Carín León Drops ‘Boca Chueca, Vol. 1’ Album & More New Music Latin
New albums from Carin León, Olga Tañón and more. Check out new releases in Latin music this week.
From pop (“Otra Vez”), R&B (“Despídase Bien”) corridos tumbados (“Casi Oficial), alt-rock (“Frené Mis Pies”) and even cumbia ska (“No Sé” with Panteón Rococó), it’s important to note that León doesn’t totally abandon the norteño sound that made him the star that he is. Led by producer Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde, Fletcher), and inspired in music they listened to since their childhood, the Montaner brothers created songs using entirely acoustic arrangements, a lot of horns and brass, while experimenting with pop, funk, Latin and urban sounds. The result is Hotel Caracas, a 16-track set that includes the previously released singles “Vas a Destrozarme,” “Pasado Mañana,” the Guaynaa-assisted “Gran Día” and “Canción 2,” as well as collaborations with Arcángel on “Hasta Olvidarte” and Ilegales in “Espectacular.” Each comes with a music video filmed in different corners of Venezuela, along with a 15-episode documentary on their exciting journey, directed by Daniel Durán and available here.
