Puerto Rico
The title itself demonstrates Puerto Rican Spanish's signature dropping of the intervocalic 'd' ('callada' becomes 'callaíta'), and the lyrics are full of adjectives that have shifted from literal to social meanings (atrevida, prendío'). This phonetic softening combined with beach-party vocabulary captures the relaxed, melodic flow of island Spanish.
