Raymix (musician)

  • ... that "Oye Mujer", a song certified 14× Multi-Platinum (Latin) in the US, was composed by Mexican musician Raymix while he was participating in a NASA educative internship? Sources: "Entonces me llegó la oportunidad de irme a la NASA a hacer una estancia [...] Cierta vez, recapitulando aquella experiencia psicosomática en la NASA, se puso a escuchar cumbia. Harta cumbia. Encarrerado, completamente solo, llegó la inspiración. 'Y, asumecha, no me gustó lo que hice; me encantó. Sonaba comercial, sonaba erótico, sonaba muy bien'. 'Oye mujer' había nacido." [Then I got the opportunity to go to NASA to do an internship ... One time, reminding that pyschosomatic experience at NASA, he started to listen to cumbia. A lot of cumbia. Enclosed, completely alone, inspiration came. 'And, damn, I didn't just like what I did: I loved it. It sounded commercial, sounded erotic, sounded very well'. 'Oye Mujer' was born.] (Vice--Rolling Stone says "as a project manager and systems engineer" [1], but Raymix calls it "estancia/internship"[2]; for the certification RIAA's website)

  • The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the non-English references, and thank you for the translation given in this nomination. A QPQ has been completed. The hook is cited and interesting. Good to go. SL93 (talk) 03:17, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
