Say hello to Yendry—the hottest new star in Latin music—and her latest infectious single titled ‘Ki Ki’. Born to Dominican parents and raised in Italy, she owes her unique sound to that unexpected mix of Afro, Caribbean and European influences: 

I like to think that all those hours of bachata and merengue rhythms I absorbed at family barbecues, all the car trips with loud neo melodic Italian melodies and all those days spent on YouTube discovering artists like Massive Attack, Radiohead, Blur, that turned into my musical inspiration and when I’m in the studio, it comes out naturally.

PopSugar has an excellent interview. If you want more Yendry, check out the more soulful Barrio and Nena that put her on the map.
