Marco Romero Releases "Muévete" for Peru's Fiestas Patrias

The festejo single uses a Plaza Matriz video to promote national unity by foregrounding Callao Monumental's heritage.

Overview

  • Marco Romero released 'Muévete' on streaming platforms and premiered the official videoclip on YouTube Thursday, marking his first new original material in more than a year.
  • Romero frames the song as a festejo that celebrates movement and invites Peruvians to overcome social and geographic differences through music and dance.
  • The videoclip was filmed in Plaza Matriz in the Callao Monumental and directed by Coco Bravo to highlight the port district's architecture, history and street life.
  • Performers Qorianka, Cochicho and Jair Santa Cruz appear in the production to emphasize local participation and cultural diversity.
  • Because festejo is an Afro-Peruvian rhythm closely tied to national identity, the timed release is likely to boost Fiestas Patrias programming and draw wider attention to Callao Monumental as a cultural landmark.
