MIAMI, FL. (November 6, 2026) – Amazon Music brings together music superstar Elvis Crespo, Dominican legend Fernando Villalona, and rising urban star Lomiiel, for the release of “Feliz Cumbé (Amazon Music Original)”, a new rendition of the beloved 1980s merengue classic. Made famous by Villalona, the holiday favorite returns with a fresh sound that brings together three generations of Caribbean talent, celebrating the rhythms, traditions and festive spirit that unite Latin families during the holiday season. The track is available exclusively on Amazon Music.
Blending Elvis Crespo’s signature upbeat rhythms, blazing brass, and unmistakable vocal swagger with the legacy of Fernando Villalona and the contemporary sound of Lomiiel, the new Amazon Music Original gives “Feliz Cumbé” a fresh interpretation while honoring its merengue roots. The collaboration bridges generations through a song that captures the essence of Caribbean celebrations where music, dancing and family traditions come together.
