You’re living under a rock if you haven’t heard about Bad Bunny’s historic residency that just wrapped up last Saturday (September 20). During the residency, the Puerto Rican icon shared his spotlight with legends and emerging artists, including compatriot RaiNao.
Born Naomi Ramírez, RaiNao is a 31-year-old queer singer and songwriter from Santurce, Puerto Rico. But a collaboration with Bad Bunny didn’t happen overnight. She’s actually been studying music all her life, specifically the saxophone and music theory, which she still frequently adds to her music. Makes sense, since music has always been in her blood – did you know that her father was a salsa singer?
In 2020, she released her first single “He Tratado,” followed by a four-song musical project called En Vivo y Coleando. Two years later, she released her official debut EP, ahora A.K.A NAO, featuring a collaboration with Villano Antillano. In 2025, she released her first album CAPICÚ, including collaborations with Tainy, Wiso Rivera, Loui Santana, MJ Nebrada, and more. Now, she’s continuing to put her R&B, alt-perreo, and pop songs on the map with a new collaboration, “FAVORiTE” with Pj Sin Suela.
But what songs should you listen to get a better insight into who she is musically? From her collaboration “PERFuMITO NUEVO” with Bad Bunny to “Mi Piscis,” here are five songs by the talented Boricua singer that should be on your playlist.
“PERFuMITO NUEVO”
“PERFuMITO NUEVO” is a song on Bad Bunny’s album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. The collaboration has skyrocketed RaiNao’s fame with opportunities like special performances, such as singing on Saturday Night Live.
“FAVORiTE”
“FAVORiTE” is RaiNao’s newest collaboration with Pj Sin Suela. The collaboration is a mix of reggaeton and electronic music.
“sofocón”
“sofocón” is one of RaiNao’s new singles of the year. In this song, she features her saxophone, giving an ode to her musical upbringing.
“dale Play”
Another song we love by RaiNao is “dale Play.” “dale Play,” is an alternative pop collaboration with Puerto Rican singer-songwriter paopao.
“Mi Piscis”
Lastly, “Mi Piscis” is an alternative R&B heartfelt ballad from RaiNao’s debut EP Ahora A.K.A NAO, that we think you should listen to.
With all this musical diversity in mind, which is your favorite RaiNao track?
