DPA MICS DELIVER PRISTINE SOUND FOR BAD BUNNYCarlitos Lopez conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra Project during Bad Bunny’s tour, which deployed DPA microphones on stage.Fans of Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny can't fail to have noticed the impeccable work of producer Carlitos Lopez. The man born Carlos Fernando Lopez is a GRAMMY®- and Latin GRAMMY-winning producer, composer and conductor, who specializes in bridging the worlds of classical and popular music. Lopez co-produced Bad Bunny’s 2023 hit single “Nadie Sabe,” bringing a full orchestral accompaniment to the artist’s already-electrifying music. That symbiosis, the lush arrangements sitting comfortably alongside the contemporary edge, has been revelatory. Lopez recently toured with Bad Bunny across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra Project (POP), as it performed Bad Bunny’s songs. As a welcome bonus feature, POP also showcased a collection of Lopez’s original music compositions at the start of the shows.“Benito (Bad Bunny) loves all styles of music and decided to open his album with a classical sound,” says Lopez. “So, I wrote orchestral music for him to use with ‘Nadie Sabe’ and recorded with a full orchestra in Prague. Then, from that collaboration and while producing that song, Benito decided he wanted to take a full orchestra on tour and asked me to conduct. He also requested new orchestral pieces to open the show, which I turned around in just a few days.”A statement reveals that Lopez is, "a native of Colombia [who] has been inspired by music his entire life, following in the footsteps of his opera singer grandfather, who ignited the passion. Whether in the studio or on the stage, Lopez continually strives to ensure his productions are top-of-class and insists on utilizing only the best gear to support his work. Included among Lopez’s preferred solutions is DPA Microphones, which he deployed for both his studio and live orchestral projects with Bad Bunny."“We had a team of 12 engineers working on the tour, and from the very start I asked to have input on the microphones we would use,” says Lopez. “I had used a selection of DPA mics in the studio, when we recorded the orchestra, and I knew that I wanted to deliver the same sound to live audiences. The orchestra we recorded in the studio was much larger than the one we used on tour because the stage was smaller, so the mics played an important role in ensuring we didn’t lose the perception of a big ensemble.”For more about DPA Microphones, visit dpamicrophones.com.For more about Carlitos Lopez, visit carlitosmusic.com.The post DPA MICS DELIVER PRISTINE SOUND FOR BAD BUNNY first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.
