On โTeke Teke,โ Carlos Vives joins Black Eyed Peas and Play-N-Skillz. The song has all the ingredients for a summer smash.
Carlos Vives of Colombia is known internationally for his captivating songs that are difficult to forget. They released โTeke Teke,โ a song with all the makings of a Summer hit, in collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas and Latin rapper combo Play-N-Skillz.
Other collaborations, like as Shakiraโs iconic โLa Bicilceta,โ saw Vives earn popularity while staying true to his classic sound, which includes Colombian popular music, cumbia, vallenato, and some pop-rock beats. However, in โTeke Teke,โ from his new album Cumbiana II, he blends Latin rhythms with hip-hop rhymes and rap stances, which has never been done before.
The words, particularly the chorus, are straightforward. A tribute to Rihannaโs โWorkโ stands out among the โteke teke teke tekeโ repeated in a loop, and the song as a whole expresses pleasant vibrations and the desire to dance and celebrate.
โI like to watch you laugh, I like to see you bounce, like the moon that bathes the sea,โ the Colombian sings before being joined on the track by others.
The film and scenery recall the celebratory mood of Vivesโ hometown, Santa Marta. In other scenes, the artists are surrounded by an audience that performs a choreography created specifically for the song. The brilliant colors of the videoโs attire and environment, as well as the suggestive visuals, stand out.
