Tiësto is proud to unveil his latest project “Una Velita”, a heartfelt single inspired by the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico and the groundbreaking artistry of Bad Bunny. Drawing on the rhythms, melodies, and energy of Puerto Rican music, this track is more than just a song—it’s a celebration of cultural heritage and a beacon of hope for artistic development.
“Una Velita” is a tribute to the victims of Hurricane Maria and a call to action for Puerto Rico. In a meaningful collaboration with the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture (ICP), Tiësto and his label will donate all proceeds from the release to initiatives supporting Puerto Rican music and artists. Funds raised will be used to subsidize recording proposals submitted to the ICP, fostering creativity and preserving the island’s rich musical traditions. This initiative reflects Tiësto’s deep respect for Puerto Rican culture and his commitment to empowering local talent.
“Puerto Rico’s music and culture have always been a source of inspiration for me. With Una Velita, I wanted to honor that legacy while giving back to the community that has given the world so much incredible art. I’m thrilled to partner with Bad Bunny and the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture to make a lasting impact.” – Tiësto
“Una Velita” represents Tiësto’s passion for using music as a force for positive change. By championing new cultural recordings and amplifying the voices of Puerto Rican musicians, the project bridges global audiences with the island’s unique musical heritage. It’s a testament to the universal power of music to unite and inspire.
