Chuwi, Hendry el Mero Mero & More Emerging Latin Artists on Our Radar

Here are the emerging Latin artists we are listening to and should be on your radar.

Composed by siblings Lorén on vocals, Willy on bass guitar, Wester on keyboards, and family friend Adrian on the drums, the group tastefully blends traditional Caribbean rhythms (plena, bomba, salsa) with soulful alternative melodies. With a velvety voice and an Afro-tropical vibe that is pleasant to the ear both musically and lyrically, he is preparing to release his debut album, Afro Rockstar, after presenting singles such as “Besitos Dulces” and “La Favorita de mi Mamá” in recent months. Born in Cuba and shaped by a decade in Ecuador, now based in New Jersey, Hendry’s musical journey has evolved from Latin rock to reggaetón, and most recently, a corridos tumbados fusion — a style he embraced after immersing himself with “la raza,” as he puts it, in the U.S.
