On the Radar Latin: Jacqie Rivera, Sophie Castillo & More Artists to Discover


See our On the Radar Latin recommendations for March, in honor of Women’s History Month.

Composed of frontwoman Lorena Pulgar, Martín Pérez Roa and Felipe Zenteno, all masters of synths, this Chilean trio has spent years crafting a sound that’s equal parts introspective and euphoric — a delicate balance of dreamy textures and irresistible pop melodies. According to a press release, the new album “raises the group’s BPM, where elements of 2-step and ‘80s synthpop breathe extra life into the band’s atmospheric sound.” And the single perfectly sets the tone for a bold new chapter in Chile’s synth-pop evolution. With a thick British accent, Castillo — whose mom is Colombian and father is Cuban — spoke to me about her efforts to help grow the Latin music scene in London with her indie-pop sound laced with beats of reggaetón and bachata.
