\n\tBomba Est\u00e9reo & Carlos Vives, \u201cLa Samaria\u201d (Sony Music Latin)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tBomba Est\u00e9reo sings about its native Santa Marta in Colombia, and does so in a duet with the prodigal son of that Caribbean land, superstar and vallenato icon Carlos Vives. The union results in a colorful, rhythmic and festive song that celebrates the spirit of Santa Marta and that city, the oldest in Colombia, on its 500th anniversary. The impeccable fusion between the organic and the electronic sounds, distinctive of the band led by vocalist Li Saumet, highlights the Caribbean drums, synthesizers and vallenato-style guitars converging at the same point. The lyrics, meanwhile, reflect the emotional bond of its performers with that mystical land at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, and the nostalgia they feel every time they return. The piece marks the group\u2019s return after its ASTROPICAL project with Rawayana. \u2014 NATALIA CANO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tDelilah, \u201cLa Peli\u201d (Interscope Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tThe 18-year-old singer-songwriter\u2019s dulcet vocals take center stage in \u201cLa Peli,\u201d a pop ballad track at its core that blends modern regional Mexican acoustic guitars, giving it that corrido tumbado twist. The song\u2019s lyrics tug at your heartstrings as Delilah narrates the story of a failed relationship and that lingering question of what might have been. The Interscope-signed artist adds pathos to her delivery, striking the perfect balance between vulnerability and resilience. \u2014 GRISELDA FLORE<\/em>S<\/p>\n\n\tNathy Peluso & Rawayana, \u201cMalportada\u201d (Sony Music Espa\u00f1a)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tArgentine star Nathy Peluso and Venezuelan trippy pop group Rawayana join forces on this powerful salsa song. Co-written in Puerto Rico by Manuel Lara, Servando Primera and Beto Montenegro of Rawayana, \u201cMalportada\u201d (Spanish for \u201cMisbehaved\u201d) combines the old-school salsa sound with contemporary elements \u2014 including lyrics that are as funny as they are irreverent. Here, Peluso challenges the masculine narrative that has historically characterized the genre: \u201cThe more they tell me \u2018no\u2019\/ The more I want to do it\/ It doesn\u2019t matter if I get punished for it,\u201d she sings, while Montenegro replies, \u201cMy name is Alberto Horacio\/ My last name is Shameless\/ And that\u2019s precisely why you think of me,\u201d offering a glimpse of this mischievous relationship.\u00a0\u2014 SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tLa Nueva Ola de la Cumbia, \u201cLucha Libre\u201d (FONO)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tThe positive energy of the group La Nueva Ola de la Cumbia is transmitted from start to finish in \u201cLucha Libre,\u201d not only because of its danceable and highly contagious rhythm, but also because of its positive message that encourages listeners to fight to achieve their goals and dreams in life. The song is an original track, an about face for a group that is known for singing covers. With their masks, they keep their best-kept secret: the identity of the members. \u2014 TERE AGUILERA<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tSanta Fe Klan, \u201cWuare\u201d (473 Music)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\tTrue to his roots in uplifting the legacy of cumbia sonidera, the Mexican rapper now ventures further south to flip cumbia villera \u2014 the famed Argentinian genre known for its infectious keytar riffs \u2014 on its head with his latest single, \u201cWuare.\u201d Raw, sweaty, and steeped in debauchery, the track chronicles a spiral of booze, heartbreak, and nights lost in a haze of resistol fumes, all layered with his signature gritty rap flow. But it\u2019s the keytar solos that steal the show, with Santa Fe Klan shredding contagious licks like a man possessed, all while looking\u00a0bien tumbado<\/em>. From the alleys of Guanajuato to late-night parties everywhere, \u201cWuare\u201d hits like a bad decision you just can\u2019t help but repeat.\u00a0\u2014 ISABELA RAYGOZA<\/em><\/p>\n\n\tCheck out more Latin recommendations this week below<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n
