\n\tAhead of Sebasti\u00e1n Yatra\u2019s performance at Vi\u00f1a del Mar, the singer sits down with Billboard<\/em> to share the inspiration behind his upcoming single, \u201cLa Pelirroja,\u201d reveals a new album is coming this year, his friendship with Carlos Vives, performing on Broadway and more!<\/p>\n \n\tLeila Cobo:<\/strong> \n\tSebasti\u00e1n Yatra: \n\tIt\u2019s been many years. I was here with my story of sadness, and I said the last time I sat down to talk with Sebasti\u00e1n seriously\u00a0was when he put out Dharma<\/em>, and we did an Instagram Live.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tAnd we were also in Austin for City Limits.<\/p>\n \n\tNo, for SXSW.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tSXSW we saw each other.<\/p>\n \n\tAh, you\u2019re right! SXSW.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tWe were there having a conversation with the public and live.<\/p>\n \n\tIt was fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tIt was super cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAnd what has happened since then?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tWhat hasn\u2019t happened? Wow! What I can tell you that hasn\u2019t happened yet is that I haven\u2019t put out a new album since Dharma<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tI know.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tSo I haven\u2019t put out anything in three years.<\/p>\n \n\tWhy, Sebasti\u00e1n?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tWith my albums, I\u2019ve taken a long time with each one. It\u2019s been almost 10 years of my career and up until now I\u2019ve put out three albums, so it ends up being one every three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tLike the old days?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tYes, like the old days a little bit. We\u2019ll do one and we\u2019ll give it time like every song someone puts out. I think that there are some songs that are really special, and especially in today\u2019s world, there\u2019s a lot of information, and it\u2019s worth it to give them their place.<\/p>\n
