Colombian singer Charlie Zaa is paying tribute to the late Mexican icon Joan Sebastian in his new video for “Un Idiota,” out Friday (Oct. 30).
Helmed by Luieville (Maluma, Alexis & Fido, Larry Hernandez), it combines heavy drinking, tears, and fire to convey the regret of a man who let the love of his life go. The song was originally written and performed by Sebastian, who died on July 13 at age 64 after a battle with cancer.

Zaa tapped tropical veteran Sergio George as producer for the project, out Nov. 13 via Sony Music Latin.
