Fonseca officially presents“NUNCA ME FUÍ” a song alongside the poet of salsa, Rubén Blades
Fonseca presents “Nunca me fui”, his latest single alongside one of his lifelong musical and personal idols: the legendary Rubén Blades. Taking advantage of his visit to Panama—the birthplace of Blades—Fonseca officially releases the song from there. This track, as profound as it is poetic, becomes a heartfelt tribute to the place where we were born, the one we choose to live in, and to all those who have set out in search of new opportunities without forgetting their roots.
“Nunca me fui” is not just a song; it’s an act of love. Through a fusion of Latin American sounds that evoke nostalgia and hope, Fonseca and Blades celebrate identity, memory, and migration as essential parts of the human experience. The lyrics serve as a refuge for the millions of migrants around the world who carry their homeland in their hearts, even if life has taken them far away.
“This song was born from the heart, thinking of all those people who, even though they’re far from their homeland, have never truly left. Having Rubén Blades on this track is a dream come true for me. His voice, his story, and his commitment to social issues give this collaboration even deeper meaning,” said Fonseca.
Rubén Blades, a Latin music icon and historic voice for migrant communities, brings to the song the strength of his storytelling and the universality of his message. His participation not only elevates the musical project but also gives the message greater weight: no one ever truly leaves as long as they hold on to their culture, their memories, and their dignity.
This release marks the second preview of Fonseca’s upcoming album. The first single, “Venga lo que venga” featuring Rawayana, introduced a fresh and vibrant sound that has resonated on major international stages, including Bogotá’s Movistar Arena, where they performed the song live during the successful Tropicalia Tour. Fonseca also joined Rawayana at Coachella as a guest performer.
“Nunca me fui” is a song that unites generations, geographies, and emotions. An invitation to recognize the value of our roots and the transformative power of new beginnings.
