Spanish pop icon Enrique Iglesias and breakout Latin boy band Santos Bravos have officially announced their first collaborative single, titled ‘OOH LAKA LAKA LA.’ The brand-new track is scheduled for release on October 9, 2026, marking an exciting crossover event for fans of contemporary Latin music.
Digital pre-saves for the upcoming track are currently live across major streaming platforms. The artists officially confirmed the launch date and title through a collaborative teaser video shared across their respective social media channels, utilizing the promotional hashtag #ENRIQUExSTBV.
From FIFA Fan Festival to the Recording Studio
While ‘OOH LAKA LAKA LA’ serves as their first original studio recording together, this collaboration builds upon an established live connection. On June 28, 2026, Santos Bravos performed as the opening act for Enrique Iglesias during the high-profile FIFA Fan Festival at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico, an event that drew over 100,000 attendees.
During the climax of the concert, the five members of Santos Bravos returned to the stage to join Iglesias for a live rendition of his global smash hit ‘I Like It.’ The electrifying performance became one of the most talked-about moments of the night, laying the groundwork for this upcoming musical partnership.
The Teaser Campaign and What Lies Ahead
Expectation for the new release began building when both acts shared a mysterious teaser clip online. The video featured the members of Santos Bravos humming an unreleased, catchy melody before Enrique Iglesias made a surprise appearance at the end.
Although official channels have offered a brief preview of the track, complete production credits, full lyrics, songwriter details, and information regarding an accompanying music video remain unconfirmed as of press time. The rhythmic and engaging nature of the teaser points toward an infectious, hook-heavy refrain designed for maximum commercial appeal.
