Merced and Tony Succar Create a Vibrant Fusion
Building on her original “Apocalipsis” track from 2020, which she co-wrote and produced with her brother Gyovanni Moner, Merced’s latest version is a lively reinvention, blending salsa and pop in fresh, exciting ways.

Succar’s approach combines classic salsa instrumentation with bold, contemporary beats, further enhancing the song’s appeal.
Honoring Heritage and Connecting Generations
The inspiration for this version stems from a desire to celebrate culture, artistry, and connection. “Apocalipsis (Salsa Version)” was recorded between Miami and Los Angeles, bridging generations and talent within the Peruvian community. The collaboration between Merced and Succar is both a tribute to their shared heritage and a reflection of the evolving nature of Latin music.
“‘Apocalipsis’ has always been one of my most passionate songs, and hearing it come alive in salsa feels like it’s been reborn. Tony brought this explosive energy and authenticity that made me fall in love with the song all over again. It’s our love letter to Peru, to salsa, and to the joy of making music that moves your soul and your body.”
