Why Benny Blanco, Mora, and Ovy On The Drums’ “Ay Bendito” Is Worth a Listen

If you’ve been keeping up with music drops lately, you’ve probably noticed benny blanco’s Spanish-language album, Hermoso, making the rounds. While the super-producer is mostly known for massive English pop crossovers, this project finds him diving headfirst into Latin urban sounds.

Out of the whole tracklist, “Ay Bendito”—featuring Puerto Rican hitmaker Mora and elite Colombian producer Ovy On The Drums—is easily one of the standout cuts.

Here is a quick look at why this song works so well and why it deserves a spot on your rotation.

The Dynamic Behind the Collaboration

Benny Blanco has a knack for bringing unexpected creative forces together, and “Ay Bendito” is a prime example. Instead of just slapping a beat together, he teamed up with two heavy hitters who know the Latin urban scene inside and out:

• Mora: Bringing his signature atmospheric, emotional delivery, Mora handles the vocals with that smooth, laid-back cadence he’s famous for.

• Ovy On The Drums: As the mastermind behind some of the biggest rhythms in modern Latin music, Ovy makes sure the percussion hits just right without overpowering the vibe.

Combined with production touches from Cashmere Cat, the track balances polished, detail-oriented pop production with a heavy, infectious groove.

What Does It Sound Like?

Clocking in at under three minutes, “Ay Bendito” gets straight to the point without overstaying its welcome. Driven by lines like “Hace rato que esa piel me llama,” it’s a sultry, mid-tempo track.

What really elevates it from a standard radio track is the use of organic instrumentation. You get subtle guitar work from Dylan Day and even some slick trombone touches from Joey Calderon, which give the electronic backbone a surprisingly warm, organic feel. It’s the kind of track that works just as well for a late-night drive as it does for a chilled-out weekend hangout.

Where to Find It

“Ay Bendito” sits comfortably as track number 6 on Hermoso. You can stream it right now on Spotify and Apple Music, or check out the official lyric video on YouTube if you want to catch all the production details and sing along.
