Known for fusing sounds and bringing his own sazón to stages worldwide, Rauw is joining Buchanan's longstanding celebration and support of Latin Music – inspiring 200%ers to proudly share the rhythm and flavors that make their asados so unique, while proving that Buchanan's is the spirit that brings us all together at the table despite our differences on the grill.
Whether you call it a carne asada, parrillada, or asado, the Buchanan's Asados Unidos campaign agrees that this Hispanic occasion has more sazón, bateria, and rhythm than others, so bring your flavorful traditions, energy, and beats to the grill this summer while enjoying a Buchanita cocktail.
The new creative, developed by GALE rooted in the same embrace of culture and customs that inspired Rauw's latest No. 1 album and current Cosa Nuestra Tour, comes to life through a dynamic four-part video series featuring Rauw Alejandro and friends from Puerto Rico, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. Set against sunny backdrops, the series captures the real-life ways Latinos come together to enjoy bold flavors, family and friendship as the group grills, laughs and playfully tease one another over subtle cultural differences – like what music makes the best companion to grilling from Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton or Bomba. Launching across digital platforms throughout the summer, the :15 video spots celebrate the distinct flavors and rhythm of 200% grilling traditions.
"Desde mi niñez, Parrilladas siempre han sido parte de mi cultura y mi gente," says global superstar Rauw Alejandro. "Being the newest part of the Buchanan's familia and participating in the Asados Unidos campaign is special because it celebrates something very important to me – the way we come together. Whether it's called a barbecue, carne asada, parrillada, or asado, the heart is the same: sabor, música y comunidad. Stay tuned for what we're cooking up next!"
"Rauw Alejandro's artistic vision and message behind 'Cosa Nuestra' are perfectly aligned with what we've always aimed to do with Buchanan's, and that is celebrate the vibrant duality and deep sense of community of 200%ers—those who are 100% Hispanic and 100% American," says Linda Lagos-Morales, Brand Director, Buchanan's Scotch Whisky. "This summer, Asados Unidos brings that spirit to life through the cultural cornerstone of the Asado—honoring the traditions, flavors and friendly debates that unite us around the grill. With Rauw Alejandro joining the Buchanan's familia, we're excited to show that no matter what you call it, the pride, passion and 200% spirit are what bring us together."
Following Buchanan's onstage bar debut during the groundbreaking U.S. leg of Rauw's acclaimed Cosa Nuestra World Tour and after party presence in Los Angeles, Miami, NYC, Chicago and Houston, Buchanan's is bringing the asado debate to high-energy local events such as Toñita Fest in New York City.
To inspire 200%ers elevate their asados this summer, Buchanan's is also partnering with three Latin-American grillmasters to create recipes showcasing the rich flavors and culture of the ultimate asado deliciously paired with one of the Buchanan's signature cocktails below, making it the go-to grilling companion of the season.
Rauw Fashioned – A take on the traditional cocktail blending the sweet richness of figs with the vibrant zest of oranges, reflecting Rauw's Sicilian and Puerto Rican roots in one bold, flavorful cocktail with Buchanan's DeLuxe.
Buchanita – The brand's iconic serve bursts with tropical flavor and is topped with a naturally vibrant foam, it is a tribute to summer grilling and 200% flair in a glass with just Buchanan's DeLuxe and Fresh Pineapple Juice.
Piña Spritz – This light, crisp, and full of tropical zest cocktail is the perfect summer-ready sip with just three simple ingredients: Buchanan's Pineapple, Club Soda and Coconut Water with a chili-lime rim.

Scheana Shay Had Awkward Encounters With John Mayer
Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay revealed what allegedly happened when she ran into her ex-boyfriend John Mayer last year, which was incredibly awkward. So, the reality TV star's memoir, My Good Side, is out, and she's sharing the details about her romances with rather popular celebrities. Talking with People, Scheana opened up about her romance with seven-time Grammy winner John Mayer in 2008. In her memoir, Scheana shared that she met John in 2008 while working at his birthday event, when he was dating Jennifer Aniston. Scheana claims they weren't exclusive and were casually dating for six months. In the book, she also revealed that her romance with John overlapped with her relationship with Eddie Cibrian, the ex-husband of fellow Bravolebrity Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville. Scheana said that her romance with John ended after one of her friends allegedly went to the tabloids about their relationship. An excerpt of the book reads, "Once it was public, he didn't want to speak to me or see me anymore," according to People. Scheana apparently ran into John recently and shared how awkward the whole situation was, and now I'm getting secondhand embarrassment. Sheana said she bumped into John at ChainFEST two years ago, a gourmet food chain festival in Los Angeles. "I saw him, and I awkwardly give him a hug, like, 'Hey, and then made a joke like, 'Oh, we should get a photo.' And he was like, 'No.' And I was like, 'I was kind of kidding.' But yeah, that was awkward," she told the publication. Scheana said she also ran into the "Waiting On the World to Change" singer again in 2024, but went about the encounter differently, yet it was still an awkward mess. "I didn't even go in for the hug," she remembered. "He went out for a handshake. I'm like, 'Well, this is awkward, too." Have you ever had a super awkward encounter with an ex? Share your stories in the comments or use this anonymous form to get really honest. We reached out to a rep for John, and we'll let you know if we hear back.

Country music and Grand Ole Opry icon Jeannie Seely dies at 85
Country music legend Jeannie Seely – who broke new ground and shattered glass ceilings in the genre – has died in hospice care. Her rep Don Murry Grubbs confirmed the news Friday, Aug. 1 to The Tennessean, a part of the USA TODAY Network. The country soul singer appeared on the Grand Ole Opry radio program more times than any other performer and was the first singer to record a live album on the Opry stage. "I feel very fortunate to be part of the Opry tradition and I truly am indebted to all the wonderful fans who have supported me over the years," Seely once said, according to Her record for Opry appearances stands at 5,397 followed by Bill Anderson. Raised on a farm in Pennsylvania, she performed on local radio and television shows as a child and made her own breaks in the music business. Dolly Parton's new Nashville hotel: Music venues, hologram, museum, actual Cup of Ambition Later, in the early 1960s, she moved to Los Angeles, and worked for a time at a Beverly Hills bank. Seely was so determined to get into the music business that she took a job as a secretary at a record company. As a secretary, she started writing songs. Seely worked with seven-time Grammy winner Randy Newman – a mainstay in the music industry – to finish her first song, "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" which became a hit for blues singer Irma Thomas. She co-wrote songs with Glen Campbell ("Senses") and wrote another song ("It Just Takes Practice") that was recorded by Dottie West. She toured in the western United States in 1964-65 and met Hank Cochran, the country music star from Mississippi who became her first husband. Later, moved to Nashville for good in 1965, and she first appeared on the Opry stage in 1966. Seely later told The Tennessean that "every emotion a person could feel was going through my mind and body, from nerves to sheer terror" during that first Opry performance. How Jeannie Sealy's miniskirt made country music history In 1968, a record year arrived for Seely: she became a full-time Opry member and won the third Grammy ever for best female country performance. The same year, Seely shocked the country music world, known for its traditional values, when she appeared on the Grand Ole Opry stage in a miniskirt. "The relevance of that miniskirt was that I got away with wearing what my choice was," Seely told The Tennessean. "It didn't mean that all the other girls could wear a miniskirt. When I did that and got away with it, they were allowed to ... wear whatever they wanted to wear." Jeannie Seely at 80: Opry trailblazer releases new music with a little help from her friends Her trailblazing didn't end with her wardrobe choices. In the 1960s and '70s, women were not allowed to host the Grand Ole Opry show. Seely would often ask: 'Did you ever notice how much that smells like discrimination?" And she became so popular, she got cast on "The Porter Wagoner Show," a musical variety program. When Seely left the show to tour the country, she was replaced by Dolly Parton. In 1977, she survived a serious car accident that broke her jaw and ribs when she crashed into a tree in Tennessee. Another Grand Ole Opry barrier broken for Jeannie Sealy In 1985, Seely became the first woman to host a half-hour segment of the Grand Ole Opry. "That was a hard-won battle. That wasn't just given to me,' she said, later adding, 'that was a door that I kicked in incessantly to get open." After her hosting gig, there was a flood of women who hosted. Dollywood is 40 years old, and Dolly Parton says it's time to visit "When I saw Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, that era come up — they were able to walk out there (and) host a segment without that pressure, that stigma," Seely said. "I'm very proud of that." Through the years, Seely worked with seemingly every luminary in country music. She wrote songs for Ernest Tubb and Merle Haggard. She produced an album by Little Jimmy Dickens. She sang duets with Jack Greene and Willie Nelson. Seely tried acting, too, and made a cameo in the 1980 film "Honeysuckle Rose" which starred Nelson. She divorced her ex-husband Cochran in 1979 and married Nashville lawyer Gene Ward, who died last year, in 2010. Jeannie Sealy's 2025: Two abdominal surgeries, a bout with pneumonia Earlier this year, Seely underwent surgery on her back and suffered through complications that required more surgery. She had abdominal surgery in April. Then, she caught pneumonia. Seely wrote a blog post in May on her website, "Jeannie Seely Miss Country Soul." "Over the past several weeks, I've received so many wonderful messages of love and concern about being missed on the Grand Ole Opry and on 'Sundays with Seely' on Willie's Roadhouse," she told fans. "Thank you for those, and I assure you that I miss you just as much!" Sunny Sweeney honors Jeannie Seely at Grand Ole Opry: 'Our North Star has passed' Seely hoped that she could "count on that support as I struggle through this recovery process," revealing that she had multiple back surgeries in March, two emergency abdominal surgeries in April and then 11 days in the intensive care unit plus a bout with pneumonia. "Rehab is pretty tough but each day is looking brighter and last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. And it was neon, so I knew it was mine! The unsinkable Seely is working her way back." In Nashville and beyond, the unsinkable Seely – who lifted all boats – will be remembered always.
