Desperados, the beer brand, has partnered with Nigerian artiste and producer Young Jonn to release a new song, ‘Let It Go’, as part of efforts to strengthen its connection with younger consumers through music and cultural experiences.
The collaboration combines Latin music with Afrobeats, using the growing influence of Nigerian music and nightlife culture to create a platform for brand engagement and audience interaction.
Produced by Yung Willis, the song draws inspiration from :Guao Guao’, a reggaeton track developed by Desperados in partnership with Venezuelan artiste Micro TDH and Colombian producer Ovy On The Drums.
Built around a sample of the original recording, ‘Let It Go’ blends Latin-inspired rhythms with Young Jonn’s distinctive Afrobeats sound, creating a musical experience that connects the brand’s Latin roots with Nigeria’s vibrant entertainment scene.
Desperados said the initiative reflects its strategy of engaging younger audiences through music, culture and premium experiences, positioning the brand around self-expression and social connections.
The partnership also provides an avenue for the brand to extend engagement beyond traditional advertising, encouraging fans to recreate dance moves and share their interpretations of the song through lifestyle content.
Yung Willis, a Grammy-nominated producer, brings experience working with prominent African artistes, including Wizkid, Davido, Kizz Daniel, Falz, Niniola, BNXN, Zlatan, Patoranking and Ice Prince.
Young Jonn’s ability to incorporate international influences into a distinctly Nigerian sound was central to the collaboration, Desperados said.
The brand described ‘Let It Go’ as more than a musical fusion, saying it represents an effort to connect with consumers through shared experiences, entertainment and self-expression.
Through the release, Desperados is using music as a cultural marketing platform to bring its international identity closer to local audiences and create opportunities for consumers to interact with the brand beyond the product itself.
