  "account": "Maluma is ecstatic about his new collaboration with Beyoncé, a bilingual track called \"Cuerpo (Tumbao)\" that samples Celia Cruz's iconic \"La Negra Tiene Tumbao.\" The song is part of Beyoncé's deluxe version of her album B’Day, released on her 45th birthday. Maluma expressed his delight on Instagram, looking shocked while showing the phone displaying the song. This isn't the first time Maluma has teamed up with an Anglo-speaking artist, nor is it Beyoncé's first Latin collaboration. Their earlier joint works include songs with Jason Derulo, Madonna, The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, and Black Eyed Peas. Beyoncé has also worked with Shakira and rapper Willy William, while including posthumous duets with Selena Quintanilla in her new album. Maluma's latest album, Loco X Volver, was released on May 15. The artist mentioned in a recent Univision interview that his focus has shifted from chasing the American dream to embracing his Colombian roots. Nonetheless, a birthday collaboration with Beyoncé and a tribute to Celia Cruz seem like a dream come true. Maluma will be performing at the upcoming Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 in Miami Beach, from October 19 to 22.",
