MIAMI, Florida (August 21, 2020). Global Latin music idol MALUMA just surprised his fans with the release of his fifth album, entitled PAPI JUANCHO. The young artist who had disappeared from social media all week, re-appeared yesterday in an Instagram live, with the special announcement that he would release his latest production at midnight. The news sparked euphoria among his fans and spread like wildfire among his followers which surpass 100 million on his social media (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter). PAPI JUANCHO is now available on all digital platforms – to stream and/or download click HERE. PAPI JUANCHO is composed of 22 songs created while quarantined in Medellin, Colombia and Miami, Florida. It’s the result of many years of hard work and the evolution of Maluma’s alter ego; “Papi Juancho” is the “Dirty Boy” (from his second album Pretty Boy Dirty Boy) all grown up.  “This album is very special, it represents my essence, what I grew up with, the music I enjoy with my friends and my personal taste in reggaeton music. That’s why I collab with artists that have inspired me. It’s made with lots of love make my fans happy and also to make myself happy. I want people to really enjoy and have a great time with this music, that’s the essence of Papi Juancho,” the artist expressed. “Its a very complete and detailed album. For example, the track ‘Medallo City’ is a trap mixed with salsa, a genre I hadn’t experimented with in my music, and all of what it says in the lyrics, is slang we use in Medellin, specifically in Envigado, where I grew up. I want to show my culture and I want people to see where I am from, I’m from Medallo City,” he added. Produced by the Rude Boyz (Kevin ADG y Chan “El Genio”), who have worked with Maluma since his first album, PAPI JUANCHO’s 22 tracks were written by Maluma alongside Edgar Barrera, Kevin ADG, Chan “El Genio”, Miky La Sensa, Vicente Barco, Juan Camilo Vargas, among others. It includes unexpected collabs with hard core old school and new school Reggaetón artists: Darell, Jory Boy, Justin Quiles, Lenny Tavarez, Myke Towers, Ñejo & Dalmata, Ñengo Flow, Randy, Yandel, Yomo y Zion. Along with the album, Maluma has also released the video of “Parce” ft. Lenny Tavarez and Justin Quiles. To watch it click HERE. PAPI JUANCHO Track listing: 1. Medallo City 2.

CARLOS VIVES PRESENTS ON THE GRAMMY MUSEUM’S DIGITAL MUSEUM EL MUNDO PERDIDO DE CUMBIANA, THE DOCUMENTARY WHICH REVEALS THE MUSICAL HISTORY BEHIND HIS NEW ALBUM CUMBIANA

In This Documentary, Vives Invites Us To Learn About The History Of The Amphibian Universe To Understand Why Cumbia Is The Most Authentic Expression Of The Colombian Culture That Has Expanded Internationally

MIAMI (August 21, 2020) – Carlos Vives premieres on the GRAMMY Museum’s digital museum his documentary, El Mundo Perdido de Cumbiana(The Lost World of Cumbiana), which reveals the musical history behind his 14th album today at 1 P.M. PT via grammymuseum.org/cumbiana. Carlos Vives will also attend an exclusive conversation with Felix Contreras from NPR’s Alt.Latino to discuss the documentary immediately following the screening. Cumbiana was directed by Carlos Felipe Montoya and produced by Isabel Cristina Vasquez from Mestiza Films.
 
During the last few years, Vives has been investigating the origin of Cumbia and has done extensive research to find the roots of the genre and has involved a unique mix of instruments, sounds and melodies to create the music for his new album Cumbiana.
 
An album of 10 songs inspired by daily life and the ancestral spirits of a region on the north coast of Colombia, the place of origin of Cumbia and where amphibian culture predominates. This album is a work with the power to send a message to the general public, and this documentary presents its creation showing the process through each song.
 
Carlos Vives‘ musical exploration takes him back to the origin to understand that Vallenato himself is a son of Cumbia and create once again a biocultural landmark that can transform vision of Colombia against its own history. Cumbiana will put the world to think about the amphibian territory and the vast region that is waiting to be reinterpreted to find an authentic treasure of Colombian culture.
 
Through the documentary we see the majesty of the Magdalena River ecosystem and its swamps, but also the environmental challenges it faces and that cannot be overcome for good until its biocultural importance is understood; something to which the album and this documentary can contribute enormously.
 
At the same time, we will get to know first-hand the process of creating the image and the concept of the album, as well as each of the songs that make up the new work by Carlos Vives through an immersion in the Gaira Música Local studio, which also includes the voices and collaborations of artists such as Jessie Reyez, Alejandro Sanz, Ziggy Marley, Elkin Robinson and Rubén Blades.
