Salsa vibes and nostalgia: Christian Alicea and Maffio remake an Elvis classic

In a vibrant musical collaboration, Christian Alicea and renowned Latin hitmaker Maffio have joined forces to bring forth “Bailame Con Actitud” – a vibrant salsa twist on the iconic Elvis Presley track “Blue Suede Shoes.” The outcome is not just a catchy tune, but a bridge that seamlessly connects the past and present through the language of music.

The project was sparked when producer Maffio conceptualized the idea of reviving the 1950s classic through the lens of salsa. To bring this vision to life, he handpicked Christian Alicea as its performer. What emerged from the union is an experience that allows those encountering the song for the first time to indulge in a legendary hit, and for those who remember the original, it’s a nostalgia-laden journey that pays homage to the King of Rock and Roll while embarking on a daring exploration of genre boundaries.

“Bailame con Actitud” can now be downloaded from most streaming platforms and purchased on Amazon by following this link. It has also been added to the VidaSalsera.com playlist on Spotify, which you can find on the right margin or at the bottom of this page.
