Duki has transformed Argentine trap music and is now headed to the U.S. for the first time on his Ameri World Tour. The singer discusses his creative process behind his latest album, Ameri, his recent hit “Barro,” his decision not to sign with a major label and more!
Leila Cobo:Duki, welcome to Billboard! Well, there are many things going on, but let’s talk about the most important thing for me. In 2025, you have your first big tour in the U.S.
Duki:Exactly.
Are you nervous, excited, both? Do you feel like doing it?
Last year, we had a very nice first tour. I had the chance maybe of going from gigantic stadiums to smaller places, and reconnect with my audience and know them as well because many people had never seen me or it was the first time for them to meet me. And well, this second tour …
Arenas.
Yes, arenas, and I am a bit more nervous. I have to be up to the task. I am super excited, and well, as you know, I come from rap and trap, and being able to sound here and having shows here, where everything happened and was born, is a dream come true.
Now, I saw you in Buenos Aires, playing at River Plate Stadium for 75,000 people, and with a very impressive and nice staging. You also had many friends on stage. You are used to doing these big things. Now, you go to arenas with a capacity for 15,000 people, so do you bring the same idea, but a little bit reduced? Or do you bring the same staging? Are you always thinking big no matter where you are?
Mm…
I don’t know if I am clear.

‘Mufasa’ is coming to theaters on December 20th, and we had the opportunity to sit down with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Seth Rogan, Barry Jenkins, and Billy Eichner ahead of the release to get the inside scoop on what it was like to create the soundtrack for the film, work with Blue Ivy, and more!
Tetris Kelly:
Hey, it’s Tetris with Billboard News here at San Diego Safari Park at Press Day for ‘Mufasa.’ I’m talking to the cast and creators about the roaring prequel. This was director Barry Jenkins, first time with a musical, and he linked up with Disney favorite, Lin Manuel Miranda.
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Barry’s a musical storyteller. I mean, you feel the music in ‘Beale Street.’ You feel it in ‘Moonlight.’ So his notes always made my songs better. He was very clear about what he wanted. And so I signed on because I knew I’d learn a lot from him.
Tetris Kelly:
And of course, you’re so you know, known in the Broadway world. And now, of course, Disney with ‘Moana,’ ‘Encanto.’ So do you approach the Disney music differently than, say, Broadway? How do you change?
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
I think the only difference is, and someone pointed this out to me I didn’t even realize it, all my stage musicals take place in New York. So Disney’s kind of my passport, you know, with Moana, I got to go to, you know, learn about the beautiful Pacific Island culture. With ‘Encanto,’ I got to go down to Colombia, learn all these different music forms that are down there. And then with this, you know, we got, I got to work with the great Lebo M on his incredible choral harmonies and his voice being, you know, really present in the music and and play with these incredible African rhythms.
