Miami FL (Dec 1, 2025) — Every December, global powerhouse Ryan Castro gifts his fans a new anthem to kick off the holiday season, and this year, he once again steps into Colombia’s favorite alter ego, Richy, for the release of “Mi Fortuna” alongside longtime collaborator and producer SOG.
Rooted in the sounds of his Colombian upbringing, “Mi Fortuna” blends rhythmic nostalgia with Castro’s signature humor and storytelling. The track spotlights the real struggles that many face in the daily hustle, the ambition to move forward, and the dream of a better life, all while honoring the warmth, and traditions of barrio culture. Through its lyrics, Castro contrasts the grind of the present with the fantasy of a more prosperous future, delivering a song that is both playful and relatable. The music video also features standout celebrities J Balvin, Faustino “Tino” Asprilla, and Esperanza Gomez.
With “Mi Fortuna,” Castro continues a fan-favorite tradition of December drops, joining a catalog of holiday releases that have become synonymous with his career. His past year-end anthems include the viral 2021 hit “Mujeriego”; fan favorites “El Pan de Estefanía” and “La Garrafa” (2022); “Richy El Pichón” and “El Bote” (2023); and last year’s hit “El Chucu Chucu” with Juanes (2024).
“Mi Fortuna” arrives on the heels of a historic year for Castro. He recently wrapped the first phase of his Sendé World Tour in support of his chart-topping albums Sendé and Hopi Sendé, delivering explosive, sold-out shows across Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. He also made history in Medellín, selling out Estadio Atanasio Girardot, a 45,000-capacity venue, in just two hours — marking the biggest concert of his career and his only show in Colombia in 2026, set for April 25th. Additionally, Ryan Castro sold out Bogotá’s Coliseo MedPlus, drawing more than 20,000 attendees and selling out in under five hours. These two major concerts, both selling out within mere hours, further solidify his position as a global ambassador of Colombia’s sound and culture.
Beyond music, Castro continues to expand his cultural footprint. His collaboration with Jumbo Chocolates sold more than 1.2 million units, becoming one of the most successful brand campaigns in Colombian entertainment in recent years. Earlier this year, he also became the first Colombian artist to own a basketball team, acquiring Paisas Basketball.
