DESPACITO SINGERS VETO VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT USING SONG FOR CAMPAIGN

-

There’s a new take on the hit Latin pop song Despacito. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro premiered a remix of the song by Puerto Rican duo Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee Sunday, transformi­ng the record-setting single about a slow, romantic seduction into a campaign jingle. “For the unity and peace of our country,” the remix begins. “The constituen­t assembly moves forward.” Fonsi and Daddy Yankee took to social media on Monday to veto the new spin on their song. “My music is for everyone to listen to and enjoy, not to be used as propaganda that intends to manipulate the will of a people who are screaming for their liberty and a better future,” Fonsi tweeted.
