Monday Stir

-For the launch of his new single, “Todo O Nada,” reggaeton singer Lunay teamed up with Toyota to create the song’s official music video featuring the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition. In a twist, fans can assume the role of one of the video’s leading characters through face-swapping technology.

Lunay fans can experience their own version of the video game-inspired music video by following Toyota’s social media channels (@ToyotaLatino) or by visiting a mobile site and place their face in the shareable videos in a campaign from agency Conill. Everyone who registers is entered for a chance to be part of an exclusive virtual meet and greet with Lunay later this year.
