SANTOS BRAVOS Unveils New Single "DUAL" with Global Digital Rollout

The global music scene welcomes a new force in Latin-K-pop fusion as SANTOS BRAVOS officially launches their first extended play (EP), "DUAL." Formed under HYBE Latin America, the five-member group—Gabi, Drew, Alejandro, Kenneth, and Kaue—is leveraging a sophisticated digital strategy to connect their Latin roots with a worldwide audience.

The "Santo" and the "Bravo"

The EP "DUAL," released on March 13, 2026, serves as a conceptual manifesto for the group. It explores the inherent duality of the human experience through two distinct artistic lenses:

• The "Santo" side: Represents spontaneous energy, friendship, and a playful, approachable boyish charm.

• The "Bravo" side: Channels intense, instinctive energy and a deeper, more character-driven artistic identity.

This contrast is anchored by the project's double title tracks: "MHM," a warmer and more comforting song, and "VELOCIDADE," a powerful Brazilian funk-inspired track produced in part by HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk.

A Global Visual & Digital Push

SANTOS BRAVOS is maximizing the impact of the release through a comprehensive multimedia rollout:

• Music & Visuals: Along with the six-track EP, the group has premiered dedicated music videos and performance visuals, including a high-octane video for the single "KAWASAKI."
• Documentary Content: Fans can go behind the scenes with the documentary series detrás de DUAL ("Behind DUAL"), which offers an intimate look at the album's production across Spotify and YouTube.
• Omni-channel Engagement: The group has established a massive digital footprint across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and Weverse, creating a borderless community for their rapidly growing fanbase.

From Reality to the Global Stage

Born from a 2025 reality series that combined the rigorous K-pop training system with authentic Latin cultural influences, SANTOS BRAVOS has already made significant waves. Following a sold-out debut at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, the group has spent 2026 performing on major stages, including South Korea's M Countdown and Inkigayo, as well as prestigious festivals like Estéreo Picnic in Colombia and Tecate Pa'l Norte in Mexico.

With "DUAL" now available on all major streaming platforms, SANTOS BRAVOS is firmly positioned as a cultural movement, proving that Latin identity and K-pop precision are a formidable global combination.
