Kenia OS, Anitta & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week
Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — is back with fresh new music. This week’s releases include a bunch of duets, such as Beéle and Marc Anthony (“Dios Me Oyó”), Ana Bárbara and Yahritza y Su Esencia (“Besos Robados”), Xavi and Netón Vega (“Hija de Papi”) and Kenia OS and Anitta (“En 4”).
Additionally, Ángela Aguilar shined on her mariachi single “Nadie Se Va Como Llegó,” an emotional ballad that showcases her remarkable vocal range and ability to convey raw emotion. Accompanied by sweeping string arrangements and powerful blaring horns, the song encapsulates the essence of modern mariachi while staying rooted in its timeless traditions. In just 2:30 minutes, Ángela delivers a heart-wrenching performance, balancing vulnerability and strength with remarkable poise.
Argentine acts Miranda! and Nicki Nicole team up to deliver a kitschy electro-pop track on “Hace Rato.” Driven by a pulsating beat and shimmering synths, the song strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity. Lyrically, “Hace Rato” unpacks the unraveling of a relationship, exploring themes of neglect, unmet expectations and emotional distance. The track’s infectious rhythm contrasts with its bittersweet lyrics, making it equally suited for the dance floor and contemplative listening.
Other highlights in this week’s playlist include the brooding corridos tumbados by rising Mexican star Estevan Plazola, “Vibrar +,” the insatiable R&B-trap cut “Mi Kilito” by ROA and the electifying flamenco-música mexicana fusion “Te Quiero Y Me Miento” by powerhouse collaboration Carín León, Diego El Cigala and Chanela Clicka.
