Argentine freestyle queen teams up with La Julito and El Morian for a genre-bending EP that’s both satire and celebration

Argentine freestyle phenomenon Gordo Larvo has turned the urban music scene on its head with “Wanaka,” a wickedly clever EP collaboration with La Julito and El Morian that’s equal parts homage and satire. The project deftly walks the line between parody and respect, amplifying urban music’s familiar tropes into something delightfully self-aware.

What makes “Wanaka” particularly brilliant is how it manages to both mock and celebrate the urban genre’s conventions. The production quality rivals any “serious” release in the scene, with trap-heavy beats and polished soundscapes serving as the perfect backdrop for lyrics that playfully deconstruct everything from flexing culture to social media posturing. Gordo Larvo and her collaborators have essentially created a mirror for the genre to look at itself – and somehow made it impossible not to dance while doing so.

The project has sparked a social media phenomenon, with fans across Instagram and Twitter not just streaming the tracks but creating their own content around the EP’s cleverly exaggerated themes. Each track has become a template for memes and trending audio clips, proving that sometimes the best way to show love for a genre is to lovingly make fun of it. The result is a rare achievement in musical satire – an EP that works both as legitimate urban music and as commentary on the genre itself.

As “Wanaka” continues to gain traction across platforms, it’s cementing Gordo Larvo’s reputation as an artist who can transcend traditional genre boundaries while maintaining her freestyle credibility. In turning urban music’s most obvious tropes into knowing comedy, she and her collaborators have created something genuinely original – a project that makes you think while making you laugh, all without missing a beat.
