Rauw Alejandro's song 'Dando Vueltas' – made in a collaborative creative process led by Rauw Alejandro, alongside legendary producers including Eduardo Cabra, Edgar Barrera, Rios, and Sebastian Otero – reflects the cultural heartbeat of Buchanan's Scotch Whisky's FIFA World Cup 2026™ celebrations that invite fans into nuestro mundo (our world). For Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky, and for Latinos around the world, the FIFA World Cup 2026™ is more than a tournament; it's a family reunion that takes the Latino-style, creativity and joy that start on the pitch and brings them to celebrations that are bolder, more deeply connected and undeniably more fun to watch with a Buchanita cocktail in hand.

At a time when modern fútbol is shifting toward more structured, data-driven play, the individual expression and flair that's characteristic of Latino-style fútbol is becoming less common. 'Dando Vueltas' music video is a reclamation of the exciting, electrifying ritmo of fútbol, with Rauw weaving in the rhythm of the game wearing a Buchanan's tech-enabled fútbol boot.

Rauw Alejandro's 'Dando Vueltas' is a cinematic visual experience steeped in cultural reverence. More than a music video, it is a testament to resilience and the universal language of fútbol — a force capable of uniting a divided world through sport and shared joy. By centering the Latin American working class throughout, Rauw honors the very people who drive the global economy, framing collective strength as our greatest asset. The production is further elevated by the rare involvement of legendary choreographers Rich+Tone. Known for their work creating some of the most iconic dance moves in entertainment, their collaboration marks a profound full-circle moment, bridging Rauw's modern vision with the legacy of some of his greatest inspirations.

As Rauw says to close the video, "If life was more like football, borders wouldn't matter, every language would connect us, and we would all celebrate together."

"For us, fútbol isn't just a sport—it's how we come together as familia," said Neil Shah, Global Brand Director, Whisk(e)y portfolio at Diageo. "Rauw's song 'Dando Vueltas' is a culmination of everything that makes the Latino fútbol experience so special. As Buchanan's Scotch Whisky continues to celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2026™ with music, rhythm and community at the forefront, we welcome fans to join our chosen familia and celebrate the spirit of the game together."

The global premiere of 'Dando Vueltas' took place in New York City, where Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky and Rauw Alejandro celebrated in person and extended the party across the Americas, as Rauw greeted fans in Colombia, Puerto Rico and beyond via video before the song's debut. The premiere was preceded by the appearance of mysterious fútbol boots across cities in North and Latin America, teasing a milestone moment in Buchanan's campaign rollout that fans could uncover with 50 days to go until the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

"I always dreamt of becoming a fútbol player, and I remember how essential music felt before every match," said Rauw Alejandro. "Now, as an artist, the way I step into the world of fútbol is through music. Working with Buchanan's gave me the opportunity to create a special song for my community, one that reflects the joy, energy, and connection that fútbol brings to so many of us."

Buchanan's broader, music-led celebration will continue in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ by connecting cultures and communities where love for fútbol leads every gathering, through:

• Global Creative Featuring Rauw Alejandro – A series of content starring Rauw Alejandro, inviting fans to experience how Latino culture shapes fútbol in nuestro mundo, making the game warmer, louder and more connected.
• Limited-Edition Bottle Collection – Designed in collaboration with cultural collective Kids of Immigrants, the collection celebrates identity and belonging by paying tribute to the places where the pulse of fútbol lives – from fields to streets to stadiums.
• In-Culture Celebrations Across the Americas – From watch parties to fan experiences, Buchanan's will show up wherever fans gather to celebrate the game together.
• Signature Serves for the Tournament – Including the Buchanita, the brand's FIFA World Cup 2026™ signature serve made with Buchanan's 12-Year-Old DeLuxe Blended Scotch Whisky and pineapple juice; it brings a distinctive Buchanan's twist to match-day rituals and can be enjoyed at stadium concessions, bars, fan zones and at-home watch parties.
