Santos Bravoos Release New Song “Kawasaki” with Major Contributions from Global Star Producers

The boy group Santos Bravoos, under HYBE Latin America, released their second single “Kawasaki” on January 30. This club-style dance track blends Latin urban sounds with the rhythmic flair unique to Brazilian music, and it features significant contributions from internationally renowned hitmakers such as Grammy-winning producer Diplo, Bang Si-hyuk (“hitman” bang), Johnny Goldstein, and Latin Grammy-winning composer Vibarco.

“Kawasaki” compares the explosive excitement of falling in love to the roar of a racing motorcycle engine. The lyrics, written in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, unfold through the members’ diverse vocal tones and intense grooves. Producers who have collaborated with global stars like Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, and Madonna also participated in its creation, infusing the song with their expertise.

The performance video released on the group’s official YouTube channel showcases the outstanding stage skills of members Drew, Alejandro, Kaue, Gaby, and Kenneth. The five members deliver a charismatic group choreography in a metallic silver studio, amplifying Latin passion through gestures resembling motorcycle riding and a signature dance move that simulates pressing the accelerator.

Santos Bravoos’ performance capabilities have been proven on the international stage as well. On January 23, they took to the runway at Willy Chavarría’s 2026 fall/winter collection “Eterno” in Paris, France, performing a special version of their debut song “0%.” They presented parts of “Kawasaki” and their performance in front of global media, receiving widespread praise for the high quality of their show despite being newcomers.

Just about three months after their debut, Santos Bravoos were nominated for the “New Male Artist of the Year” category at the Latin America’s premier music awards show, the 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro.
