Spanish streamer Raúl Álvarez Genes, known as Auronplay, has trended in Colombia after revealing his fondness for the Grupo Niche song 'Del puente pa' allá'. This confession, shared during a live stream, has sparked excitement among Colombian fans for his link to Valle del Cauca culture. The discovery came through his barber, a Vallecaucano living in Spain.
Raúl Álvarez Genes, 37, globally known as Auronplay, has strengthened his bond with Colombia by praising Cali salsa. In a recent live stream, the content creator admitted that 'Del puente pa' allá', a Grupo Niche classic, is now among his top current favorites. 'It's awesome. I heard it and tried to memorize it until I learned it. I love it,' he stated, a remark that swiftly went viral on social media.
This disclosure fits a pattern. Auronplay has consistently shown affection for the country, incorporating paisa expressions, discussing Colombian soccer, and mimicking local slang in his broadcasts. The key influence was his barber from Valle del Cauca, who moved to Spain for better prospects. During haircuts, the barber tunes into the Cali station El Sol, introducing the streamer to regional rhythms and phrases. Auronplay has joked in multiple streams about enjoying these appointments, where he has come to identify salsa tracks and even mimic accents.
Colombian fans responded with overwhelming positivity. Remarks such as 'Auron is more Colombian than arepa', 'We love you Auron, come to Colombia', and 'A new salsero was born in Spain' flooded online platforms. This genuineness has established Auronplay as one of the most beloved foreign creators among Colombians, illustrating how national music crosses borders and builds digital cultural connections.
