"Palmar" is an original single by Mexican artist Caloncho, from his album "Fruta." In 2015, he released a new version of the single in collaboration with Chilean artist Mon Laferte, included on the album "Fruta (Vol. II)" and the special edition "Fruta (X Años)" released in 2015.

The song is a "tropifolk" anthem that evokes images of the beach, relaxation, and a romance under the sun, accompanied by tropical rhythms with folk and pop influences, characteristic of the Mexican artist's laid-back style. Currently, the official video has over 63 million views on YouTube, becoming an iconic piece in both artists' catalogs.

The single “Palmar” by Caloncho and Mon Laferte reflects an immersion in escape, a constant connection with nature and ideal companionship, celebrating rest and love in a tropical setting. According to Caloncho himself, the title is an abbreviation of the phrase “para el mar” (for the sea), which he uses to describe the desire to leave the city and routine behind to enjoy an endless day on the coast with freedom and simplicity, through the use of elements like sun, sand, and water.

The underlying message involves sharing that moment of calm with someone special, making the experience perfectly complemented by the other person's presence. The song seeks to convey these sensations not only through the lyrics but also with sounds that mimic the natural environment, like water, to reinforce an atmosphere of peace.

Lyrics.-

Morena de grandes ojos
Qué lindo brillo tienen tus hombros
Quisiera llevarte al mar
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
Y poder disfrutar del día siempre

Echados al sol
Sin tu bañador, ouh
Echados al sol
Uh-uh
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad

Qué rico hueles a tropical
Pepino con chile y sal de mar
Puedo ver
Un destello de arena
Pegado a tu color tostado
Que brilla al reflejar el sol

Quisiera navegar cual sudor
Tu piel morena
Rumbo a hacerme vapor

Y echados al sol
Sin tu bañador, ouh
Echarnos al sol
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh

Y echarnos al sol
Sin tu bañador, ouh
Y echarnos al sol
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh

Y poder disfrutar el día siempre
Echados al sol
Sin tu bañador
Sin tu bañador

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
