Earlier this month, Drake‘s #InMyFeelingsChallenge inspired a Latin dance craze called the #LaChonaChallenge. The new version finds people dancing along to Los Tucanes de Tijuana’s iconic 1995 hit, “La Chona.”

With the #LaChonaChallenge going viral, Las Vegas’ Shelco Garcia & Teenwolf and DJcity’s Big Syphe have dropped a Puro Pari remix of the track. Their rework rearranges the original vocals and instrumental while adding a hard-hitting drop.

Launched in January 2017, Puro Pari is a series of exclusive Latin-inspired remixes, bootlegs, and edits.

Preview their remix below and download it on DJcity.
