Written by Keityn (“Tusa,” “TQG” and more) and the featured artist, “+57” was produced by Latin Grammy winning producer Ovy On The Drums.  The song is described a “an invitation to let loose and dance the night away” and captures the essence of Medellin-style reggeaton.  

In the accompanying music video, the heavy-hitting lineup takes viewers behind the scenes of a studio session. The Medellin-born singers offer a candid glimpse into the recording of “+57” as they dance, sing and bring the collaboration to life. 

Stellar Lineup

The single drops as the Colombian music scene continues to grow and Medellin’s reputation as the epicenter of Latin American music consolidates. It also follows up a successful streak of hits from the featured artists. Karol G, for example, celebrates her sixteenth week at #1 on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart with the summer anthem “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.” She’s also top-nominated woman for the 25th annual Latin Grammy.

On the other hand, “+57” also features 18-year-old promising talent DFZM, who solidifies his status as Colombia’s new big export with his participation in this all-star collaboration.
