About the song ‘Pokito’
‘Pokito’ mixes Punjabi and Spanish and brings two different music styles together. Diljit’s Punjabi vocals and Bhangra touches meet Daddy Yankee’s trademark reggaeton beats. The track repeats the Spanish line ‘Poquito a poquito’, which means ‘little by little’.Stillz has directed the music video, which uses colourful visuals to celebrate both cultures, with nods to Punjabi traditions and Latin street culture. The song is part of Daddy Yankee’s 15-track album ‘La Postal’.

Diljit will perform in Indore on November 15 as part of his Aura India Tour. He will then head to Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Lucknow before wrapping up the India leg in Chandigarh on December 6. He is also due to return to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2027.
