Two of London’s most important Latin music ambassadors SACHELLYS and KIKO have joined forces for an exciting new collaboration titled ‘NO SOMOS NADA’ that captures the essence of UK Latin artistry and community. In an uncanny case of East meets West, with Sachellys repping East London, and Kiko hailing from West London, ‘No Somos Nada’ is rooted in their shared Colombian heritage and London upbringing, masterfully merging UK drill and R&B with the soulful sensibilities of Latin music. Produced and engineered by fellow Colombian Londoners Esco1sst and DZeus (NBA YoungBoy, El Patron 970), ‘No Somos Nada’ is a love story turned introspective anthem about a past flame, and it comes with a glorious video directed by Reece Selvadorai (Skepta, AJ Tracey) that brings the track further to life.

Originating in 2022 during Sachellys’ first ever studio session with producer Esco1sst, ‘No Somos Nada’ began as an experiment with UK drill, and quickly evolved into something entirely unique, with Sachelly’s soft yet compelling falsetto infusing the song with an emotional depth rarely heard in the genre. A year later, her childhood friend and rising bilingual rap artist Kiko added a powerful rap verse to the track. Together, Sachellys and Kiko explore heartbreak and resilience through the dual lenses of Sachellys’ emotive melodies and Kiko’s grounded perspective – the outcome is a seamless interplay of Spanish and English, UK drill and R&B, London and Latin culture, love nostalgia and sharp lyricism.

‘No Somos Nada’ underscores the vibrant UK Latin music movement that Sachellys and Kiko are spearheading, with both artists embodying this fusion of cultures, drawing from their Colombian roots, while embracing the energy of their London hometown. Sachellys’ distinctive sound blends the influence of salsa legends like Celia Cruz with the modernity of artists like Kali Uchis, while Kiko’s bilingual approach, spanning drill, reggaeton and trap, solidifies his status as a rising force. The collaboration is a celebration of identity, innovation, and community. With its captivating blend of genres and culture, ‘No Somos Nada’ reveals Sachellys and Kiko as leading voices in a new era of UK Latin music.

Speaking about the inspiration for ‘No Somos Nada’, Sachellys says, “The song’s concept came from a conversation where someone asked me about a past love, which inspired the line ‘de ti me preguntaron’. The song is really nostalgic, and gives me a feel of growing up in London during Tinie Tempah’s ‘Wifey Riddim’, and those N-Dubz moments in secondary school – these were our love songs from the ends. We’ve just put our Latin twist alongside this distinctively London-fuelled drill sound, so this is very organic and real to us. This song is a true reflection of UK Latin artistry and community — two Colombian artists, raised in the UK, deeply connected to both cultures”.

Kiko, on the other hand, shares how ‘No Somos Nada’ is “special because Sachellys and I grew up together. As soon as I heard the beat, I just knew this was the one. I literally wrote the verse in like 10 minutes – it flowed so naturally so I knew this was the one that we had to put out together. The fact that we’ve known each other for so long and we both make music, it just made so much sense to create a banger together for everyone to enjoy, and I feel like that's what we've done with ‘No Somos Nada’. It's been so long overdue, and we've actually done other songs together in the past, but I feel like we've both been doing our thing in the years since, which has built up to this moment. So, it's perfect timing”.
