About their collaboration 'Chula', he said, “Thankfully the collaboration happened and the song is very good.”
“Mexican music has grown so much,” Johnny Kaz added. “Yes, some collaborations that you might not have imagined a few years ago with artists who want to make Mexican music are happening today. It shows that music breaks many barriers, many boundaries. I hope these partnerships will continue and we will see what the future holds.”
