Madrid, November 8, 2026 — Kiko Veneno is currently on a tour across Spain and Latin America, where he participates in meetings with local artists, young creators, and cultural communities.
The artist, primarily known as composer, singer, and key figure in Latin American rock, has been active since early October. His itinerary includes visits to cities such as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lima, and Santiago de Chile.
During the events, he has held public talks and informal conversations that have been documented by specialized media outlets. In a session held on November 5 in Cordoba city, he said: "I'm pessimistic about the world, but my attitude is to keep playing samba".
The new album titled 'The Samba from the Other Side', officially released on November 3, presents itself as a tribute to the spirit of itinerant musicians, blending traditional regional folk music elements with contemporary styles.
Veneno has emphasized that his work aims to provide 'candlelight' to understand social and cultural realities within marginalized contexts. "I don't just want to sing songs; I want to echo what goes unheard," he stated during an interview recorded by El País.
The album was produced in collaboration with local artists from southern Spain and Latin America, including musicians from indigenous and rural communities. The production involves sustainable acoustic techniques and the use of traditional instruments recovered or repurposed.
There are no official data on the exact international release date of the album, although its digital availability began officially on November 3 on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
