It has became one of Cruz's most popular songs, leading to the song being covered by several artists, including salsa singers Victor Manuelle and La India as well as reggaetón singers Ivy Queen, Nicky Jam and Mikey Perfecto, among others.
Cover versions
It was covered by reggaetón singer Mikey Perfecto on his second studio album Evolución Arrestada in 2004. The song featured guest vocals performed by Joel Dando Tra. The song combines merengue and reggaetón music and has a duración of two minutes and fifty-three seconds. It contains a verse written by Perfecto himself. Perfecto chose to cover the song because he listed Cruz as one of his many musical influences on the preceding interlude track of the album.[2]That same year, fellow reggaetón singer Nicky Jam also covered "La Vida Es Un Carnaval". Puerto Rican singer Víctor Manuelle performed a live version of the song which was included on the live album Victor Manuelle en Vivo: Desde el Carnegie Hall. This version peaked at number 14 on the Tropical Songs chart. The song was covered by the Queen of Reggaetón, Ivy Queen on her ninth studio album Vendetta in 2014.[3]
