“Corazón de Nutella” is a sweet and vibrant tribute to classic merengue, blending nostalgic rhythms with a modern romantic twist. Dominican artist Cristian Allexis joins forces with Jandy Ventura, son of the legendary Johnny Ventura, to deliver a charming and danceable single that celebrates love, sweetness, and gallantry.
The inspiration for the song struck in a tender moment in 2022, when Cristian saw his youngest son Thiago drawing a heart with Nutella on a table. That image sparked the idea—and the title—for a merengue that would evoke both tradition and personal warmth. Drawing influence from Johnny Ventura’s early ’80s sound and Cristian’s own fan-favorite track “Chocolatico de Agua,” the song was designed to balance vintage flavor with contemporary soul.
Produced by Aníbal Coronado and Cristian Allexis, and recorded at Deivi Bass’s studio, “Corazón de Nutella” features a smooth yet energetic arrangement. The track is crafted with the help of a top-tier team of musicians and engineers who brought their artistry to every detail.
Jandy Ventura’s contribution elevated the song to another level. Upon hearing his first take, Cristian knew it was meant to be a duet. To round out the track’s rich vocal harmonies, Cristian invited merengue veterans Roberto Del Castillo and Henry García, whose experience and charisma shine through in the backing vocals.
From its heartfelt beginnings to its joyful final mix, “Corazón de Nutella” is more than a single—it’s a celebration of Dominican music, love, and tradition, destined to bring smiles and movement to dance floors everywhere.
