Growing interest in Spanish language and culture in China brings new channels for learning, like translating reggaeton

A recent study by UPF examines an emerging informal practice among the Chinese community learning Spanish: the translation of Hispanic songs, many of them reggaeton, into Chinese through the country's main music streaming platform, NECM (NetEase Cloud Music), which allows its users to cooperate. Non-professional translators and fans of Spanish and Latin music, of Chinese origin, take advantage of this opportunity to share and comment on their translations on the platform.
