Miami, FL (October 4, 2019) – Following the resounding success of his single “Cristina” in several international countries: Spain (Double Platinum Certification), US Latin (Gold), Peru (Gold), the renowned singer, composer and producer MAFFIO today releases “CELEBRATION”, a song that carries a message of hope and invites you to celebrate life enjoying every moment to the fullest.
The single, in collaboration with Akon, Farruko and Ky-Mani Marley, was born out of a first-hand experience that affected the life of Maffio and his family a few years ago: the passing of his sister. With this release the artist wants to pay his respect to her life and the joyful moments they spent together.
When the producer introduced the instruments to Akon and Farruko, they immediately began to write. They both recorded that same day, following Ky-Mani Marley a month later.
“I needed all three of them because it felt like an incredible combination of talents,” said Maffio, who said the chorus is like listening to his sister sing and sending a message of hope.
“I understood that the people who leave us are still with us, therefore we must let them go to their eternal life in peace and that the best way to honor them is to celebrate and live the life we have,” the artist explained.
Under that idea, the concept of the video was created, which revolves around the carnation (his sister’s favorite flower) and how it brings happiness to the protagonists of the video, including his daughter, Marley.
The music video was filmed in the month of June at Fairchild Botanical Park in Pinecrest, Florida and Downtown Miami, FL and both Javier Romero and Maffio himself were responsible for its direction. It also counts with the participation of of Jencarlos Canela, Jorge Bernal, Gabriela Vergara and Marko.
Today, Maffio celebrates his existence, his family, his friends and creating music with the goal of conveying a message of happiness to the world.
