Latin Country Artist, Stokoff, Invites You To “La Fiesta” With His New Single
Stokoff is bringing the party with a dash of Latin heat to the country music scene with his forthcoming release Welcome to La Fiesta. Dropping on July 28, Welcome to La Fiesta is written by Stokoff, Phil Barton (Lee Brice, Dustin Lynch) and Brian White (Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts).
“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!”

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.
