Tokischa & Nathy Peluso Team Up for ‘De Maravisha’ & 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. Check out this week’s picks below.

Tokischa & Nathy Peluso, “De Maravisha” (Tokischa LLC/Warner Music Latina)

Tokischa and Nathy Peluso join forces for this irreverent statement of female empowerment in which they show off their slick rapping skills. Written by both artists and produced by Skrillex, “De Maravisha” – a variation of “de maravilla” according to the Argentine pronunciation, and which in English means “wonderfully” – includes bars like “Cream mochi, I’m Hannah Montana/ I do whatever I want” and “A queen, if you ask me, I am adored and I am prayed to,” before turning halfway into a full reggaetón jam.

“I have been a fan of Nathy for many years and it is a dream to release this song with her, and of course very grateful to Skrillex who produced it with us, uniting our essence as rappers and the perreo that we love,” Tokischa said in a statement sent to Billboard. “Accompanying Toki on this song has been a very fun adventure from the beginning,” Peluso added. “We started writing the song in Barcelona after connecting, and we chose to make it in two parts, to give it two sides.” The song’s fun music video, directed by Olivia de Camps under the creative direction of Tokischa herself, was filmed in New York City. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

Vanessa Zamora & Ximena Sariñana “TRANSFORMANDO” (Vanessa Zamora)

Mexican singer-songwriters Vanessa Zamora and Ximena Sariñana team up for the beautiful single “TRANSFORMANDO.” The song — conceived on Sariñana’s home piano, as Zamora revealed on social media — begins with a soulful R&B atmosphere, where the vocal textures of both artists intertwine with an ethereal performance. However, the song’s true charm lies in its unconventional structure: halfway through, it takes an unexpected turn that breaks down the initial melody, evoking the fluidity of a three-movement classical work and making it more interesting as it progresses. Lyrically, “TRANSFORMANDO” delicately addresses the idea of ​​surrendering to the inevitable processes of change that life dictates. — LUISA CALLE

Calle 24, ONDEADO$ (Street Mob Records)

Originally known as a songwriter behind Fuerza Regida’s biggest hits (“Sabor Fresa,” “Crazyz”), Calle 24 (Diego Millán) has been stepping more into the spotlight, like with his ambitious third studio album, ONDEADO$. This 24-track set skillfully expands the borders of traditional corridos with a robust array of moods and collaborators (Adriel Favela, Chuyin). From the big-banda, brass-driven flair of “Mi Vida Loka” to the introspective sierreño “Últimamente” about a new crush, which brings back the trio — Chino Pacas, Fuerza, Calle — behind the Hot 100 hit “Qué Onda,” the album intrigues with unexpected variety. There are surprising tracks like “Come Back” a bilingual smooth hip-hop jam featuring Imagine. The Mexican singer-songwriter delivers a lush, attitude-filled showcase through celebration, struggle, and a generous dose of debauchery. It’s a compelling listen for anyone vested in the genre’s future. — ISABELA RAYGOZA

GORDO feat. Emilia, “Olvidarte” (Ultra Records)

Just months after releasing his debut album Diamante, renowned producer GORDO is back with an EP that features collaborators like Eladio Carrión, Bad Gyal and Emilia. This six-track set is enthralling offering a handful of EDM tracks that showcase his stronghold on a genre he helped define during the U.S. dance music boom of the early 2010s. While all songs are fascinating, it’s Emilia’s “Olvidarte” that stands out from No Hay Verano Sin Gordo. Powered by a haunting, head-bobbing beat that intensifies throughout the song while Emilia’s velvety vocals take flight as she sings about drinking to forget. — GRISELDA FLORES
