In a one-of-a-kind musical moment, two of the most influential voices in global Latin music, Maluma and singer-songwriter Kany García join forces to release “1+1,” a vibrant romantic salsa that invites listeners to embrace love freely and without hesitation. Listen HERE.
“1+1” is more than a song; it’s a celebration of loving boldly and speaking from the heart. With a playful, daring lyric, the track sets up a seductive exchange leaving “guilt outside the room” to “solve the equation” of love and desire. Maluma’s unmistakable voice and signature charisma intertwine with Kany García’s emotional depth and lyrical honesty, creating a magnetic vocal chemistry that feels both natural and compelling.
The release marks a unique cultural bridge between Colombia and Puerto Rico, infused with authenticity and flavour, an ode to the richness and diversity of Latin music today.
Written and produced between Turks and Caicos and Miami by Maluma, Kany García, Rafael Arcaute, Ily Wonder, MadMusick, Jonathan Rivera, and Richi López, “1+1” delivers a fresh yet timeless sound.
The music video shot in Medellín and directed by Stillz, the influential Colombian-American creative director and photographer known for shaping the visual language of global artists perfectly complements the spirit of “1+1.” Built around the creation of a traditional bandeja paisa, the video embraces a fast, analogue energy filled with expressive gestures, textures, and rhythmic movement that mirror the song’s pulse.
From Kany García leaving a rural finca during golden hour to a near-folkloric farewell ritual led by Maluma, the visual narrative becomes a love letter to Colombian culture. The journey unfolds through everyday scenes and natural ingredients, farm life, transporting produce, the local market, the butcher shop culminating in Maluma’s kitchen, where the iconic dish is prepared with humour, pride, and passion.
The closing moment shows Kany enjoying a classic paisa breakfast while Maluma and his team prepare a traditional lunchbox symbolising the final equation: food made with love, shared with intention.
“1+1” is an anthem to genuine connection, pleasure, and romance lived joyfully and without complications. The release is poised to captivate audiences everywhere and “invites us to dive into a musical and visual experience full of flavour, passion, and authenticity,” says Maluma.
