Global Flow begins with Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra, who joins Dramos for a candid conversation about building a career without following a formula.

He also breaks down why he refuses to be defined by genre, the deeper writing behind Milagro, recording with his father, and how “Dos Oruguitas” became part of Disney and Latin history through Encanto.
