Listen to ‘Besos’:
The track’s shift from ballad to salsa came from a desire to explore new musical dimensions while keeping the heart of the song intact.
Working with a collective of Grammy Award-winning musicians and renowned artists, this version of Besos infuses rich Latin instrumentation, capturing the authentic energy of salsa while giving it a fresh, modern twist.
The inspiration behind the salsa version was to breathe new life into the song while still preserving its emotional core. The story of love and longing, which resonated deeply with fans in its original ballad form, has now been transformed into an infectious rhythm that invites listeners to dance while still feeling the passion.
Collaborating with legendary musicians in the salsa and tropical genres allowed for a truly special fusion of sounds. Together, they created a track that honors both the romanticism of the ballad and the joyful energy of Latin dance music.
