Of all your hits, which one is your favorite? MALUMA: "Wow, this is a difficult one. In my concert shows I have many new, good songs that I started incorporating all of a sudden. As I said before, 'Vente Pa'Ca' and 'Chantaje' are top. I think 'Chantaje' with Shakira is the one I love the most for the time being." You mentioned Shakira, how was your experience while recording "Chantaje"? And would you classify it in the salsa music genre? MALUMA: "It was incredible. Shakira and I have a special feeling and love for salsa. We shared this love to the point that while being in Barcelona recording the video, we taped scenes dancing salsa. They were not part of the original version and this is precisely why we decided to record 'Chantaje' and give it a salsa twist flavor." Salsa is a Latin music genre, but in Columbia there are also vallenato and cumbia genres. Which one is your favorite? MALUMA: "I like vallenato better. But I have to confess that they are not my preference. I grew up listening to other types of music. The Colombian folklore has been there for a long time and it is not going to die. Nevertheless, there are vallenatos that I love like Diomedes Diaz, his songs will remain forever in time."
