Maluma Teams Up with Kapla, Miky, Philip and Blessd on “L.N.E.M (GATA)”

Global Latin music idol MALUMA has released his new song and music video “L.N.E.M (GATA)” an acronym for “La Nueva en el Mapa” (“The New One on the Map”) a collab with four young Colombian urban music artists, Kapla, Miky, Philip, and Blessd.

Maluma had this to say:

It means a lot to me to be able to support a new generation of artists because when I started, I did not feel that support in Colombia and I don’t want them to go through that. It was other international artists and my loyal fans, who gave me that boost I needed to continue to thrive. I don’t want history to repeat itself, I want to see them shine, because there is a lot of talent in Colombia that deserve to be stars and fulfill their dreams, as much as I have been able to.

“LNEM (GATA)”, a song written among friends that talk about their experiences amidst the urban nightlife scene and all of its trappings, especially women. Maluma creates this song alongside Blessd, new talent with whom he collaborates on “Imposible” Remix, a song that has been in the top 50 of Spotify Colombia for 3 months. They are joined by Kapla and Miky, a new urban duo who individually have been in the industry for more than 10 years and are known for their important contribution to the genre as producers and songwriters. . . Miky La Sensa, has written with Maluma’s on songs like “El Perdedor”, “Felices Los Cuatro” and “Hawaii”; and Philip Ariaz, composer, artist and producer. “L.N.E.M (GATA)” was produced by the Rude Boyz who have worked with Maluma since the beginning of his career.

The music video was shot in Medellín, Colombia by directors Camilo Bourbon and Oscar Vásquez from renowned Colombian production company 36 Grados.
