Mesmerizing and exuberant Argentinian La Yegros, probably the most magnetic artist on the South American continent, is back with a new album!

The undisputed Queen of "Nu Cumbia" has not rested on her laurels. Surrounded by the same accomplices who have supported her for the last ten years, but eager to renew herself, she has set about recording her fourth album, which stands out from her discography. Although her personal folklore is still rooted in South American folklore, La Yegros is now absorbing contemporary, global music, while tackling intimate, often melancholy and even painful subjects, which she overcomes with the same resilience that drives her in concert. Nothing stands in the way of this Argentinian whirlwind, all the more fascinating for the fact that personal considerations are now surfacing beneath the veneer of the party atmosphere she sets alight.

La Yegros returned to the stage in 2022 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Viene de Mí, her single hit from the self-titled album, released in 2012 in Argentina and then worldwide in 2013, which catapulted her to international fame. We then discovered a singer who had grown up in the traditions of her country. Her parents come from Misiones, a province bordering Brazil and Paraguay, where balls are filled with the sounds of chamamé (a mix of polka and Guaraní music), Carnavalito (Andean folklore) and Colombian Cumbia. But she herself is a native of Buenos Aires, whose nights are enlivened by the bass of Dancehall and electronic music.
These influences have merged in two further successful albums, Magnetismo (2016) and Suelta (2019), followed by high voltage tours during which La Yegros has been able to display her generous nature, inexhaustible energy, exuberant personality and infectious enthusiasm.

To record her new album, La Yegros has put her faith in the same team that has worked with her since Viene de Mí. On one hand, producer Gaby Kerpel (also known as King Coya), a pioneer of synthetic experimentation applied to traditional music, who has remained her faithful accomplice for over twenty years. On the other hand, composer Daniel Martín, who knows how to come up with melodies to dream about and hymns to sing along to. Inseparable and complementary, the trio continues to concoct this mesmerizing mixture where acoustic instruments meet samples and the rolling of machines.

“The striking vocals of La Yegros inspired a stripped down, dubbed out, percussive remix with strong afrobeat influence. Her vocals carry so much weight on their own that I enjoyed giving them space and letting them sit within the pocket of the drums.” - Photay

La Yegros, one of the most magnetic artists on the South American continent, is back with a new album!

La Yegros returned to the stage in 2022 to celebrate an anniversary: the 10th anniversary of Viene de Mí, her hit from the album of the same name, released worldwide in 2013, which catapulted her to international fame. We discovered a singer as rooted in the traditions of her country as she is in the most contemporary trends. Her parents come from Misiones, a province bordering Brazil and Paraguay, where balls are filled with the sounds of Chamamé, Carnavalito and Colombian cumbia. But she herself is a native of Buenos Aires, whose nights are alive with the dancehall and electronic bass. These influences have fused in two further successful albums, Magnetismo (2016) and Suelta (2019), followed by whirlwind tours during which La Yegros has been able to display her generous nature, inexhaustible energy, exuberant personality and infectious enthusiasm.

La Yegros relaunched its dance machine in front of audiences as wild as ever, with a tried and tested repertoire that no dancer can resist. But it was also time for a new repertoire. To record their fourth album, La Yegros put her trust in a winning team, already responsible for Viene de Mí. On the one hand, producer Gaby Kerpel, a pioneer of synthetic experimentation applied to traditional music. On the other, composer Daniel Martin, who knows how to come up with melodies to dream about and hymns to sing along to. Inseparable and complementary, the trio continue to concoct this fantastic mixture where acoustic instruments meet samples and the rolling of machines. But La Yegros, crowned queen of Nu-Cumbia, has never rested on her laurels. Her new productions continue to draw on popular music, but they are breaking away from over-defined genres. La Yegros invents her own folklore by kniting together new rhythms and integrating original sounds (bassoon, transverse flute, flamenco guitar, etc.), while the urban elements promise to turn dancefloors upside down with echoes of reggae and funk.

La Yegros never conceives an album without imagining how it will perform live. And although her show is a benchmark for the venues and festivals, she went into residency to beef up her formula. In addition to her usual line-up of guitar, accordion and percussion, a musician handles synthesizers and machines to play all the electronic elements live - a risk-taker as much as a doubling of possibilities. In any case, you can count on the singer to assert her increasingly clear-cut character with each new project. And, above all, to never give up. La Yegros is back and her batteries are fully charged!
