Fresh from a wildly successful period that included prominent roles in the series The Last of Us and the box office giant Superman, actress and singer Isabela Merced has returned to her musical roots. She is celebrating her Peruvian heritage with the release of the dynamic single “Apocalipsis (Salsa Version),” a smoldering reinvention of her original song. This incredible Latin anthem was produced by the highly acclaimed Grammy and Latin Grammy winner Tony Succar. Originally written and produced by Merced herself alongside her brother, Gyovanni Moner, back in 2020, “Apocalipsis” has been transformed into an explosive track that masterfully fuses salsa and pop music. Succar, known for his innovative style in Latin music, brings his signature energy and precision to the arrangement, successfully merging traditional salsa instrumentation with exciting contemporary flair.
Merced is enthusiastic about the new direction the song has taken, saying, “‘Apocalipsis’ has always been one of my most passionate songs, and hearing it come alive in salsa feels like it’s been reborn. Tony brought this explosive energy and authenticity that made me fall in love with the song all over again. It’s our love letter to Peru, to salsa, and to the joy of making music that moves your soul and your body.” The song was recorded between Miami and Los Angeles, and it stands as a celebration of culture, rhythm, and identity, uniting two coasts and two generations of Peruvian artistic talent. Succar’s world class production elevates the track, creating a high voltage showcase of Latin artistry that is available everywhere now.
