Written by GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® winner Claudia Brant and Josh Cumbee, “Vuelvo” is a standout track from Bailar Deluxe, the expanded edition of Sheila E.’s GRAMMY®-winning salsa album Bailar. The deluxe release also features new collaborations, including a Latin reinterpretation of “The Glamorous Life” and “Mi Rumba y Tambor” with La India.
