Global music icon Gloria Estefan joins forces with boundary-breaking star Nathy Peluso to deliver an explosive new remix of “Chirriquí Chirri,” out today. This collaboration is a powerful meeting of two generations of Latin artistry, blending Gloria’s timeless sound and cultural legacy with Nathy’s fearless, genre-bending style.
The remix arrives just in time to ignite Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, ahead of Gloria’s anticipated performance at Hispanidad 2025 in Madrid on October 5.
“Chirriquí Chirri” is part of Gloria Estefan’s latest acclaimed album, RAÍCES, recognized as one of the year’s most outstanding Latin releases and nominated in the categories Album of the Year and Best Traditional Tropical Album for the 26th Latin GRAMMY® Awards. The project dives deep into Estefan’s musical and cultural heritage, fusing traditional sounds with modern pop sensibilities. With smash hits like “Raíces” and “La Vecina”—the latter holding the #1 spot for seven consecutive weeks—the album has become a powerful anthem of identity, tradition, and evolution. Gloria describes RAÍCES as “a journey back to where it all began, honoring the sounds and stories that shaped me while connecting with today’s Latin generations.”
Enter Nathy Peluso—14x nominee and 5x Latin GRAMMY® winner—whose unmistakable artistry has earned her a reputation as one of the most dynamic and daring voices of the new era. Known for her fearless fusion of hip-hop, salsa, R&B, ballads, and more, Nathy brings magnetic energy to “Chirriquí Chirri,” reimagining the track with bold rhythms and fiery vocals. Her collaboration with Gloria not only bridges continents but also underscores the power of Latin music to evolve, inspire, and unite. The New York Times recently highlighted Nathy Peluso’s upcoming EP in their Fall preview, praising its vintage salsa influence. Recorded in Puerto Rico and set for release in October, the project features guest appearances from renowned salsa musicians.
“Working with Nathy has been a joy—she’s vibrant, innovative, and represents the future of Latin music,” shares Gloria. “This remix is a true celebration of our roots and our pride.”
“Gloria is an icon I’ve admired my whole life,” says Nathy. “To share this track with her is an honor, and together we’ve created something that feels both timeless and fresh.”
With the release of this remix, Gloria Estefan and Nathy Peluso are not only celebrating Latin music’s past and present but also opening the door to its limitless future.
