\n\tRyan Castro, Grupo Frontera, \u201cAPODO\u201d (AWOO Corp.\/Sony Music Latin)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tOn their first collaborative effort, Ryan Castro and Grupo Frontera unwrap \u201cApodo\u201d (nickname): Produced by Latin hitmaker Edgar Barrera, and co-written by Barrera, Castro, and Andr\u00e9s Jael Correa Rios, the song laces Frontera\u2019s modern-day norte\u00f1o melodies around Castro\u2019s breezy Caribbean reggae beats. Sonically, the tune is laid-back and fun, but lyrically, it\u2019s heart-wrenching, referring to a person who was not loved nor respected in a relationship. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t hurt to see you with another man\/ it hurts that you gave this love another name\/ almost something\/ a madness\/ a hook-up\/ an adventure\/ the mistake of your life,\u201d says the catchy but heartbreaking chorus. The music video\u2014showcasing both act\u2019s fun vibes and chemistry\u2014was filmed in McAllen, Texas, where Grupo Frontera and Barrera are from. \u2014\u00a0JESSICA ROIZ<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tCarlos Vives, Grupo Niche, \u201cLa Tierra del Olvido\u201d (Versi\u00f3n Salsa) (Gaira M\u00fasica Local)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tThe Pacific and the Colombian Caribbean embrace in this salsa version of \u201cLa Tierra del Olvido\u201d (The Land of Oblivion), a Carlos Vives classic that now takes on a new life alongside the legendary Grupo Niche. This profoundly Colombian tribute unites two of the country\u2019s most representative genres: Vives\u2019 signature vallenato-pop and the Cali salsa that Niche has brought to the world. In the performance, the voices alternate fluidly, and the salsa-inspired arrangement reaches its climax in the musical bridge, as they chant: \u201cWaiting for you to come back \/ with me \/ to the land of oblivion.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThe song doesn\u2019t need a complex video: it shows Vives and Grupo Niche in the studio, sharing the energy of the recording and performing salsa moves. Also interspersed are images from the original video and a touching nod to maestro Jairo Varela, founder of Niche. \u2014 LUISA CALLE<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tDoctor Nativo, \u201cCaminantes\u201d ft. Roco Pachukote (Stonetree Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tWith \u201cCaminantes,\u201d Doctor Nativo delivers an electrifying mariachi-tinged ska single that bridges borders, histories, and generations. The track, featuring Roco Pachukote (the Maldita Vecindad frontman), pulses with jubilant rhythms and sharp brassy flourishes, paying tribute to Mayan elder Tata Pedro Cruz and his peaceful pilgrimage for world unity. Rooted in Guatemalan spirituality yet enriched by Mexican ska energy, Nativo crafts a vibrant ode to migration, resistance, and ancestral wisdom. It\u2019s an upbeat call to leave comfort zones, connect with nature, and walk in solidarity. Produced with dynamic precision, \u201cCaminantes\u201d teems with both jubilance and mindfulness. A fitting preview of Nativo\u2019s forthcoming\u00a0BarrioKandela<\/em>, this song celebrates cultural fusion and unwavering hope. It\u2019s punchy, spirited, and deeply moving. (Tata Pedro\u2019s family and movement will receive a share of proceeds earned from this song.) \u2014\u00a0ISABELA RAYGOZA<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tZo\u00e9, \u201cCampo de Fuerza\u201d (Universal Music Group M\u00e9xico)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
