After being vetoed from a show on Univision, where he was not permitted to perform his latest single, Elvis Crespo proudly stands strong with his fresh song “Tatuaje” featuring Bachata Heightz.
It was a roller coaster weekend for both Crespo and the bachata group, who were expected to perform on Univision’s reality beauty pageant “Nuestra Belleza Latina” Sunday night.

The artists with Caribbean blood were invited to perform their newest and catchy jam “Tatuaje,” a song from Crespo’s 2015 studio album with the same title out Tues., March 3rd.
Both the Puerto Rican merengue star and the Dominican group were ecstatic with their showcase on the popular TV show, announcing the news to their followers.
But it seems that at last minute, their performance was cancelled, causing a commotion on social media thereafter.
For those who haven’t heard “Tatuaje,” the song is a sensual bachata with very explicit lyrics –which leads us to think this is the reason it was vetoed.
However, the show offered Crespo to perform another one of his singles, to which he refused, standing strong with his new track featuring Bachata Heightz.
“Tonight I will not participate in ‘Nuestra Belleza Latina.’ The legal division from Univision vetoed my record ‘Tatuaje,’” he announced in Spanish on Facebook. “For respect to my music and the artists who accompany me in this song, Bachata Heightz, I did not accept to sing another single in ‘Nuestra Belleza.’ Crespo then signed off by calling out the network’s double moral standard, “they veto my music but transmit high sexual content telenovelas,” he stated before sending out his apologies to the audience and the candidates of the program.
Needless to say, the talented boys from Bachata Heightz travelled all the way from Dominican Republic for the show.
