Elena Rose, Camilo, Cazzu, & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week
Written by djfrosty on April 25, 2025
This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including new albums by Boza (San Blas), Cazzu (Latinaje), and Natalia Lafourcade (Cancionera).
In an unexpected but much-needed collaboration, Elena Rose teamed up with Los Ángeles Azules and Camilo for “Carteras Chinas.” The Venezuelan songstress and Colombian crooners melodic and soothing vocals pair perfectly with Los Ángeles’ hip-swiveling cumbia tune. “There are so many fake things, there are more Chinese bags than people who love with their hearts, but that’s what you and I are for,” they sing a song that celebrates real love.
Juanes, on the other hand, taps into the vintage sounds of the ’60s and ’70s for “Una Noche Contigo.” Fusing vintage soul, blues, and rock influences from Otis Redding, Juan Gabriel, José José, and The Beatles, the ballad describes the magic behind falling in love unexpectedly: “I wasn’t looking for you/And I found you unintentionally/Among the people dancing/I approached without thinking,” he sings.

Meanwhile, Boza dropped a nine-track album called San Blas, where he remains true to his signature reggae plena sound but incorporates a lot of afrobeat and amapiano rhythms. His new era is notably heard in his two previously-released collaborations, “Orión” with Elena Rose and “Todavía” with Greeicy.
Other new releases this week include Young Miko’s “Wassup,” Fariana and Kiko El Crazy’s “Me Muevo,” and Ivy Queen’s “Casi Casi.” Last week, fans crowned Kenia OS and Anitta’s “En 4” as their favorite release, garnering over 70% of the vote.
