Chuwi is a Puerto Rican musical group that formed in 2019 in Isabela, Puerto Rico.[1][2][3]
History
The group was created by siblings Willy, Lorén and Wester Aldarondo in the Puerto Rican city of Isabela. The group grew up in the context of the protests in Puerto Rico in the wake of Telegramgate since in their lyrics, they vindicate themes such as the independence of Puerto Rico, migration and gentrification, among others.[1] Chuwi has caught the attention of musicians such as Eduardo Cabra and Buscabulla.
Chuwi is featured in Bad Bunny's sixth solo studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, released on January 5, 2025, with the single "Weltita",[4][5] as well as during the entirety of the rapper's concert residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, held at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, from July to September 2025.
