This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music from artists such as Grupo Frontera, Fuerza Regida, Elsa y Elmar, Monsieur Periné and more.
Mexican-American ensemble Grupo Frontera has teamed up with Romeo Santos for “Ángel,” a sweet bachata track produced by Santos, Edgar Barrera and Casta. The mainly bachata song also incorporates Frontera’s signature norteño accordion for this innovative bachata-regional mashup.
Meanwhile, Elsa y Elmar unleashed “Ké MaL,” the fourth single from her upcoming album PALACIO. “When I was a little girl, my dad used to tell me something that his dad said, and I never quite understood it,” the Colombian artist said about the pop song in a statement. “Until recently, and when I got it, I wrote this song. But this is not a love song or a breakup song. This is a ‘it is what it is’ kind of song. Sometimes in life and in love, things just don’t line up and that’s ‘Ké MaL’.”
Other new releases include Monsieur Periné’s team up with Bejuco for “Jardín del Paraíso” — in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund for the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem — and Piso 21 and Ozuna’s first collab “Fichaje del Año.” Plus, Fuerza Regida dropped their highly-anticipated new album Pero No Te Enamores.
Last week, Lasso and Sofía Reyes’ “Siempre Llegas Tarde” won the poll, bringing in more than 48% of the votes. Who should win this week? Give these new releases a spin and vote on them below.
