Latin Country Artist, Stokoff, Brings The Party To His Fans In His New Release “Welcome To La Fiesta”
Stokoff, a latin country artist who has been expanding the genre’s boundaries earning profiles on CMT, The Country Network, and more, debuted his latest release Welcome to La Fiesta today, July 28.
Written by Stokoff, Phil Barton (Lee Brice, Dustin Lynch), and Brian White (Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins, Rascal Flatts), Welcome to La Fiesta serves as his second release to earn a spotlight by The Academy of Country Music on their Fresh Music Friday playlist.
“I had a blast writing this song with Phil Barton and Brian White,” says Stokoff. “It has the perfect Latin-redneck mix. The Latin percussion and horns blend with the traditional pedal steel and fiddle, played by the one and only Jenee Fleenor (four-time CMA Musician of the year) and with the characteristics I’ve branded in my Stokoff Latin Country sound. This is a happy song, inviting everybody to chill out in a multicultural fiesta where everybody is welcome to be themselves without strings attached. So, Welcome to La Fiesta!”
The lyric video will be premiering on AntiMusic on August 2. To download or stream the single, click HERE.

In an interview with Vents Magazine, Stokoff reflected on the influence his Colombian heritage has played in his music: “Colombia is a very colorful country with different musical sounds. As South Americans, we are very positive, passionate, and creative people, and all of these feelings are blended in my songs.”
Stokoff’s debut release in the US market, “Country Music Hits En Español Y Mas,” saw almost two million streams on Spotify. The collection featured remakes and adaptations of the country hits from artists such as Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, and Rascal Flatts, alongside Stokoff originals.
