Fresh off a show-stopping performance of their hit “Francotirador” at the Latin GRAMMYs, Latin music collective DARUMAS have dropped their latest single, “Wanna Be”—a groovy, bass-driven track that dives deep into the complexities of freedom and connection. Accompanied by a striking music video created in collaboration with Bershka, the single premiered this week on TikTok, further cementing DARUMAS’ presence in the global music scene.
“Wanna Be” delivers raw honesty, capturing the internal tug-of-war between independence and attachment. Lyrics like “Para ser honesta me molesta si te vas… también siendo honesta me molesta cuando estás” resonate universally, while the empowering refrain, “Just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be free,” underscores the track’s irresistible blend of vulnerability and confidence.
The release comes amid an extraordinary rise for DARUMAS. The trio—composed of Argentina’s Aldana Aguirre, Miami’s Ceci Leon, and Haiti’s Vedala Vilmond—have been on a meteoric trajectory since their self-titled debut album dropped in May. From landing a Latin GRAMMY nomination for ‘Best New Artist’ to taking stages at Outside Lands, Rock in Rio, and the Latin Alternative Music Conference, DARUMAS’ star power continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Blending Aldana’s sought-after bass grooves, Ceci’s fiery guitar riffs, and Vedala’s mesmerizing vocals, DARUMAS’ music reflects a unique mosaic of global influences. As they continue to push boundaries and redefine Latin pop, “Wanna Be” is yet another milestone in their journey of resilience, artistry, and unstoppable momentum.
