All about 'Pokito'
Pokito is a Punjabi-Spanish track that combines two distinct musical styles, blending Dosanjh's Punjabi vocals and bhangra influences with Yankee's signature Reggaeton sound.
The song features the recurring Spanish phrase "Poquito a poquito," which translates to "little by little."
The music video for Pokito, directed by Stillz, celebrates both cultures.
