After a successful acoustic tour across Latin America, Chilean rock legend Beto Cuevas—the unmistakable voice behind La Ley—returns to the spotlight with his new single “¡Respira!”. The track marks the beginning of a fresh creative era and serves as the first preview of his upcoming studio album, set for release in 2026.
A Fresh Sound with Familiar Roots
“¡Respira!” captures the essence of Cuevas’ rock origins while embracing a modern sonic landscape. Produced by his longtime collaborator Guillermo Porro, the song blends organic guitar riffs with subtle electronic layers, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. The result is a vibrant and emotional soundscape anchored by Cuevas’ commanding vocals.
With “¡Respira!”, Cuevas invites listeners to slow down, reconnect, and find meaning in simplicity. “We live surrounded by noise, hurry, and expectations that disconnect us from what’s truly important,” Cuevas reflects. “I discovered that breathing—consciously—can be an act of freedom. This song was my way of turning that realization into music.”
From Intimacy to Renewal
Following his Beto Cuevas Acústico tour, which filled venues across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Chile, the artist is channeling that same emotional connection into his new material. The acoustic concerts offered stripped-down, heartfelt versions of classics like “El Duelo” and “Mentira,” highlighting Cuevas’ ability to reimagine his past work while staying authentic to his roots.
A Legacy of Reinvention
Throughout his more than three-decade career, Beto Cuevas has remained one of Latin rock’s most enduring figures. His journey—from fronting La Ley to establishing a successful solo career—has earned him three Latin GRAMMYs®, one GRAMMY®, and over fifteen nominations. Yet, beyond the accolades, Cuevas continues to evolve as a storyteller and performer.
With “¡Respira!”, he reaffirms his artistic vitality — a musician who continues to inspire new generations while staying true to his essence. It’s not just a comeback; it’s a reminder to pause, take a breath, and rediscover what makes life—and music—worth living.
