Canary reggae artist and producer Dactah Chando announces the release of “Mercy”, his new single, out on January 9, 2026, across all major digital platforms. The track serves as the first single from his forthcoming studio album, scheduled for release in March 2026.
Based in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), Dactah Chando is widely recognised as one of the leading voices of contemporary European reggae. Active since 2009, his career has been built on artistic consistency, conscious lyrical content and a strong roots reggae foundation, combined with a modern and refined production approach.
Although his catalogue is predominantly sung in Spanish, Dactah Chando maintains a strong international focus. His collaborations with artists such as Alborosie, Luciano, Gyptian, Louie Culture and Frank Dellé, alongside performances at major European festivals including Rototom Sunsplash (ES), Summerjam (DE) and Ostróda Reggae Festival (PL), have firmly established him within the European and global reggae circuit.
“Mercy” represents a significant step in Dactah Chando’s current artistic phase. While most of his repertoire is in Spanish, this new single is performed entirely in English, reinforcing its international scope. The song explores themes of compassion, empathy and human awareness, delivering a universal message rooted in classic reggae values.
The track has been mixed by renowned engineer Umberto Echo, widely recognised for his influential work within the European reggae and dub scene. His distinctive approach to sound and spatial depth adds a powerful and contemporary dimension to the production, further strengthening the song’s impact and authenticity.
