Carnaval

About the Album

The release is accompanied by the upbeat “Carnaval,” the newest single featuring GRAMMY Award-winning merengue singer, Elvis Crespo. Crespo delivers a joyful and expressive performance as his voice sits at the center of a rhythmic whirlwind littered with brass stabs, coro vocals, and interlocking patterns in the rhythm section. Plena Libre’s enchanting groove and tight performance makes it impossible not to want to dance. When asked about this collaboration, Crespo shared his respect for Gary, his family, the institution that is Plena Libre, and what they represent for Puerto Rican culture, making him “incredibly proud to be a part of this project.”
