What’s Your Favorite New Latin Music Release This Week?

This week, fresh new music has hit the Latin scene, with releases from artists such as Mike Bahía, Javiera Mena, Kapo, and more. Curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors, this selection showcases the diverse talent and sounds emerging in the genre.

In an exciting first-time collaboration, Kenia OS has teamed up with DJ Steve Aoki for the track “Replay.” This song shifts from sugary pop to thumping EDM, highlighting Kenia’s versatility. “This track represents something big not only for me, but also to put Mexico on the global map,” said the Mexican artist in a press statement. “I’ve always been a fan of Steve Aoki, and together we captured the essence of an endless night. I wanted to deliver a unique song, and working with the coolest DJ in the world was the best way to do it.”

Grupo Firme also dropped a vibrant dance track titled “Chula,” featuring Demi Lovato. The song combines electronic beats with banda elements. “Demi Lovato is an artist whom we’ve admired since we were kids,” said Eduin Caz of Grupo Firme in an interview. “We would watch her on television.”

Colombian newcomer Kapo released a feel-good afrobeat tune called “UWAIE.” His distinct, raspy vocals convey peace, assurance, and motivation through the lyrics. “You’re beautiful and you deserve it all/ Loving you is my necessity/ I like everything about you/take away that insecurity is my necessity,” Kapo sings in this Gangsta-produced track.

This week also saw new studio albums from Nio García and Eden Muñoz. These releases, alongside a tribute to Mike Bahía’s roots in “Cali Buenaventura” and Javiera Mena’s emotional “Volver a Llorar,” provide a rich assortment of new sounds for fans to explore.

Last week, the collaboration between Kim Loaiza and Codiciado on “QuesoXTE” emerged victorious in a poll, garnering more than 68% of the votes. This week’s competition is set, and fans are encouraged to listen to these new releases and cast their votes for their favorite.
