More than just a collaboration, “So Bella” feels like a celebration of the ties that continue to unite Latino communities across borders. Yahritza y Su Esencia, who proudly represent Yakima, Washington, and Low Clika, whose roots stretch across northern Mexico and the borderlands, come together on a song that reflects a shared culture shaped by family, tradition and music.
Though separated by geography, both groups grew up with the same rituals: gathering around the television to watch fútbol, filling the house with the aroma of home-cooked meals, and turning every victory into a reason to celebrate with loved ones. In “So Bella,” those experiences converge, reminding listeners that culture travels with people and that identity cannot be confined by borders.
At a time when many Latinos are navigating uncertainty and division, the collaboration carries an even deeper meaning. Music and soccer have long served as powerful forces that bring communities together, creating spaces where generations can connect and where memories are passed down through
songs, stories and shared traditions. Through “So Bella,” Low Clika and Yahritza y Su Esencia offer more than a soundtrack for the World Cup season; they deliver a heartfelt reminder that joy, community and cultural pride remain stronger than the challenges facing Latino families.
This track could live beyond this sporting event and become the soundtrack for any big Latino celebrations.
LOW CLIKA: We were given the opportunity to create something for the World Cup and we thought, “OK, but let’s make something that transcends that, something that goes beyond and isn’t just a World Cup song.” That’s how “So Bella” was born. It really came from this feeling of celebration and what unites us as Latinos. that party spirit, always with good vibes, through the good times, the bad times, and everything in between.
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: The homies gave us the opportunity to share this song with them. It’s a very organic track and, like Mando said, it crosses many borders. The collaboration itself happened virtually, but the song is filled with energy and love. We hope people enjoy it.
And this song is something outside of what we normally do. But it was a lot of fun working with the homies, and I think that energy they bring made the song really fun. Even though everything happened virtually, this song crossed the border thousands of times as we sent files back and forth and kept tweaking little details here and there.
Even though you are from different parts of Mexico and the United States, the vibe remains the same. We all share that spirit of celebrating, having carne asadas, and that family-oriented essence that brings us together.
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: That’s the beautiful thing about music. Even though we come from different places and live in different places, music brings everyone together.
LOW CLIKA: As long as you have ears, that’s all you need.
This single could uplift the spirit of our community especially during moments when Latino families are being targeted.
LOW CLIKA: Collaborating with Yahritza y su Esencia is a dream come true. Like we’ve said before, it’s surreal because we’d all been listening to their music at home on Sundays while sweeping, mopping, crying, or partying. We’ve all sung Yahritza y Su Esencia songs at the top of our lungs, so being able to share music with them is a dream.
We also want this song to go beyond the World Cup. We want it to be something people can listen to while partying, driving home from the afterparty, heading to the game, whatever. Every time you play it, we hope it brings joy and good vibes. Even if you’re doing homework, it’ll make you do it with enthusiasm. This song has the power to help you forget about the bad stuff and enjoy music and life for a little while.
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: For us, it’s really cool to make a song that people can turn to when they’re going through hard times. Hopefully it helps them forget about everything happening in the world right now. There are a lot of sad things going on, but that’s why we use our gift of making music, to bring joy to people’s hearts.
The song has regional Mexican elements, but it could also be played in clubs. How did this blend of sounds and rhythms come together? How did you incorporate new instruments into the song?
LOW CLIKA: We wanted to represent Mexico through the instruments that both of us use in regional music, but we also wanted to fuse them with house music and other urban influences so people would want to dance. I think that’s exactly what this song accomplishes. Personally, I can’t listen to it without bobbing my head. You just naturally start moving. The song doesn’t let go of you. It’s really a mix of cultures. Electronic music comes from completely different roots, and regional music is something entirely different.
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: Yeah, I think we’re always trying to experiment with different sounds and genres. “So Bella” isn’t something we normally do, but thank God we got to make it with the Low Clika homies and it sounds amazing. That’s the fun thing about music. There aren’t rules that say you have to stay within your own genre. You can step outside, explore, and experiment with new artists like Low Clika. I love their story and everything they’re doing right now, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.
I loved the creativity behind Low Clika: The Series. Can you give us a little preview of what’s coming next?
LOW CLIKA: It’s a very bizarre story that basically tells our own story. If you watch the series, you’ll get to know us better and understand the Low Clika universe. From the very beginning it says, “Based on somewhat true events.” So it’s really interesting, and the story keeps evolving.
Episode 3, which is coming next, is where a lot of things will finally start making sense. It’s the episode that connects everything. We also have a very special guest, Víctor Metivil, so there will be tons of dialogue and a lot of things that tie together. And there’s a new song, too — one of our favorite songs, actually.
What’s one stage or venue you still dream of conquering?
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: We’d love to perform at the Auditorio Nacional.
LOW CLIKA: We’d like to conquer Belico Fest and Flow Fest, which are coming up. And I think everyone’s dream here would be to play Coachella one day.
Is there a musical instrument that holds sentimental value and is still part of your collection?
YAHRITZA Y SU ESENCIA: For us, it’s a guitar we still have. It was the first guitar I was able to buy when I was working at the farm with my dad. It all started because of a bet between my uncle and me to see who would buy a guitar first. I went out and bought one that same day. I didn’t know how to play, so I turned to YouTube and taught myself. It was the first guitar I used to write my first song, “Soy El Único,” when I was 13 years old. I didn’t even know how to play guitar, but I was already writing lyrics without melodies or anything. A $200 investment turned into a dream.
LOW CLIKA: Mine would have to be the instrument I currently play. It was my first bajo quinto. Before that, I played a 12-string guitar and used it almost like a bajo quinto. It was the first instrument I bought with my own money. I’m kind of crazy, though. I looked at that bajo quinto and imagined it in ten different ways. I sanded it down, repainted it about three times, and now it looks the way I always envisioned it. It still has its imperfections, but I’ve spent so much time with it that I appreciate it deeply. I imagined it this way, and that’s how it turned out. It’s the instrument I still play today, we’ve become buddies.
MUSICAL VISION FOR THE FUTURE: TWO YOUNG ACTS HYPING CULTURE AND REGIONAL MEXICAN MUSIC
The release of “So Bella” arrives at a pivotal moment for both acts, who continue pushing the boundaries of contemporary regional Mexican music. Born out of a genuine desire to unite Latino communities through a song that transcends the World Cup itself, the collaboration blends regional and urban influences into a fresh sound designed to resonate with audiences on both sides of the border.
For Low Clika, the momentum continues following their appearance at Premios Lo Nuestro, an opening slot for Víctor Mendivil at the Palenque de Metepec, and the launch of Low Clika: La Serie, an audiovisual project that gives fans an intimate look at the band’s journey. New episodes of Low Clika: La Serie continue to roll out on Weverse, TikTok and YouTube, offering fans even more ways to connect with one of regional Mexican music’s most exciting new movements.
Meanwhile, Yahritza y Su Esencia continue to build on their remarkable rise after collaborating with Julieta Venegas on “La Línea” and joining Rosalía on “La Perla,” cementing their place among the most exciting young voices in the genre.
As the countdown to the world’s biggest soccer celebration begins, Low Clika and Yahritza y Su Esencia invite fans everywhere to add “So Bella” to the soundtrack of their own family traditions. Whether it’s blasting through the speakers during a backyard carne asada, on the drive to watch the match with friends, or during the celebrations that follow, the song serves as a reminder that music, like fútbol, has the power to bring people together.
“So Bella” is now available on all digital platforms.
