Interview: Jencarlos Canela Gives Latin Spin To HOP

JenCarlos in Miami for HOP Press Day

Recording artist and Spanish soap opera star Jencarlos Canela (Doña Barbara,  Pecados Ajenos, Mas Sabe El Diablo) brings some Latino flavor to the new live-animated film HOP starring James Marsden and featuring the voice of Russell Brand as the Easter Bunny.

The Cuban-American singer takes HOP’s title song ‘I Want Candy,” originally recorded by the Strangeloves in 1965 and popularized by Bow Wow Wow’s cover version in 1982, and put his own spin for the Spanish version of the film for the Caribbean.
