Juan Rafael Coronado Yucra (born 26 July 1996), known professionally as Cs Corona or simply Corona, is a Bolivian Latin trap singer, considered the greatest exponent of this genre in Bolivia.[1][2]
Early life and education
Corona began making music in 2014 and has since become a leading figure in his genre in Bolivia. Born in the Virgen de Guadalupe neighborhood, he was a gang member in his teens until he decided to dedicate himself to music.[3] He also enrolled at Gabriel René Moreno Autonomous University, studying industrial engineering and computer science, but did not complete his studies.[4]
Career
In addition to his solo career, Corona is also the leader of the hip hop group Cruz Santa, made up of young people between the ages of 17 and 32.[5] This group began around 2014.[6] He also works with the production company Tiluchi Records.[7]
In 2019, Corona released "Choca Bandida", a collaboration with fellow Santa Cruz native Vaccix.[8] In 2021, he was nominated as a promising artist at the Billboard Awards,[7] and also participated in the first edition of the Respira festival,[7] a prominent event in the music industry. In addition, he won the award for Best Urban Artist of the Year at the 2021 Bolivia Music Awards.[9] In 2022 he released his first studio album, Boliganga SRL.[10] That same year, he shared the stage with reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee in the city of Santa Cruz.[11] He also shared the stage with Argentine artist L-Gante.[3]
To the rhythm of ranchera music and rap, Corona and singer Luis Vega released the song "Desvelados" on 25 March 2023.[12] Later, in November of the same year, he collaborated with Lu de la Tower on the song "Error 403", a pop-rock fusion that reached number one in plays in Bolivia and was positioned at number 22 in the national Top 50 on Spotify.[13] The song was later preselected for the Latin Grammys, marking an outstanding recognition in the career of the artist.[14]
With "Mi Debilidad", a collaboration with Luis Vega and Bonny Lovy released in March 2025, Corona ventured into salsa using the Santa Cruz History Museum as the location for the music video.[15] The song was published on digital platforms and reached 11,000 views on YouTube during its first 12 hours. The proposal sought to expand its presence in Latin music through a collaboration.[15]
Musical style
Corona's music is characterized by its oppositional nature, denouncing police violence, political corruption, and street life in Santa Cruz. It also refers to marijuana use.[4]
