‘Parcera’ is a testament to Gordo and Maluma’s unwavering passion for pushing musical boundaries and bringing cultures together. Their collaboration is set to leave a lasting impact on the global music scene with so much buzz pre-release the track is well on its way to becoming a summer smash hit.

About Gordo
Diamante Anthony Blackmon has already helped to define a global musical movement. But now he’s doing it again: Gordo is a new house music alias from the artist previously known as Carnage. His quest for this new sound has led to releases such as ‘KTM’, which became an instant Top 10 hit on the Beatport Main Chart, TARAKA, which was named after his own event series, the techno-infused speaker-rattling ‘Leaving Earth’ with KAS:ST, the widely acclaimed ‘RIZZLA’, and house anthem ‘R U 4REAL’.
His releases ‘Hombres y Mujeres’ alongside Colombian superstar FEID and ‘El Mas Chingon’ with Dominican heavyweight El Alfa as well as his numerous sold out gigs in Latin America see Gordo’s return to his Hispanic roots. The Nicaraguan-American DJ/producer honors his heritage beyond giving back with beats though, as he’s fully committed to helping build schools and education centers in Nicaragua as well as Guatemala, where he was raised, with the latest opening its doors in February 2023 in Guatemala’s Nuevo Eden.
Already having established his name among dance music enthusiasts, Diamanté solidified his name as Gordo as he broke ground with 6 production on Drake’s latest dance-infused album ‘Honestly Nevermind’, got crowned #1 producer on Billboard’s Hot 100 producers and #1 Hispanic DJ by DJ Mag, and released his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. From here it is all about making the music he wants to. No going back.
