GUSI LE DA LA BIENVENIDA A ALFREDO GUTIÉRREZ EN“YUQUITA”
Colombian singer-songwriter and five-time Latin GRAMMY® nominee Gusi unveils “Yuquita”, the second single from his upcoming album Vallenato Social Club.
Infused with a festive and joyful sound, yet carrying lyrics that reflect a sense of longing, “Yuquita” brings together two generations of vallenato. Gusi is joined by the legendary Alfredo Gutiérrez, whose unmatched charisma and musical legacy have made him an icon of the genre.
Following the success of “Acabaste Conmigo”—Gusi’s collaboration with ElderDayán Díaz, which has topped Monitor Latino’s Top 20 Tropical chart for three consecutive weeks—this new release merges Gusi’s modern tropical style with the signature sound of ‘El Rebelde del Acordeón’, Alfredo Gutiérrez.
Written by Miguel Ospino “Yera,” Marcos González, Manuel Ariza, Jesús Alberto Rodríguez, and Gusi, “Yuquita” delivers a nostalgic reflection on vallenato and folkloric traditions. The song conveys a longing to restore the genre’s essence—its deep connection to heritage and life’s simple yet profound stories. It also highlights how modern social media trends are overshadowing musical traditions, risking the loss of authenticity. “Yuquita” is both a tribute to vallenato’s roots and a call to preserve its timeless magic.
