Majo Aguilar’s New Album ‘Mariachi Mío’ & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors.
Of its two collaborations, Alex Fernández lends vocals to the ranchera “Cuéntame,” while rapper Santa Fe Klan contrasts with a tumbado-infused blend on “Luna Azul.” With her new release, Aguilar reclaims mariachi as her own, remaining rooted in its foundational spirit to forge a fresh path forward. Produced by Jorge Milliano, the track perfectly blends the Colombian artist’s urban swagger with the Dominican act’s mambo essence, bringing to life an energetic merengue electrónico backed by ferocious güira and conga beats. Among these, you’ll find bachata rhythms in “A 150” and “Amor Chiquito”; and an infectious merengue track in “digo que no, pero si” in collaboration with Sabino—all which beautifully showcase Mares’ ability to blend traditional sounds with a contemporary flair.
