Upon completion of its fourth U.S. tour, the band will begin its first international stadium tour, Antes De Que Amanezca, this summer, starting in Madrid on June 21, and making stops in Caracas, Quito, Santo Domingo, and concluding in Mexico City on December 13.
In their Billboard News interview, with Billboard‘s Leila Cobo, chief content officer of Latin/Español, the Colombian pop rock band delved into the nuances of their musical journey, marked by their first-ever stadium tour, their reflections on Latin identity stateside, singing with Grupo Frontera and the impact of their music across borders.
Isaza highlighted the magnitude of their tour in the group’s chat with Billboard. “Fortunately, [the music] has been climbing [up the charts], and the truth is that we have been very surprised by what happened this year,” he pointed out.
The conversation also touched upon the band’s role in the evolving landscape of Latin music, which has expanded beyond urbano to include more traditional sounds. This was highlighted by their 2018 song “No Se Va” getting covered by Tejano band Grupo Frontera last year on the latter’s debut album El Comienzo, becoming a viral sensation that introduced Morat to audiences in a new light. “Our song was a grain of sand in everything that is happening with the expansion of genres in Latin music,” added Isaza. The two bands also recently teamed up to sing the song together.
“The first time we experienced that [kind of success] was through Grupo Frontera with their version of the song. So for us it was crazy because it hasn’t always been [like that], and from here on it will obviously continue to be a very important song for us,” Isaza noted.
Bassist Simón Vargas Morales offered his thoughts on the unique connection Morat feels with the Latin community in the United States. “The feeling of the Latin community is different,” he shared. “In the end, we all become part of a migrant community, which creates a bond that is beautiful and unlike anything we experience when touring through Latin America.”
Additionally, drummer Martín Vargas Morales shared his excitement about the band’s impact and the reception of their music in stadiums, particularly their sold-out show in Bogotá at El Campín: “I feel that especially the one in Bogota, that one in particularly hits differently.”

Juan Pablo Isaza: Hi, everybody! We are Morat, and you’re watching Billboard News.
Leila Cobo: Morat, welcome to Billboard.
Morat: Thank you.
Leila Cobo: You’re finishing the stadium tour in the United States, first stadium tour.
Morat: A lot.
Leila Cobo: Yes it is a lot. And you’re a pop-rock group in the United States, singing in Spanish. I think the only other group who did that is Maná.
Morat: Wow! That’s huge.
Leila Cobo: Have you ever imagined that in an urban world, you were going to be doing this?
Morat: It was a dream. We’ve dreamed of it. But we didn’t imagine it like that. This is our fourth tour in the United States.
Juan Pablo Isaza: In the first one, we didn’t expect anything in particular. The mindset has always been as long as it’s in the United States, we’ll go. Anywhere.
Leila Cobo: To a friend’s apartment.
Juan Pablo Isaza: And it has been growing. Fortunately, this year surprised us.
Leila Cobo: You played in Miami at the Kaseya Center, which is like “Colombia central,” right? How did it feel to go out into that stadium and see 15,000 there? It was sold out. Confess, did you cry?
Morat: No. No, this group does not cry.
