CARLOS PEREZ – THE DIRECTOR BEHIND “DESPACITO,” THE MOST VIEWED VIDEO IN HISTORY WITH MORE THAN FOUR BILLION VIEWS – DIRECTED BOTH STARS IN THE SENSUAL VIDEO FILMED IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
Las Vegas, NV (November 18, 2017). – International artist Luis Fonsi was awarded tonight with 4 Latin GRAMMYs for his history-making single “Despacito” at the 18th Annual edition celebrated last night in Las Vegas, in the categories: “Record of the Year,” “Song of the year,” “Best Urban Fusion / Performance” and “Best Music Video Short Version.”
In addition to being recognized, Fonsi closed the award ceremony with one of the most celebrated and spectacular performances of the night, singing a one of a kind version of “Despacito” that traveled through four different musical styles, same that influenced the making of the song. Fonsi performed an acoustic section with Puerto Rican sounds with Cristian Nieves (the Cuatro player who recorded the original version of "Despacito"), a Cumbia set with Colombian group Bomba Estereo, a salsa duo with Puerto Rican artist Victor Manuelle and a dance remix with DJ Diplo.
After a year full of historic accomplishments, dominating the world's top charts for 11 consecutive months and breaking records in sales, streaming, and views on YouTube, Fonsi is ready to start a new cycle. Today marks the highly anticipated worldwide release of his brand new single and video titled "Échame La Culpa” (Blame Me) featuring the award-winning artist, songwriter, and actress Demi Lovato.
Fonsi who had the opportunity to share and record the song with Lovato in New York said: "Recording with Demi was a wonderful experience and what thrilled me the most was her desire to sing in Spanish and how perfectionist she was with the pronunciation of the lyrics.” "Musically speaking she is perfect, which made it the easiest vocal production I've ever done in my career."
Also, the two superstars premiered the cinematic, sizzling, and sexy music video for “Echame La Culpa” shot last month in Brooklyn by Elastic People’s Creative Director Carlos Perez.
Fonsi will start promoting “Échame La Culpa” as he continues his successful "Love and Dance World Tour" on November 19th and on, with concerts in Russia, Latvia, Serbia, Croatia, France, Germany and the Netherlands. To find out tour dates visit: www.luisfonsi.com.
