SEBASTIÁN YATRA
delivers multi-platinum album
“DHARMA”

.

.

Chart-topping Colombian singer/songwriter Sebastián Yatra (@SebastianYatra) officially debuts his highly-anticipated third studio album ‘Dharma’! The 17-track genre-bending project, which arrives today alongside multi-platinum certifications, features an abundance of sonic experiences buoyed by some of the music maker’s most honest lyrics, and successful releases last year.

The 47th most streamed YouTube artist is building pillars for Latin music in the mainstream music space, across the the “Dharma” album’s already 2.3 Billion combined streams, sprinkled across releases like the 8x platinum hit (“Pareja del Año”), his 4x platinum smash (“Chica Ideal”), and the Latin GRAMMYs nominated ballad “Adios,” all released by the award-winning multi-talent last year.

Sebastián Yatra’s current powerhouse platinum pop single ‘Tacones Rojos’ continues to prove the hitmaker’s strength for creating music with good feels, standing tall as a leading pop song among an otherwise reggaeton-dominated genre, climbing to a new peak this week at #52 on Spotify’s Global Top 100, accruing +246 Million streams and growing exponentially on global streaming and radio charts.

“I make music to heal all parts of the heart,” Sebastián shares on the many emotions on display on the album “Dharma.” The songs share familiar life experiences mosaiced through lyrics that deliver honest, sometimes chilling recollection of moments pertaining to emotions such as fear and joy, sexuality and sadness; performed over beats reversed by any genre-mold; from pop to 80s retro, reggaeton (“Regresé”) to ballads (“Tarde”), cumbia (“Amor Pasajero”) and rumba flamenca to the platinum music maker’s ode to early 2000s punk rock (“Las Dudas” w/ Aitana)! 

The 7x platinum “Runaway” single with Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha also appears on the album, as well as six new tracks, including a beautiful collaboration with Elena Rose, “Quererte Bonito,” a fun track with Lenny Tavárez & Mariah Angeliq, “Si Me La Haces,” and the album title-track “Dharma” that started it all, a collaboration with Rosario Flores and Jorge Celedón. The title-track mixes vallenato and rumba flamenca with Yatra’s signature sound. 

The album, and title-track, are inspired by the word. “Dharma is part of life’s journey.” Sebastián Yatra writes. “It is destiny. It is natural. It flows and it’s what is meant to be. It’s about accepting reality and receiving life for what it is.” The word dharma is the flipside of the more popular “karma which Yatra defines as “what comes to you in life for the things you do.” He continues “Dharma is a gift.” The good, the bad, the happy, and the sad are depicted in the music. “Although some songs are sad and others speak from happiness,” he explains ”they are all a part of our existence and love.”

‘Dharma’ showcases the music maker’s continued music versatility across music styles. When the singer and songwriter begins a project, he makes music from the heart and explores the sounds that touch those emotions. The award-winning multi-talent conquers hearts through his lyrics, co-created visuals and performance charisma, which is further evident through his double Billboard Top 50 Latin chart releases on the current chart. 

The talented Colombian singer-songwriter’s performance of the song “DOS ORUGUITAS” (“TWO CATERPILLARS”) from The Walt Disney animated film “ENCANTO” has also unlocked a new career milestone with a Spotify US Chart Top 50 debut at #45 as the only Spanish-language song on the chart.  It is featured on Oscar’s coveted “short list” and also nominated for the Critics Choice Film Awards, honoring the original work by acclaimed composer Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

The genre-versatile music orchestrator Sebastián Yatra will also embark on his “Dharma World Tour” on February 23rd with additional cities and countries added regularly on his website: https://sebastianyatra.com. North American dates slated to be announced very soon! 

This week, Sebastián Yatra received 4 nominations for Premio Lo Nuestro 2022, including “Premio Lo Nuestro Artist Of The Year,” “The Perfect Mix of the Year,” “Pop Solo Artist Of The Year,” and “Pop Collaboration of the Year.” Fans can vote for these awards on their website: https://premiolonuestro.com/vota/.
