Touch raps in both English and Spanish, shouting out the New York house legend Louie Vega (who co-produced the track with Touch and also turned in a pair of remixes, one dedicated to Brooklyn and one aimed at the Bronx) and the reggaeton star Tego Calderón. After terse verses, Touch always returns to the easily memorable hook: The single word “sacude,” shouted and stretched out so it sounds like a battle-cry. He translates for the English speakers that might not know its meaning: “Let me you see you shake it/That’s what we call sacude, letting go of that fake shit.”
“Sacude” came out in July on Vega’s label, Vega Records.
