Powered by a riveting, dance-ready beat, 'Khe Calor' generated more than 80% of the vote, beating out other new releases last week including Reik and Xavi's collaboration 'La del Primer Puesto,' Debi Nova's new album Todo Puede Convertirse en Canción and Bad Gyal and Ozuna's 'La Última Noche.' Bad Bunny's surprise track, 'Alambre Púa' came in second place in the poll.
Taking inspiration from the 90s banger 'Toma Que Toma,' DANNA explained in a press released how her take on the song came about. 'I was at one of my favorite clubs in Mexico City, having an incredible night. The DJ was mixing several songs with a 'hot' vibe, and it was really warm in the venue,' she said. 'Suddenly, 'Toma que toma' started playing, and the vision immediately came to me. I remembered it's one of my all-time favorite songs and that I used to dance to it a lot as a kid. So, I recorded a voice note — and months later, in the studio, I remembered that voice note and that's how 'Khe Calor' came to life.'
