The story behind
The song *Algo Tú* is presented as a vibrant fusion that intertwines Latin pop with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and traditional Colombian elements. The gaita, an emblematic instrument from the Colombian Caribbean coast, is incorporated as a nod to the shared roots of the artists, Shakira and Beéle, both originally from Barranquilla. The lyrics evoke Colombian landscapes, mentioning the coast of Tayrona National Natural Park and the Magdalena River, which flows into the Caribbean Sea, near their hometown. It also references the vallenato composer Rafael Escalona, situating an imaginary house next to his, and alludes to the cheerful and captivating rhythms characteristic of coastal genres like vallenato. The song's production is handled by Alexander "A.C." Castillo, Flambo, Shakira, and Beéle, and it was written by Shakira, Keityn, Beéle, Súper Dakis, Flambo, and Alexander "A.C." Castillo.
