On the Spring Equinox of 2026, independent artist and Zanna Records founder Gianluca Zanna achieved a landmark moment in his global radio campaign: a new country confirmed on three separate continents in a single day, and a milestone crossing of new extra 1,399 verified WARM airplays — with the count climbing as of this release.
Across the Americas on March 21, 2026, three powerhouse stations independently spun Zanna’s music within the same twelve-hour window: Cadena Dance Bolivia in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Beat 100.9 FM in Mexico City, and — most strikingly — Los 40 Principales in Santiago, Chile. Together they paint a picture of an artist whose reach across Latin America now spans six countries and dozens of stations, with zero major label infrastructure behind him.
Today’s Confirmed New Stations — March 21, 2026
RADIO STATION | CITY | COUNTRY | SONG | DATE | DUR. |
Cadena Dance Bolivia | Santa Cruz de la Sierra | Bolivia 🇧🇴 | I Am Destiny | 03-21 | 1:29 |
Beat 100.9 FM | Mexico City | Mexico 🇲🇽 | I Am Destiny | 03-21 | 1:40 |
Los 40 Principales | Santiago | Chile 🇨🇱 | You Are My Destiny – remix | 03-21 | 1:10 |
New Country: Bolivia 🇧🇴
Cadena Dance Bolivia, broadcasting from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, aired “I Am Destiny” at 10:19 on March 21, 2026. Bolivia represents a brand-new country in the Zanna Records global airplay map — one of the most landlocked and culturally distinct nations in South America, with a rapidly expanding digital and FM radio infrastructure driven by a young, music-hungry population.
Cadena Dance Bolivia is part of the Cadena network, an established Latin American radio group dedicated to electronic dance and pop formats, reaching audiences across Bolivia’s major urban centers.
Mexico City: Beat 100.9 FM
Beat 100.9 FM is a flagship contemporary dance and pop FM station based in Mexico City, one of the largest radio markets in the Western Hemisphere with an urban audience of over 20 million people. The station aired “I Am Destiny” at 16:37 on March 21, 2026.
Mexico has been a consistent territory for Gianluca Zanna, with multiple stations now confirmed across the country, adding to existing airplay from Radio CUCBA in Guadalajara. The capital-city placement on Beat 100.9 FM marks a significant elevation in the quality and scale of that presence.
Los 40 Principales, Santiago — Latin America’s Premier Radio Brand
Of today’s three placements, none carries more symbolic weight than Los 40 Principales Santiago. Los 40 Principales is one of the most recognized and prestigious radio brands in the Spanish-speaking world, with flagship stations across Spain and Latin America. In Chile alone, the network reaches millions of weekly listeners.
The station aired “You Are My Destiny – remix” at 19:33 on March 21, 2026. This placement follows previous Chilean airplay via Positiva FM, a 14-station national network. Chile is now one of the most deeply penetrated Latin American markets for Zanna Records, with both a national network and the country’s most prestigious contemporary hit station in rotation.
Latin America Airplay — The Full Picture
Today’s additions bring the confirmed Latin American airplay footprint to six countries: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, and now Bolivia. Key stations across the region include:
Brazil: 20+ FM stations including Atlântida FM Porto Alegre, Atlântida FM Florianópolis, Radio Baixada Santista, KebradaVIP FM, and more across São Paulo State and the South

1,399 new extra Verified WARM Airplays • 213+ Stations • 54+ Countries
8 Latin American Countries • 6 Continents • Zero Major Label Backing
In His Own Words
“On the Spring Equinox — a day of global balance and new beginnings — Bolivia joined our ever-growing family of nations. I sent emails one by one from my ranch in Arizona. No publicist. No label machine. Just music, persistence, and the belief that great songs find their way to every corner of the world. Today, three countries in one day proved that belief right.”
