Ricky Martin is getting an urban assist…
The 44-year-old Puerto Rican singer has joined voices with Maluma for the upcoming single “Vente Pa’Ca.”
Martin and the 22-year-old Colombian reggaeton singer traded verses poolside at the SLS Miami Beach during a music video shoot for the track, which will be released on September 23, along with the music video directed by Jessy Terrero.
Billboard has released exclusive photos of Martin and Maluma shooting scenes in multiple locations at the hotel, including the pool area, where they shared the spotlight with some 50 extras, men and women, flaunting toned abs.
“Vente Pa’Ca” is a party track set over a sultry reggaetón beat. It was written by producer Alexander Castillo Vásquez (aka A.C.) who works with Dr. Luke and has written for the likes of R. Kelly, Pitbull and Justin Bieber.
Lyrics for the Spanish-language song were penned by Mau y Ricky Montaner, sons of Ricardo Montaner.
An English version is also in the works.
It was Martin’s idea to invite Maluma into the mix for the Spanish track; the Colombian star is on multiple remixes and duets lately, including one of Carlos Vives and Shakira’s “La Bicicleta.”
