Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2021) - Grief and farewells that stir, disarm,
and rebuild us: breezes that are visits and memories that are
geographically infinite. “Viento,” the third single from Yorka’s upcoming
album in which the Pastenes sisters decided to pay grand tribute to the
memory of their father with a collaborative showpiece amidst distinguished
names in music and theater. Yorka continues revealing what will be their
new album, the follow up to their acclaimed 2018 album “Humo.” In the wake
of a rewarding tour through the north of the continent, with successful
concerts in Mexico and a great experience achieved in the United States,
the sisters present one of their most important collaborations to date.
“Viento” was born in the chaos of Santiago Centro, within just
months of the death of Yorka and Daniela’s father. “He always brought us on
trips there, so this song is a little tribute to the city that he loved so
much and to his memory, which comes reborn in that wind,” Yorka explains
about the piece that was conceived upon understanding these gusts as a
needed visit from those who are no longer here, our dead.
Produced by Christian Heyne, the single features the voices of
Colombian Grammy winner Lido Pimienta, and the recent nominee and renowned
national singer Gepe. “It’s a sad and powerful song, so we wanted to invite
more people so that the incantation would be stronger. We always thought of
Gepe and it was lovely that he accepted. Lido sent us an artistic proposal
that gave us chills and that gave it all of the flavor that was needed. We
love it, because they’re both Latin artists that maintain a lot of the
identity of their regions in songs,” Daniela says.
The video for “Viento” maintains Yorka and Daniela’s tone in this
new era, defined by a high-quality audiovisual workmanship, this time
undertaken by the actress and director Fernanda Ramirez and by the producer
Maleza. “The idea developed very inspired by Tim Burton’s ‘Big Fish.’ We wanted
to make a different ending for the death of our father. That’s why this young
version of him appears that brings him to visit the city he loved so much for
the last time,” Yorka explains about the moving piece starring the renowned and
recent winner of the Premios Platino Best Supporting Actor award Alfredo
Castro, Santiago Rodríguez (“Historia de un mundial”), Gepe and Lido Pimienta.
It’s a release that will
be celebrated live and with spectators because Yorka returns to the stage to
strengthen the growth and globalization of their recent years. On Saturday,
November 13, they’ll have two performances at Matucana 100.
