The Tyets
The Tyets, also known as Els Tiets (IPA: [əls tiˈɛts]), is a trap and reggaeton group. Originating from Mataró, their songs are primarily in Catalan. It has two members, Oriol Ramon and Xavier Coca.[1]
After gaining recognition with their debut EP, Trapetón (a portmanteau of "trap" and "reggaeton") in 2019,[2][3] and becoming known for their lyrical style avoiding the typical subjects of either genre,[4] their 2023 single "Coti x Coti" was a major hit in Spain.[5][6] With "Coti x Coti" going viral on TikTok[5] and being performed by the group at the Camp Nou on Saint George's Day,[7][8] The Tyets became the first Catalan-language group to achieve a million monthly streams on Spotify.[9]
They have been credited with helping to create the genre of trapetón, a form of Latin trap,[10] but with lyrics that do not reference "drugs and bitches".[4] "Coti x Coti" was inspired by watching sardanes in Mataró and feeling that young people should be more involved in the tradition, incorporating the style of music into the song.[11]
