What's Happening?
Grammy-nominated artist Omar Apollo has collaborated with the alt-pop trio Latin Mafia to release a new Spanish-language cumbia single titled 'Hecho Para Ti' ('Made For You'). The single is co-produced by Tyler Spry, known for his work with Bad Bunny, and features a music video directed by Aidan Cullen and executive produced by Stillz.
