Experience the sound of 2021 with this collection of some of the biggest latin pop hits of the year.
- Bad Bunny, "Yonaguni" A mix of vulnerable emo lyrics and chill reggaetón beats brings “Yonaguni” to life giving the Puerto Rican superstar a newly alternative, perreo sound.
- C. Tangana, "Tu Me Dejaste de Querer" One of the most experimental artists around, C. Tangana is impossible to box in one genre. In El Madrileño, he combines contemporary pop with tradition and folklore.
- Calibre 50, “A La Antiguita" Calibre 50’s “A La Antiguita (Like the Old Days)” is an ode to the type of romance that, nowadays, is far from common: Chivalry at its peak, with “serenades, kisses, flowers and letters,” as Eden Muñoz (who has “lots of love to spare”) sings.
- Camilo, "Vida de Rico" Armed with a ukulele, a wistful voice and lyrics that are innocent but oh so clever (“I can’t give you a dime, but I can give you a thousand kisses/ I have little to take you out with, but slow dancing is free”), Colombia’s Camilo changed the sound of Latin pop, making what could be considered corny sound cool.
