La Paciencia—producer behind Bad Bunny’s biggest hits—has officially been named Latin Producer of the Year by Billboard. But here’s the twist: his favorite track isn’t “DTmF” or “Baile Inolvidable.” It’s ‘Perfumito Nuevo,’ a surprise collaboration with RaiNao that proves his artistry thrives in unexpected places.
Puerto Rican producer Roberto Rosado, better known in music circles as La Paciencia, has not only redefined Latin pop production—he’s now been crowned No. 1 Latin Producer of the Year by Billboard. The honor follows a historic year where he co-produced 18 of Bad Bunny’s songs to land on the Hot Latin Songs chart—with 13 weeks at #1. That’s not just dominance—it’s seismic cultural impact.
His fingerprints are all over Bad Bunny’s landmark album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which simultaneously ruled the Billboard 200 and Top Latin Albums charts. Critics called it revolutionary; Grammy voters agreed, awarding it Album of the Year at the Latin Grammys—an achievement that cemented Latin music’s place in global pop culture.
But La Paciencia doesn’t view himself as a solo genius. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, he credits collaborators like Tainy, MAG, Big Jay, Irizarry, and Anthony for making the project resonate beyond its surface gloss. “I was part of the album, but there are also great producers on the album,” he said. “A lot of people who contributed so much to the album and made it special.”
Yet beneath the accolades lies something more intimate: La Paciencia’s creative ethos. He’s obsessed with texture—not just melody, but how emotion flows through each note. “I really like RaiNao; I love her music and what she does,” he told Billboard. “When the opportunity came to work with both artists, Benito and her, I was hyped.” That’s why ‘Perfumito Nuevo’—a lush, romantic track featuring RaiNao—is his personal favorite among the album’s most celebrated tracks.
The song itself feels like a revelation. A gentle synth wash meets RaiNao’s sultry vocals over Bad Bunny’s smooth delivery, creating a moment that transcends genre. “This might sound random because the album has tracks like ‘DTmF,’ ‘Baile Inolvidable,’ and ‘La Mudanza,’ which are all super beautiful,” La Paciencia admitted. “But my favorite track is ‘Perfumito Nuevo.’”
It’s a statement about his craft—and his heart. While many producers chase commercial success, La Paciencia builds moments meant to linger. “I’m driven by connecting emotionally with listeners,” he said. Whether someone’s blasting it in their car or streaming it late at night, he wants them to feel seen.
His journey with Bad Bunny began during the artist’s early SoundCloud days. Tracks like “Diles” and “Me Acostumbré” laid the foundation for Bad Bunny’s global rise. Now, they’re rewriting history together. “We’ve evolved together,” La Paciencia noted. “And we’re still experimenting, blurring genres, pushing boundaries.”
Though he’s currently focused on deepening collaborations with Bad Bunny, he admits he’s not looking outside their orbit. “Right now, [he] can’t see [himself] working with anyone else,” he told Billboard. That’s not arrogance—it’s commitment. He’s building a legacy rooted in one of Latin music’s most potent partnerships.
For fans, this news isn’t just another industry award. It’s proof that behind every hit lie countless hours spent refining sonic landscapes. And La Paciencia’s choice of ‘Perfumito Nuevo’ as his favorite? That’s the real victory—the quiet magic of a producer who knows how to turn vulnerability into a worldwide anthem.
Stay tuned for our next breakdown on Bad Bunny’s upcoming tour dates and whether La Paciencia will be joining him onstage—or if he’ll stay behind the boards crafting the next masterpiece.
