“Un Pañuelo” (the title translates as “A Handkerchief”) is the third single from Iseo & Dodosound’s fifth album Volando, out 16 January on Twin Cats Records. The Pamplona duo wrote it while touring, putting ideas together between stages, airport waiting rooms and the small gaps that appear on the road.

Formed in 2014, Iseo & Dodosound work from reggae and dub, then pull in trip-hop, drum’n’bass, Latin music and pop depending on the song. Their debut Cat Platoon came out in 2015. In 2024 they released En la Tormenta, their first album written fully in Spanish, and took it to sold-out rooms across Spain and Latin America, reaching well beyond the usual reggae audience.

“Un Pañuelo” brings more musicians into their studio set-up. Rodrigo Ulises “El Niño” plays drums, Pablo Cano plays bass, Javier Ochoa plays guitars and Chavi Ontoria is on keyboards and piano. The Mousehunters horn section sits on top, with Diego Aragon on trumpet, Ignacio Sánchez on tenor and baritone saxophone and Ferran Verdú on trombone, giving the track a solid brass presence while Iseo’s vocal line stays clear.

She sings in Spanish and the lyrics match the title. The repeated lines “Pa los que ponen nombre a dioses en el cielo / Yo siempre he estado bendecida por el suelo” translate as “For those who give names to gods in the sky / I have always been blessed by the ground”, grounding the song in a perspective that looks to earth and everyday life. Further on, verses move into direct advice about guilt, sadness and release, with lines that urge the listener not to let guilt switch off the heart, not to let sadness cloud judgement and to break the chain and dance in the sun.

A Spanish venue tour around Volando starts in late January and runs through spring 2026.
