SEBASTIÁN YATRA RETURNS WITH EMOTIONAL SINGLE “LA PELIRROJA”

Latin Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra returns with a heartbreaking new single, “La Pelirroja” (Universal Music Latino).

The Colombian artist, who has performed on the Oscars stage (Encanto’s “Dos Oroguitas” in 2022), made his Broadway debut last year as Billy Flynn in Chicago and on 3/1 headlined Chile’s Viña del Mar International Song Festival—the world’s most-watched Latin music event—has been teasing “La Pelirroja” ("The Redhead") for months.

Yatra surprised fans in Chile with the unreleased song and has been performing acoustic snippets for his 28m followers on Instagram and 20m on TikTok. The Habibi-repped star even recruited friend Tom Hanks for some promo—Yatra collaborated with Rita Wilson on “’Til You’re Home,” a song from Wilson and Hanks’ 2022 film A Man Called Otto. Watch Yatra do a bit of schtick with Hanks, then screen a Hanks clip-show Reel set to "La Peliroja."

Filmed in Buenos Aires, the official music video for “La Pelirroja” was directed by Rocío Gastaldi. Watch it below.
