Multi-GRAMMY winner Draco Rosa has released Montserrat, the lead single from his upcoming album Olas de Luz, set for April 24, 2026. The track features raw emotion and handmade music, marking a reflective chapter in the Puerto Rican artist's four-decade career. A video filmed in Viejo San Juan accompanies the release.
Draco Rosa, a multi-GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY award winner known for his work in Latin pop, alternative rock, and experimental songwriting, launched Montserrat on March 9, 2026. The single introduces Olas de Luz, his forthcoming studio album, and is available across digital platforms. Rosa describes the song as capturing the essence of an eternal love that dissipates darkness, drawing from 43 years of melody creation.
Musically, Montserrat blends organic instrumentation with sonic textures from Phantom Vox, performed by Rosa's longtime band. The production emphasizes atmosphere and storytelling over contemporary urban sounds, aligning with Rosa's focus on handcrafted music. The accompanying video, directed by Redamo Rosa, was shot in the historic Gallery Inn in Viejo San Juan, the same location where parts of the album were recorded. This setting enhances the intimate, immersive tone of the visual narrative.
Olas de Luz promises analog sensibilities and appeals to collector culture, with a limited 180-gram vinyl edition available for pre-order. The project arrives amid a resurgence in vinyl sales and album-oriented listening. Rosa's approach contrasts with the dominance of urbano and streaming-driven pop in Latin music, allowing him to sustain relevance through artistry and fan devotion rather than trends.
For fans, Montserrat serves as an artistic prologue to the album, blending romance, nostalgia, and emotional depth in Rosa's signature style.
