fasis (aka El Hombre de Mil Virtudes) along for the ride, whose fairy tale-derailed video for “Dibujos Animados” we’re still recovering from.

“Taka Taka” takes us on a strobe-lit journey into a Xica Da Silva spoof, where Yameiry Infante Honoret struts her stuff in a silver leotard with a fast-paced dembow dialogue with N-fasis-turned-comendador. It’s the back-and-forth seductive lyricism that one might expect in a dembow track, but there’s something undeniably likable about La Materialista’s chapiadora-positive outlook.
