Despite being one of the greatest exponents of regional Mexican music at an international level, Carín León does not hesitate when it comes to exploring and experimenting with other musical styles. That is why he has published The flip-flopa single that moves through Caribbean and tropical sounds in the company of Chimbala and Carlos Vives.
Both the Dominican and the Colombian contribute great versatility thanks to two genres of which they are ambassadors: dembow and vallenato, respectively. This, added to the great talent of the Mexican, results in a powerful collaboration and one of the Latin unions of the summer. “A meeting for history,” said Léon himself.
The song, composed by this trio together with Santiago de Jesus, Geraldy Reyez Volquez and Bryan Peguero (B-One)is accompanied by a music video that ntransports you to a party in the middle of the desert. Filmed in Miami and directed by Jessy Terrero, the three artists invite us to dance. And boy do they succeed! With this rhythm, it is impossible to keep your feet glued to the ground.

The flip-flop (or flip-flop), Latin cultural symbol is the common thread of this song that speaks of a story of overcoming lovesickness. There is no time for resentment here, but rather to enjoy life in the company of our family and friends.
“How good Latin women are!” Carín himself said a few days ago while promoting the single, which refers to “northern and coastal women” in its verses.
“How we men suffer when we are treated like a flip-flop,” said Carlos Vives on this subject. He added that filming this video clip “was like being in a cyclorama of a cowboy movie, with Carin Eastwood and Chimbala Wayne.”
After this release and touring the United States, Carín León will continue presenting Crooked Mouth Vol. 1 through Europe and visiting, among other countries, England, France, the Netherlands and Spain, where will perform at the Wizink Center in Madrid on October 31st.
