Yes, the rumors are true: Bad Bunny and Arcángel are releasing a new song together, and you’ll be able to hear it much sooner than you think. “La Jumpa,” the pair’s latest collaboration, will be out on Wednesday (Nov. 30) at 5 p.m. ET.

Arcángel revealed that “La Jumpa” was recorded remotely in recent days, and will be included on his forthcoming album Señor Santos, which will arrive on Thursday (Dec. 1) at 8 p.m. under Rimas Entertainment.
“It’s a song that he sent me about a week ago. I already had the album finished and we were waiting for it,” Arcángel told Billboard Español in an exclusive interview.
“La Jumpa” joins a list of collaborations between Arcángel and Bad Bunny, including hits “Me Acostumbré” (2017), “Original” (2018) and “Por Ti” (2021), as well as 2016’s “Diles” with Ozuna, Farruko and Ñengo Flow and 2017’s “Soy Peor Remix” with J Balvin and Ozuna.
On Tuesday, Bad Bunny caused a stir by posting a series of photos of the two of them together over the years in his Instagram stories. Hours later, rumors of a possible new collab were trending in countries like Argentina.
Bunny, who is currently touring Latin America with his World’s Hottest Tour, “already had some ideas for the next song that we would record together” and managed to do it in Peru, Arcángel said. “Remember that he’s on tour and it’s very difficult for him to go to a music studio, so he had to send someone to look for a studio.”
“He sent me the song, we recorded the same day, and three, four days passed in which we sent back and he listened,” he continued. “You know, we haven’t seen each other in a few months, and we recorded the last track for my album this week. Yesterday we were able to deliver it and all the parties were happy with the mastering of the song, we are all in agreement, so we finished it yesterday and the album is out in two days”.
“La Jumpa” is one of the 18 tracks in Señor Santos, a trap album which Arcángel dedicates to the memory of his brother Justin, who died last year in a car accident. A video for “La Ruta,” a song by Arcángel with YOVNGCHIMI that talks about the current times in Puerto Rico, will also arrive with the album on Dec. 1.
Señor Santos additionally features collaborations with Duki and Bizarrap (“Vaterri Botas”), Myke Towers (“Dígitos”), Eladio Carrión (“Santa Claus”), Bryant Myers (“Spicy Crab”), Diem (“De negro”), De La Ghetto (“Then”), Almighty (“Fendace”), and Young Flow, Jim Jones, Chucky 73 and Douba Montana (“Son Scotti”).
It was a battle of icons and superstars, with Bad Bunny and veteran singer/songwriter Jorge Drexler leading the list of winners in the pre-Latin Grammys telecast Thursday (Nov. 17) in Las Vegas.

Drexler, the beloved Uruguayan singer/songwriter known for his complex, often cerebral fare, led the fray with four wins, for best pop song (“La Guerrilla de la Concordia”), best alternative song (“El día que Estrenaste el Mundo”), best singer/songwriter album (for Tinta y Tiempo) and best Portuguese language song (alongside Marisa Monte in “Vento Sardo”). A fifth Latin Grammy went to arranger Fernando Velazquez for best arrangement in Drexler’s “El plan maestro.”
Bad Bunny also took home four awards, for Best urban fusion performance and Best urban song with “Titi Me Preguntó”; best reggaetón performance with “Lo siento BB:/” alongside Tainy and Julieta Venegas; and best rap/hip-hop song with “De Museo.”
Another iconic Latin star, Argentina’s Fito Páez, won three awards, while Rosalía took home Best alternative album and Best engineered album for her Motomami.
“If I’m getting this award, certainly it’s because of Fito, but also, because of my love for Argentine rock,” said Carlos Vives, who won best pop/rock song for “Babel,” alongside Páez. “I was never a fan of The Beatles. I didn’t even learn English at home. But I always listened to Argentine rock.”
Icons Juan Luis Guerra and Residente also won awards: Guerra in best merengue/bachata album for Entre Mar y Palmeras and Residente in best short-form video for his incendiary “This Is Not America.” Latin Grammy fave Natalia LaFourcade won best long-form video for her Hasta La Raíz: El Documental.
When a visibly emotional Tainy picked up the award for “Lo Siento BB:/,” he said: “Working with Julieta, it wasn’t my genre. I feel blessed.” It was one of many emotional speeches, but perhaps the most rousing was by Brazil’s Liniker, who won the Latin Grammy for best MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) album with Indigo Borboleta Anil. “There is history being made in my country, Brazil, tonight. This is the first time a transgender artist wins a Grammy,” said Liniker, putting the audience on their feet.
The winner of the coveted producer of the year award went to acclaimed Colombian producer Julio Reyes-Copello, winning that prize for the first time after multiple nominations through the years. “I’m not Julio Reyes-Copello; I’m his manager Andrés Recio,” said Recio, picking up the award for Reyes-Copello. “I’ve been his manager for 22 years, and we’ve dreamt about this award for 22 years.”
The pre-telecast was the precursor to the Latin Grammy Awards, which will air at 8 p.m. ET Thursday night on the Univision network from the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
The full list of winners below, with winners in bold, will be updated during the evening.

Bad Bunny leads the nominations for the 2022 American Music Awards with eight nods, including his first for artist of the year. If the Puerto Rican superstar wins in all eight categories, he would tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for the most AMAs in a single year.
Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor Swift are close behind with six nods each. That makes Bey and Swift the year’s top female nominees. The two powerhouses are facing off in three categories — artist of the year, favorite female pop artist and favorite pop album.
Adele, Harry Styles, The Weeknd and Future each received five nods. Imagine Dragons and Måneskin are tied as the group with the most nods – four. Jack Harlow and Tems also received four nods.
The American Music Awards are set to air live from Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 8 p.m. ET, and via tape delay at 8 p.m. PT, on ABC. A host has not yet been announced. Cardi B hosted last year’s show.
There are seven nominees for artist of the year, up from five nominees in each of the last five years. Swift received her record-extending ninth nomination in the category; Drake, his sixth; The Weeknd, his fifth. Adele, Beyoncé and Styles each received their third – counting Styles’ two previous nods with One Direction. As noted, this was Bad Bunny’s first nod in the category.
Swift holds the record for the most wins in the artist of the year category (six). She also holds the record for most AMA wins overall (34).
The AMAs added or revived six categories this year – favorite K-pop artist, favorite Afrobeats artist, favorite rock song, favorite rock album, favorite touring artist and favorite soundtrack. This is a breakthrough for K-pop and Afrobeats, which have not previously had AMAs categories dedicated to them. Favorite touring artist was dropped the last two years because of the pandemic, when relatively few people went to concerts. Favorite soundtrack was dropped last year when moviegoing was down for the same reason.
The AMAs dropped one category this year – favorite trending song, won last year by Megan Thee Stallion’s “Body.”
With two nods (collaboration of the year and favorite touring artist), Elton John makes history as the longest-recognized artist in AMA history. He was nominated for favorite pop/rock male artist in 1974 at the inaugural American Music Awards. He lost to singer/songwriter Jim Croce, whose death in a September 1973 plane crash triggered a tremendous sales surge.
More than 40 artists received their first-ever nominations this year, including the aforementioned Harlow and Tems (four nods each), Latto (three), Blackpink (one), Anitta (one), and Swedish House Mafia (one).
The nominations announcement kicked off ABC’s Good Morning America with a reveal of the 2022 new artist of the year nominees — Dove Cameron, Gayle, Latto, Måneskin and Steve Lacy. The segment featured a video of two-time AMA winner Becky G surprising this year’s nominees with the news. Additional nominees were announced via the AMAs’ Twitter account.
The AMAs bill themselves as “the world’s largest fan-voted awards show.” They further tout that last year’s show was the most social telecast of 2021 with 46.5 million interactions.
Nominees are based on key fan interactions – as reflected on the Billboard charts – including streaming, album and song sales, radio airplay, and tour grosses. These measurements are tracked by Billboard and its data partner Luminate, and cover the eligibility period of Sept. 24, 2021, through Sept. 22, 2022 (representing Billboard chart dates of Oct. 9, 2021, through Oct. 1, 2022).
The 2022 American Music Awards are produced by dick clark productions and Jesse Collins Entertainment. Collins, founder and CEO of the company that bears his name, returns as showrunner and executive producer. Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay, two of the top executives in Collins’ company, and Larry Klein, a longtime member of the AMAs production inner circle, are also executive producers.
This is the 50th edition of the show, which was created by TV music/variety OG Dick Clark in 1973. The show has aired on ABC continuously since 1974, marking one of the longest continuous network relationships for any awards show.
