And it's like she made a reset on my mind, you know? Like, it's like she - she's everything to me right now. And she gives me - wow - many reasons to keep dreaming. MALUMA: Like Paris, our beautiful daughter, she's growing inside her mom's belly. But at the same time, the more human I feel, the more honest I get. So this makes me feel so human, you know? And I love this. I love being on tour, but I also want to keep growing as a human being, you know, not only as an artist. I'm looking for more personal experiences, too. This is perfect timing - I mean, all the beautiful things that I'm living.

SAYRE: How does it feel to say that out loud? You know, like, this is the only way or some of the ways that I can talk to my fans - through music, you know? And I just wanted to let them know that I was - and that I'm having a baby. SAYRE: And I couldn't help but think that that had to relate to what you're feeling right now. People love reggaeton and urban music.ĪNAMARIA SAYRE, BYLINE: You just announced that you're going to be a dad. And that's what is happening right now in Latin America and around the world. That's why it's so strong right now - because you can mix it with every genre. Even my own songs, if you listen to "Felices Los 4," it's a very pop song, but the drums are a reggaeton drum. You know, like, we can hear different kind of songs.

So at the end of the day, it's like, that's actually why reggaeton is conquering a bunch of charts right now - because you can mix it with every genre. You know, it's not like I do reggaeton and that's it. Sometimes people say that I'm a reggaetonaire (ph), but I'm not a reggaetonaire. MALUMA: (Singing in non-English language). And as you'll hear in a moment, to share some big news. Recently, he sat down with NPR's Alt.Latino hosts Felix Contreras and Anamaria Sayre to talk about his music. Finally today, Colombian reggaeton star Maluma performed at NPR's Tiny Desk.
