Jombriel continues one of the fastest ascents in Latin urban music with the release of “El Klavo,” a new collaboration featuring Colombian hitmaker Kris R and producer JØTTA. Available now across all major streaming platforms, the single blends contemporary reggaetón with Afro-Caribbean and reggae influences, creating a dancefloor-ready record that reflects where the genre is heading while highlighting the chemistry between two of its fastest-growing stars.
Built around the popular expression that “one nail drives out another,” El Klavo tells the story of an irresistible attraction sparked by a woman whose confidence and presence instantly command attention. Rather than leaning solely on traditional reggaetón formulas, the track layers infectious melodies with rhythmic Afro influences and reggae textures, giving the collaboration a fresh sonic identity while maintaining the street-driven authenticity both artists have become known for.
The production comes from JØTTA, whose approach balances modern Latin urban production with Caribbean-inspired percussion and melodic grooves. The result is a record designed for clubs, festivals, and playlists during the summer season, while still offering enough musical depth to distinguish itself in an increasingly competitive reggaetón landscape.
Accompanying the release is an official music video filmed in Medellín. Featuring high-energy choreography, vibrant lighting, and a nightlife-inspired atmosphere, the visual reinforces the song’s central theme of attraction, celebration, and movement, extending the energy established throughout the record.
The collaboration arrives at an especially important point in Jombriel’s career. Over the past year, the Ecuadorian artist has rapidly evolved from one of urban music’s most promising newcomers into one of its most closely watched emerging names. The success of singles including “Vitamina,” “Parte & Choke,” and “Parte & Choke Remix” has expanded his international profile, while recognition as Billboard’s Latin Up-and-Comer further validated his growing influence.
That momentum has continued beyond streaming. Jombriel recently sold out his first New York City headline performance at the historic Gramercy Theatre and has been steadily expanding his presence throughout the United States with his first U.S. tour. His visibility has also extended into sports and mainstream entertainment through appearances with Inter Miami CF and performances during FIFA World Cup celebrations, including the FIFA Fan Fest in Kansas City.
For Kris R, El Klavo represents another strategic collaboration during one of the strongest stretches of his career. Following the success of EL TRAP DE KOLOMBIA, the Colombian artist has continued building an international audience through viral releases, major streaming performances, and multiple sold-out dates on his EL TRAP DE KOLOMBIA TOUR. While much of his catalog has been rooted in trap, this collaboration demonstrates his versatility by stepping comfortably into a more melodic, Afro-inspired reggaetón environment without sacrificing the vocal style that has fueled his rapid rise.
The collaboration also reflects a broader trend within Latin urban music. Afro-Caribbean rhythms continue to shape the next evolution of reggaetón, with producers increasingly blending Afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, and Caribbean percussion into mainstream urbano releases. Rather than treating these sounds as occasional influences, artists like Jombriel and Kris R are embracing them as foundational elements, helping expand reggaetón’s global appeal while keeping its rhythmic identity rooted in Latin culture.
For Jombriel, El Klavo is another calculated step in transforming breakout momentum into sustained international relevance. Instead of relying exclusively on solo releases following several viral successes, he continues to collaborate with artists from neighboring markets, broadening both his audience and creative range. That strategy positions him not simply as Ecuador’s latest breakout act, but as one of the new generation of Latin urban artists capable of competing across multiple markets throughout the Americas.
With its infectious hook, polished production, and the combined star power of Jombriel and Kris R, El Klavo arrives with the ingredients to become one of this summer’s standout Latin urban releases. As both artists continue expanding internationally, the collaboration signals that their momentum is far from slowing down—and reinforces the growing influence of the new wave currently reshaping reggaetón.
