Beéle & Elvis Crespo Unite for Festive New Single “La Patadita,” Out Now

Last night, multi-platinum Colombian star Beéle surprised fans with the release of “La Patadita,” a high-energy collaboration with Latin music legend Elvis Crespo. The feel-good anthem is officially out now on all digital platforms via 5020 Records, alongside its vibrant music video, and it arrives just in time to soundtrack the holiday season.

Blending Beéle’s modern, global Latin sound with Crespo’s unmistakable merengue-driven energy, “La Patadita” is built for celebration, movement, and togetherness. It’s a joyful reminder of music’s power to unite generations, cultures, and dance floors.

A Celebration of Culture, Rhythm & Good Fortune

“La Patadita” leans into festive energy with infectious rhythms and playful charisma. The track centers on themes of celebration, unity, and prosperity, inspired by a beloved cultural symbol known throughout Colombia: la patadita de la buena suerte, a gesture of good luck and success.

Despite coming from different generations of Latin music, Beéle and Elvis Crespo found instant creative chemistry. The result is a song that feels timeless yet fresh, rooted in tradition while speaking directly to today’s global Latin audience.

Music Video Pays Tribute to a Colombian TV Icon

Filmed in Bogotá, the official music video serves as a nostalgic homage to El Show de las Estrellas, one of Colombia’s most iconic television programs, created by legendary host Jorge Barón.

For decades, the show brought families together across the country and popularized the symbolic patadita de la buena suerte, which Barón famously offered to artists as a sign of prosperity.

Directed by Saumeth, the video delivers a playful modern reinterpretation titled El Show de la Coletera, featuring a special appearance by Jorge Barón himself. The visual blends classic Colombian pop culture with a contemporary aesthetic, reflecting both Beéle’s youthful energy and Crespo’s legendary status.

Elvis Crespo on Collaborating With Beéle

Elvis Crespo shared insight into how the collaboration came together and why it resonated with him:

“I’ve known Beéle since before he signed with Luyan. I always knew he had incredible talent because the first time I saw him was when he performed with his guitar at just 15 or 16 years old. This collaboration was born in Bogotá earlier this year… I’m thrilled to collaborate with such a young and brilliant artist. It allows me to bring something fresh to my career and connect with new generations.”

Crespo’s presence on the track adds a powerful layer of legacy and authenticity, reinforcing his ability to evolve while staying true to his roots.
