Sammy Arriaga’s New Country Latino Project ‘Heart In Texas’ Due Oct. 31
Sammy Arriaga is offering fans a tasty fusion of his country and Cuban roots on his new bilingual album, Heart in Texas, due out Oct. 31 via Dead Rose Records/Walk Off Entertainment.
The 14-track project is an industry-first, offering seven tracks in English and six in Spanish with a Freddy Fender cover of “Before The Next Teardrop Falls,” making the listening experience seamless in its flow from English to Spanish. Along with the 10 songs Arriaga has released through 2025, he recorded two brand new songs: “On Purpose” and “Can’t Turn On The Radio.”
“Heart in Texas comes from a place of patience and purpose,” says Arriaga. “Since releasing my last album three years ago, I wanted to create something that brought both of my worlds together as one. Instead of separating English and Spanish versions, I let them breathe side by side, just like they do in my life. This album has a little bit of everything — fun songs to dance to, heartbreak ones to drink to, and romantic ones to make memories with. I’m proud to stand tall in my roots and to represent the community that sees itself in my story.”
Arriaga also showcases his sound with his “Country Latino Sessions” YouTube series, and has amassed more than two million social followers and recently surpassed 100 Million global music streams across DSPs. Leading up to his new album, he released 12 singles under the label partnership with Walk Off Entertainment, including English and Spanish versions of “Left My Heart In Texas,” “Moves Like Mexico” and “Born Again.”
