Fans won’t have to wait long for a taste of what’s to come, as the first single from the EP, “Una Última Vez,” is out now on all streaming platforms.

To bring this fiery vision to life, Stefanacci assembled a powerhouse lineup of musicians.

Adding a special touch to the EP is vocal sensation Richard Aveo, who lends his Latin flair to the sole vocal track and smooth jazz piano virtuoso Jay Rowe (Marion Meadows, Angela Bofill, Phil Perry, Ken Navarro).
Stefanacci, who composed, arranged, produced, and mastered the entire EP, showcases his versatility in En Fuego. With a discography that spans pop, funk, R&B, and smooth jazz, this new release marks his exhilarating debut into the world of Latin Jazz.
Stefanacci remarked about his new single, “‘Una Última Vez’ is a fiery Latin love song about a distant love and all you’re asking for is one more time.”
