Nelly Kim Furtado Neto is the first name of the Canadian singer who in the early 2000s began to be recognized throughout the world thanks to her album Whoa, Nelly!
That album was an international success and there were specifically three songs: I’m like a Bird, Turn Off the Light and …On The Radio (Remember The Days) those that were number one in several countries. Nelly Furtado earned four Grammy nominations in 2002 and won in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category.
Nelly Furtado is quite well known in Latin America thanks to her duo Photography with Juanes, which was recorded in 2002 and became a success throughout the continent.
This return of Nelly is precisely marked by a new collaboration with Juanes which was released at the end of March this year, the song Gala and Dalí that united both artists again after two decades.
That song was produced in collaboration with Andrés Torres, Mauricio Rengifo and Sebastian Krys, and inspired by the love shared by Salvador & Gala Dalí and talks about a love that prevails and that is always in the mind.
