Santos Bravos and &TEAM release teaser for collaboration track 'ORIGAMI'... to be released on the 20th

The group Santos Bravos has revealed a teaser for their new song in collaboration with &TEAM (&TEAM) to the public. On the 14th, Santos Bravos uploaded the first teaser video for their new song ″ORIGAMI″ on their official YouTube channel and various platforms. The approximately 11-second video features props that evoke the atmosphere of Latin America, such as cowboy hats, guitars, and a space with candles. Alongside these, photos of traditional Japanese architecture and a small paper crane are placed together, with red, green, and blue lighting, analog film effects, and rapid scene transitions visually intertwining the cultures of the two regions. ″ORIGAMI,″ set to be released on the 20th, is the first song to be unveiled from Santos Bravos’ second EP, which will be released next year. This is their second collaboration with &TEAM, who is under HYBE Japan, following their club dance track ″KAWASAKI (&TEAM Remix)″ released in February. This work is filled with a Latin urban pop genre that emphasizes emotional textures. The song title is derived from the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, reflecting the process of growth through life experiences and relationships, just as shapes change through folding. The agency HYBE Latin America stated, ″The song centers on gratitude for family, friends, and community, expressing the determination not to lose one’s foundation amid change.″ Meanwhile, Santos Bravos is a five-member team formed in October last year based on HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s concept of ″multi-home, multi-genre″ and the ″K-pop methodology.″ The group consists of Dru (USA), Kaue (Brazil), Alejandro (Peru), Kenneth (Mexico), and Gabi (Puerto Rico), and they plan to perform at the Chile, Argentina, and Brazil music festival ″Lollapalooza South America 2027″ in March next year.
