Patrón Tequila, the world's number one ultra-premium tequila, is announcing a powerful new campaign that proves, when masterfully combined, a few natural elements can create perfection. 

Inspired by the traditional, handcrafted Patrón process that takes only natural ingredients through a time-honoured production method to create the finest tequila in the world, this campaign features three unique voices singing a 'simple yet perfect' a cappella version of the ballad, Gracias a la Vida.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez, Grammy-nominated Amber Mark and genre-bending singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fousheé honour this Grammy Hall of Fame song, one of the most beloved Latin American songs in history, which like Patrón celebrates the beauty and perfection of simplicity. Gracias a la Vida is a positive, moving, and grateful tribute to all that life gives us, including elements of nature and the senses we have to enjoy them, a fitting parallel to Patrón Tequila, which is made from natural ingredients, masterfully combined, to create tequila perfection.

In order to create a uniquely memorable rendition of the classic song that provides a parallel for the inventive tequila-making craft of Patrón, the brand enlisted acclaimed Grammy-winning producer-composer Andres Levin. Maintaining the original essence and Spanish lyrics of Gracias a la Vida, Levin's use of a cappella for the campaign reflects the Patrón rejection of unnecessary processing that would distract from the quality of the ingredients that go into making its tequila. 

The effect is a modern and unexpected take on a classic song paired with strikingly beautiful and natural imagery that echoes the Patrón production process.

The song will be unveiled in a new TV ad and long-form music video created by MullenLowe LA, directed by Leo Aguirre through Stink.

The campaign will also be available in :60, :30, and :15 second versions across broadcast and digital platforms.
