Ecuadorian singer Brenda has officially landed in Chile to represent her country at the 2026 Viña del Mar International Song Festival. She announced her arrival on February 17 through her Instagram account with an enthusiastic video greeting, signaling the beginning of her participation in this prestigious musical event. Brenda will present her song "Capullito," which aims to blend traditional Ecuadorian rhythms with contemporary sounds, celebrating the rich cultural identity of Ecuador.

Brenda's selection to perform at Viña del Mar comes after her dedication to steadily building her career rooted in her musical heritage, rather than through mass exposure. Originating from Guayaquil, Brenda is influenced by both Sierra and Costa regions of Ecuador, which has deeply informed her artistic approach and musical style. Her participation in the festival not only highlights her talent but also serves as a platform to showcase Ecuadorian culture on an international stage.

The Viña del Mar festival is renowned for bringing together artists from various Latin American countries, making it a significant event in the region's music calendar. Brenda's performance is expected to captivate audiences as she brings her unique sound and cultural narrative to a broader audience. As she steps onto this international platform, there is hope that her music will resonate and generate interest in Ecuadorian artistry among festival-goers, further enhancing the visibility of the nation's cultural contributions.
