"I first heard this song at a club here in Mexico City. It was being mixed, and it just took me back—I had this vision and thought, ‘I have to sample this track.’ I mean, it’s incredible and so iconic, and I think it belongs to many generations. It was a hit back in the day, and having the chance to bring it into this new version feels amazing."

8.SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Danna, singer and actress:

"I love comedy. I think it’s something I’ve explored since I was very little, and it’s also a big part of my personality. I’m very quick-witted and I love that I’m always… we’re always laughing. Comedy is important to me, and being able to take that drama and turn it into something humorous is really fun. I think the actor in me will always show up in my music videos, and today we’re once again playing with that actor side of myself in this video."

9. Various of Danna during interview

10. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Danna, singer and actress:

"There’s a lot of music underway. I’m currently working on the songs as part of an entire universe. I’m working on the (upcoming) album and really enjoying the process, having a lot of fun. I think I’m at a point in my career where I’m putting a lot of effort, attention, love, and passion into everything I do."

11. Various of Danna during interview

12. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Danna, singer and actress:

"I think I closed a chapter in my life. I really needed it. The documentary helped me a lot—it’s where I’m honoring my life, my career, everything I’ve done, and each era of my music as well."

13. Danna speaking during interview

14. Danna during interview, UPSOUND (Spanish): "Each song is a world, a universe. That makes me really happy—and that’s all I can say for now."

STORYLINE:

Mexican singer and actress Danna puts her acting chops front and center in the video for her latest single, 'Khe Calor,' a fiery reimagining of a song that’s long been popular in Mexico and across Latin America.

Originally released in 1999 by Spanish artist Conchi Cortez, 'Toma que toma' has also been covered by acts like Los Ángeles Azules and Karen Paola. Danna’s version began with a spark of inspiration one night on the dance floor.

"I first heard this song at a club here in Mexico City. It was being mixed, and it just took me back—I had this vision and thought, ‘I have to sample this track,’" Danna told The Associated Press in an interview.

Though she was only a kindergartener when the original came out, Danna says the track stayed with her—and reviving it in her own style was a way to tap into that nostalgia while delivering a bold summer anthem.

The video was filmed on a ranch in central Mexico... [truncated]

8. Crowd watching as a crane lifts a dead humpback whale on a beach at night

STORYLINE:

A humpback whale was found dead on the shore of Rio de Janeiro in the early afternoon on Monday, drawing attention from beachgoers and prompting a response from local authorities.

The carcass was first spotted drifting close to Rio's west area beaches in the morning and reached São Conrado in the afternoon, carried by ocean currents.

Humpback whales are typically seen along the coast of Rio de Janeiro between June and November, with peak sightings usually from July to September.

Around 25,000 humpback whales make a 2,500-mile (4,000-kilometer) journey from feeding areas in Antarctica to northeast Brazil.

Most concentrate in the Abrolhos region, an area of coral reefs off the coast of Bahia and Espirito Santo states known for featuring the greatest marine biodiversity in the South Atlantic.

It’s beautiful how smooth it is. When I was in America, and when I told people about all the things I have to do here, just to get a restaurant to use my wines, they couldn’t believe it.”
