TikTok’s First Música Mexicana Hit: SpliffHappy’s “Guerita

New York, NY – Rising Mexican-American star SpliffHappy is carving out a new chapter in Latin music history with the release of his groundbreaking 1-minute single, “Güerita“.

In collaboration with TikTok Mexico, SpliffHappy has become the first-ever Música Mexicana artist to tailor a track specifically for the short-form content platform, positioning himself as a trailblazer in both the Latin music industry and the digital space. His partnership with TikTok Mexico, part of the global initiative for #MúsicaMexicana, is set to revolutionize how traditional Mexican music is consumed and shared with the world.

SpliffHappy, born in Brooklyn to Mexican parents, is no stranger to pushing boundaries. His unique fusion of urban Brooklyn energy and the soulful rhythms of Música Mexicana has earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting new voices in the genre. “Güerita” is the perfect manifestation of this hybrid sound, blending tradition with innovation in a track that captures the essence of both his heritage and the modern digital age.

A Bold Collaboration with TikTok Mexico

TikTok has transformed the way people discover and engage with music, and SpliffHappy is leading the charge for Música Mexicana’s entrance into the platform’s global ecosystem. Through his collaboration with TikTok Mexico, the artist has joined the platform’s #MúsicaMexicana initiative, a global campaign designed to bring Mexican music to international audiences.

“Güerita,” a 1-minute track crafted to fit TikTok’s viral-friendly format, is the perfect vehicle to engage with the platform’s massive audience. The track’s infectious melody, paired with its deep cultural roots, is already making waves across the platform, offering users the chance to remix, dance, and celebrate their own interpretations of the song. This partnership highlights TikTok’s role in amplifying voices from diverse cultural backgrounds, allowing an artist like SpliffHappy to share his story and music with a broader audience.

SpliffHappy’s decision to release a 1-minute track breaks the traditional mold of Latin music, which often favors longer, album-style releases. By embracing TikTok’s format, he is tapping into a new way of storytelling through music, creating an experience that fits perfectly into the way people consume content today.

Shot in iconic Mexico City locations like Xochimilco, El Zócalo, and Colonia Roma, the music video captures the beauty of traditional Mexican culture, while simultaneously pushing it into the future.

The video also features bold, cutting-edge fashion from the Prima Volta line by celebrated Mexican designer Anuar Layon. This combination of traditional and contemporary elements mirrors SpliffHappy’s music, which fuses the sounds of his Mexican roots with the gritty, urban beats of Brooklyn. The fashion and music partnership in “Güerita” is a testament to the artist’s vision of blending old and new to create something entirely fresh and exciting.
