Sonically, she flirts with dembow, merengue, dancehall and electronic music and has joined fellow artists such as El Alfa, Sean Paul, Flo Rida, Omar Montes and Oro Solido, to name a few.
“I've learned to dive into my own world and I've learned that even under pressure, I always find a way to do it my way and be a winner. This is what this album is,” he expressed in a press statement.
Manu Chao—the French-born Spanish musician known for the timeless reggae bop of “Me Gustas Tu” (2001)—also delivered a new album, his first in 17 years, titled Viva Tu. The 13-track LP weaves nostalgic acoustic melodies with a rich palette of world languages and in true Manu Chao fashion is sung in French, Spanish, Portuguese and English.
