Punjabi music and reggaeton would always work well together.
Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has joined forces with Latin music icon Daddy Yankee for a new collaborative track titled ‘Pokito’.
The release brings together two artists from different musical backgrounds, combining Punjabi music with Latin influences.
The collaboration marks another international move for Diljit as he continues to expand his presence across global music markets.
Visuals for the track have also been released, introducing fans to the latest musical partnership.
The song was released on October 30, 2026, as part of Daddy Yankee’s latest album, ‘LA POSTAL’.
The 15-track project also features collaborations with international artists including Cardi B, Myke Towers, Danny Ocean and Bizarrap.
‘Pokito’ appears as the seventh track on the album, bringing together Punjabi influences and the Puerto Rican artist’s established reggaeton sound.
Diljit Dosanjh opens the song with Punjabi vocals before Daddy Yankee takes over with Spanish verses.
Its production combines elements of bhangra and reggaeton, creating a sound that draws on both artists’ musical backgrounds.
The accompanying music video was directed by Stillz and features the performers in a series of colourful settings.
The visuals bring together elements associated with both artists, complementing the bilingual nature of the release.
Rather than presenting the collaboration as two separate musical styles, the video places them within the same creative setting.
Speaking about the collaboration, Daddy Yankee explained that Punjabi music and reggaeton would always work well together.
He also revealed that Diljit travelled to Puerto Rico to record the track in person, describing the experience as special.
The singer said the song explores hard work and discipline as part of self-love, with its message reflecting the determination required to achieve success.
The collaboration adds to Diljit’s growing list of international musical partnerships.
He has previously worked with artists including Sia, J Balvin, Saweetie, Jackson Wang and NLE Choppa.
His work with international performers has helped introduce Punjabi music to audiences beyond traditional South Asian markets.
The latest release also highlights the possibilities of bringing different musical languages and influences together.
The collaboration further demonstrates how Punjabi music continues to reach new international audiences, with artists exploring opportunities to bring different cultures and sounds together.
With ‘Pokito’, Diljit and Daddy Yankee have brought Punjabi and Latin sounds into one release, offering listeners a collaboration that connects two distinct music cultures.
