On Monday, January 24, two-time GRAMMY-winning production duo Play-N-Skillz released a music video for their song, “Baila Así.” The collaboration includes three renowned Mexican female artists: Thalía, Becky G, and Chiquis.
The video was filmed in both New York City and Los Angeles, and was directed by Michael García and produced by Omar Reynoso for 305 Fills LLC. It puts the spotlight on Mexican culture with its red, white, and green theme, also including images of lowrider bicycles, catrinas, and even a convertible.
“Baila Así” mixes an innovative cumbia beat and catchy verses with the sax hook of Fito Olivares’ 1988 classic “La Gallina,” who also serves as co-musical producer with Play-N-Skillz. The single was initially released at the end of 2021 and returns this year with the visual fans have been waiting for from this star-studded line-up.
