Singer, performer, and advocate for Afro-Latinas and diversity, Amara La Negra, released her latest single "Andale."
After breaking out on VH-1’s primetime hit show “Love & Hip Hop: Miami,” the Latin pop singer is ready to free your mind and is redefining what it means to be Latinx. The Dominican-American 29-year-old artists also partnered with Triller, a groundbreaking fun and unique social platform where users can create and share their own music video creations.
Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Kevin Khao Cates, the song is a mix of Hip-Hop and Spanish. "It's a rap and hip-hop song because I’ve been inspired by Hip-Hop culture and their music," said the artist. "I got out of my comfort zone. It’s my alter ego, it’s completely different from anything anyone has heard from me before - I’m rapping.”
Amara La Negra, alongside Legendary artist Pitbull and DJ City will also be launching Boost Mobile’s “Step Up To The Mic,” which will give aspiring musicians, singers, songwriters, and performers a chance to step up and achieve their dreams by giving them an opportunity to showcase their talent, be it slam poetry, rap, song, instrumental, etc. through a digital-first, elimination-style contest.
