Banda MS & Yahritza y Su Esencia, “Solo Que Lo Dudes” (Lizos Music)
[embedded content]
It’s the first time Yahritza Y Su Esencia has recorded a song with Banda MS — but it’s not the first time the two acts have united forces. Back in June, the sibling trio joined the legendary band onstage in Los Angeles to sing “Mi Mayor Anhelo,” which is around when they teased they were working on a collab. “Solo Que Lo Dudes” is a rhythmic tuba-powered cumbia that puts both Yahritza’s and Alan’s (from Banda MS) powerful and distinctive vocals at the forefront, as they sing about an “amor bonito,” or genuine love. “More than I could’ve ever imagined, stay with me, stay by my side. No one can stop this pretty love, let’s love each other slowly … I need you,” they declare. This new cumbia song comes on the heels of Yahritza Y Su Esencia’s other cumbia single, the Grupo Frontera-assisted “Frágil,” peaking at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. It’s the trio’s first leader on any Billboard ranking. — GRISELDA FLORES
Rauw Alejandro, “Hayami Hana by Raúl”
[embedded content]
Rauw Alejandro pens a heart-wrenching love letter to Rosalía in “Hayami Hana,” a ballad set over keyboards, where he raps and croons about the difficulties of their breakup, revealing that he never thought they would part ways. The track — whose title in Japanese could be translated as “flower of rare beauty,” and for now is only available on Rauw’s YouTube and SoundCloud accounts — comes less than a month after the couple announced that they’d ended their relationship after nearly four years together. Its moving lyrics are a testament of Rauw’s deep love and respect for his ex-fiancée, both as a person and as an artist. “What will come next? I don’t know/ But I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, hey/ They will study your art over time/ When they plan, I know that they always take you as an example,” sings Rauw. And in one of the most heartbreaking moments he laments, “I’ll finish our little house in case you feel like coming back/ Today I stop writing you, not loving you.” It made me tear up without realizing it. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS
Estevie & Cuco, “El Paso” (Nice Life Recording Company/Interscope Records)
[embedded content]
Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Mexican-American singer Estevie (born Sarah Silva) is reviving the spirit of vintage borderland cumbia. On her latest single “El Paso” — already an irresistible cut punctuated by a gripping accordion riff over a savory güiro rhythm — the SoCal star delivers a heartwarming romance, described as “A Chicano love story,” alongside indie pop sensation Cuco, who comes in a minute and a half later to offer his bu tender croon. In the visual, Cuco shines like the sun (literally), while Estevie travels far and wide in search of her soulmate. “El Paso” is the final single leading to Estevie’s debut EP, Cumbialicious, out at the end of September. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
Karol G, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) (Bichota Records/Interscope Records)
Karol G is so excited about making history with her 2023 album Mañana Será Bonito, and kicking off her first-ever stadium tour this week, that she has released even more new music. Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) is not a deluxe or remix album, but rather a sequel to February’s Mañana — one that shows a more experimental Karol, and one who’s healed and matured, and is both in love and empowered as ever.
The set kicks off with the hard-hitting drill/rap fusion “BICHOTAG,” where she chants about being the ultimate bichota — no ifs, ands, or buts. It then navigates to tracks such as “OKI DOKI” and “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” the set’s focus track, where the Colombian artist delivers a dulcet cumbia/Tex-Mex track à la Selena Quintanilla (one of Karol’s favorite artists). The set also includes several high-profile collaborations, with Karol reeling in fellow Colombiana Kali Uchis (“Me Tengo Que Ir”) as well as newcomers Peso Pluma (“QLONA”), Dei V (“Gatita Gangster”), and Young Miko (“Dispo”).
To everyone’s surprise, Bichota Season is also home to “Una Noche en Medellín (Remix,)” alongside rising Chilean artist Cris MJ and Ryan Castro (the remix was slated for a 2022 release). The track, about enjoying the night life in Medellín, was originally released by Cris MJ last year, and performed live for the first time during Karol’s set at the 2022 Viña del Mar festival. The album closes with the previously released “Provenza (Remix)” by Tiesto, which debuted at the 2022 Tomorrowland Festival. — JESSICA ROIZ

Karol G has re-entered her Bichota era—this time with light pink hair and a new album dubbed Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), out today (Aug. 11) via Bichota Records/Interscope Records. Home to 10 tracks, including the previously released “Provenza (Remix)” with Tiësto and “S91,” Bichota Season delivers a new side of the Colombian superstar, who […]
Rauw Alejandro pours his heart out in his new song “Hayami Hana,” a love letter to Rosalía in which he opens up about how difficult their breakup has been for him and says that he never thought they would separate.
“We’ve argued, I find it hard to express myself/ All my shortcomings you already know/ I have to put up with your things too/ But the option of removing myself never crossed my mind,” sings the Puerto Rican star.
The track released on Thursday (August 10) — whose title in Japanese could be translated as “flower of rare beauty” — comes less than a month after the couple announced that they have ended their relationship after nearly four years together. Its moving lyrics evidence Rauw’s deep love and respect for his ex-fiancée, both as a person and as an artist.
“What will come next? I don’t know/ But I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, hey/ They will study your art over time/ When they plan, I know that they always take you as an example,” sings Rauw. And in one of the most heartbreaking moments he laments, “I’ll finish our little house in case you feel like coming back/ Today I stop writing you, not loving you.”
Rauw and Rosalía met in person in 2019 — after months of messaging each other on social media — at a Las Vegas hotel lounge during the Latin Grammys. It was love at first sight, the couple told Billboard for their cover story interview. Shortly after, on March 24, 2023, they revealed that they were engaged in the music video for “Beso,” one of the three songs included on their joint EP RR, released that same day.
Since the inception of their relationship, Rosalía and Rauw were each other’s biggest supporters on and off the stage. Rosalía sang backing vocals on “Dile a Él” from Rauw’s first album, Afrodisiaco (2020), as well as on “Corazón Despeinado” from Saturno (2022), while Rauw co-wrote some lyrics for Rosalía’s “Chicken Teriyaki” from her Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning 2022 album, Motomami.
“I’m lucky to be your partner, and I want to be there for you, sabes? And I feel you’re there for me, independent of the careers,” said Rosalía, who had Rauw as a guest on her Coachella set in April where they performed “Beso” and “Vampiros” off RR. “For me, our relationship is first, and then there’s everything else. Of course my career is super important in my life, but at the same time, in my life, you’re my companion, and everything else comes second.”

In case we never talk againAnd my favorite eyes don’t look at me againI do this for when you want to rememberOf the crazy person who really loved you.And I’m not going to make myself strongI am not going to fake itEveryone here knows that I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna miss youYes, there is nothing to hide hereBut there are a couple things that I want to get off my chest.
Everybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, they know s–tEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThey say they know, they know s–t
We’ve arguedI find it hard to express myselfAll my shortcomings you already knowI also have to put up with your thingsBut the option of removing myself never crossed my mind.And what a pity, couples no longer lastThey last a little, there are few old people leftTo tell us their little tricksHow can I seeAll my life with you, the dawn?And mami I don’t have the answer for thisBut I loved both your qualities and defects equallyEverything gets harder with timeBut not all people are prepared for thisAnd I don’t blame you, the life we lead is not for everyoneThe press, social media, peer pressuresBeing away is more difficult, easier togetherWe work non-stop but to what extentBeing in our little camp is worth more than all the money and fameTo wake up and see you by my sideI don’t feel like getting out of bed
Hey, all my songs are for you since AfrodisíacoEveryone knows that, that’s irrelevantIt’s that I can’t stop missing her sleeping in my armsI don’t know how to stop thinking about that last hugAnd if I had known that it was going to be the last one, I wouldn’t have let her goMaybe now she would be by my sideWatching movies in tuck in bedBut this summer I had to be like the sun, alone
I may be many things, but never unfaithfulShe always had the key to my cellThis was something else that is not in my powerMy crystal girl, my paper boatYou disarmed and I tried to fix youAnd although you went far away from me, I stayedNow I’m not here but I want you to know thatYou are stronger than you thinkAnd I hope someday we can laugh at the pastThere are no grudges here, this is not a complaintIf you have given me the best daysThat’s why I have your name tattooed on my belly, maI gave you everything and I would do it againI will finish our little house in case you feel like coming backToday I stop writing you, not loving youHow to forget your kisses after that nap?
Everybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, they know s–tEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThey say they know, they know s–t
To finishI know you’re going to be the best artistIt’s just that another like you I really don’t think existsYou are the most beautiful cover of all magazinesI would know even if I couldn’t seeIf just by hearing your voiceThe sea calms down from any tormentThousands of people agreeI don’t say it because of this feelingAnd from Los Angeles I knew itShe is my MOTOMAMIWhat will come next? I don’t knowBut I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, heyThey will study your art over timeWhen they plan I know that they always take you as an exampleAnd even if they copy you, they will fail in the attemptBecause only God chooses a few with that talentYou are genuine, you are amazing, you are, you are pure joy, huhYou are medicineYou heal my heartAll those nights at home dancing to our songAnd if life brings me together with you on another occasionI won’t argue with fate’s reason
Once again I’m staying here without youD–n, baby, I’m gonna miss youI didn’t see this coming to an end, yeahOnce again I’m staying here without youThis time I’m not going to stop youI say goodbye to you, have a great time, yeahOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsOh-ah-ah-ahHayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Yeah, yeah

Luis Miguel, endearingly known as El Sol de México, will shine in the emblematic port of Acapulco. The beloved Mexican icon will return to one of the most symbolic places of his artistic career as part of his continental Luis Miguel Tour 2023. On Dec. 27, he will land at the GNP Arena in that city, promoters ECO Live and GOJO Live announced in a statement on Thursday (Aug. 10).
The superstar will return to the famous beach resort in the state of Guerrero after a five-year hiatus as part of the new dates announced for his 2023 tour. His first stint began Aug. 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and he’s now added Acapulco, as well as another date in Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, on Dec. 31.
ECO Live and GOJO Live said all information regarding his show in Acapulco “will be communicated soon.” On Wednesday, the governor of Guerrero, Evelyn Salgado Pineda, celebrated the return of the famous performer on her X (formerly Twitter) account.
“In Guerrero the Sun will shine stronger than ever to close 2023 with a bang. It gives me great pleasure to share with you the announcement of the return of @LMXLM in concert in Acapulco,” Salgado Pineda wrote in Spanish.
En #Guerrero el Sol brillará más fuerte que nunca para cerrar con broche de oro el 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣. ☀️🎤Me da mucho gusto compartirles el anuncio del regreso de @LMXLM en concierto 🎶 en #Acapulco. Todo esto en el marco de nuestra completa agenda turística y cultural que promovemos… pic.twitter.com/oavZdfhnSp— Evelyn Salgado Pineda (@EvelynSalgadoP) August 10, 2023
The Acapulco beach resort became a symbolic place for the “No Sé Tú” singer because of a luxurious mansion that belonged to him in the ’90s located there. Nestled in the exclusive Bonfil Beach, now called Punta Diamante, the house was characterized by its yellow color and huge windows that gave a wonderful view of the beach.
Micky, as he was affectionately known in his adolescence, lived for several years in that mansion in Acapulco, which then became his center of operations, before moving to Los Angeles and later to Miami.
His time in Acapulco was also portrayed in the 2018 Netflix bioseries Luis Miguel: The Series.
Miguel, who has placed 16 titles at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart and nine on Top Latin Albums, reached a new record July 19 after becoming the Latin American artist with the highest number of songs on the Spotify platform with 23, and more than 100 million streams.
In September, the singer will kick off the North American leg of his CMN-produced tour, visiting key cities such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami and Los Angeles, before concluding Dec. 31 in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Following the success of his 2023 continental tour, the superstar announced Monday 50 additional dates for his Luis Miguel Tour 2024.
Ivan Cornejo has signed a record deal with Interscope Records, the Universal Music Group-owned label announced today (Aug. 10). The música mexicana singer-songwriter had been signed to indie label Manzana Records since 2021.
The 19-year-old artist went from social media phenomenon to chart-topping artist when he topped Billboard‘s Latin Songwriters chart dated Oct. 30, 2021 thanks to his hit sierreño anthem “Está Dañada,” which then became only the second regional Mexican song to enter the Hot 100 tally. The track later got a remix featuring Jhayco. Last year, he scored his first No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums with his sophomore album, Dañado, and he won new artist of the year the 2022 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
“I am really excited to begin this new chapter of my career,” Cornejo said in a statement. “It’s been a long road even though my career is young and we have built a really strong foundation up until now. I am looking forward to working with John and Nir and the entire team at Interscope to continue to build and take my project to the next level.”
Cornejo made his Lollapalooza debut on Aug. 5, where he officially kicked off his Terapia Tour, which will make stops in major cities such as New York, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston before wrapping up with two back-to-back shows in Chicago on Nov. 16-17.
“At Interscope we have always been attracted to artists who move culture, and Ivan has already proven he is on that path,” said John Janick, chairman and chief executive officer of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. “He is absolutely one of the most exciting new artists in music and we are looking forward to working with him and his team on the next chapter of his incredible career.”
“Ivan is truly a special artist, a songwriter of depth and a masterful live performer,” said Nir Seroussi, Interscope executive vice president, who oversees Interscope’s efforts in Latin music. “In a very short time he built a passionate and loyal fanbase which has propelled him up the charts. We’re so proud that he’s chosen Interscope as his new creative home.”
Ivan Cornejo’s move from an indie Latin label to a mainstream label comes just two months after Interscope signed Karol G, joining a roster of Latin acts that include Kali Uchis, Cuco and Bad Gyal, among others.
Billboard Latin and Billboard Español are celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop by curating The 50 Most Essential Spanish-Language Rappers of Yesterday and Today list out today (Aug. 9).
Ahead of the genre officially turning 50 on Friday (Aug. 11), the Latin and Español editors unveiled 50 of the most extraordinary, compelling and commanding Spanish-language hip-hop acts of our generation and beyond. The ranked list includes notable rappers from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, to name a few countries.
Highlighted in the list are a handful of female rappers who are spearheading the male-dominated genre with their unapologetic prowess, such as newcomers Young Miko and Villano Antillano, as well as veterans Ana Tijoux, Mala Rodriguez and Ivy Queen, who always showcased her exceptional talent and innovation as a rapper and artist since her emergence in the mid ‘90s.
The ranking’s top 10 are Argentine MC Trueno (10), Control Machete’s Pato Machete (9), Ivy Queen (8), Mexico’s Aczino (7), Daddy Yankee (6), Cuban group Orishas (5), Tego Calderón (4), Ana Tijoux (3), Vico C (2) and Residente (1), who between his solo career and his work with Calle 13, holds the record for most Latin Grammy wins.
Other rappers on the list include Eladio Carrión, Santa Fe Klan, Cosculluela, Lapiz Conciente and Akapellah, to name a few.
Note: In a similar approach to Billboard/Vibe’s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list, the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español teams took into account the following criteria in the selection process and ranking: body of work/achievements (charted releases, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess.)

The most essential Spanish-language rappers, the G.O.A.T.s, and the most riveting Masters of Ceremonies, of yesterday and today: It’s a heavy crown that only a few dozen are worthy of upholding, and of passing on its majestic power. As a salute to hip-hop’s golden year, with the genre officially turning 50 on Friday (August 11), the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español teams are uniting to compile a list of the most extraordinary, compelling and commanding Spanish-language hip-hop acts of our generation and beyond.
As any self-respecting rap pundit knows, hip-hop was born in New York, 1973. But unbeknownst to many is that the Latin immigrant population dwelling in the Bronx played a fundamental part in the genre’s growth. Nuyoricans took the style back to the island, where in the 1990s, it got the tropical treatment in the hands of genre pioneers Vico C, known as the Father of Latin Hip-Hop, streetwise poet Tego Calderón, and her royal reggaetón majesty, Ivy Queen — and later Residente, who revolutionized the style via sardonic wordplay and fearless social commentary.
Through cassettes and bootlegs, the Spanish-language art form traveled far and wide, planting seeds of rap throughout the Hispanophone world. Trailblazers began adopting the lyrical style in Spain during the ‘90s, thanks to the likes of Nach, SFDK, El Chojin and more.
By the turn of the new millennium, the blockbuster Eminem-starring film 8 Mile inspired a movement among the youth in pursuit of winning rap battles, as they flexed their freestyling abilities. Mexican tianguis eventually became a hotbed for battle rap, where batalla heavyweight champ Aczino helped elevate the art form to the next level.
Enter Red Bull’s Batalla de los Gallos — formed in 2005 — which, throughout the years, helped boost the booming scene across Ibero America, snowballing by the years and making stars out of urban kids with lyrical dexterity. There’s also Buenos Aires’ battle rap competition El Quinto Escalón, which began in 2012, where the likes of Paulo Londra, Duki and Wos rose from the Argentine capital’s underground scene to international notoriety, via viral YouTube videos.
Today, Spanish-language rappers continue to play a formidable role in the movement’s evolution and expansion.
In a similar approach to Billboard/Vibe’s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list, the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español teams took into account the following criteria in the selection process and ranking: body of work/achievements (charted releases, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess.)
Note: We opted not to include the significant contributions of pop-reggaetón acts on this list, or of rappers like Bad Bunny and Anuel AA, who have focused more on reggaetón and the reggaetón lifestyle. This is not a reflection of their rhyming capabilities or commercial success, but rather our attempt at keeping the focus of the list on artists whose output have been more rap-centered. We also aimed to spotlight the most representative rappers of Spanish-speaking countries with foundations in hip-hop, for the sake of diversity.
So without further ado, here are the 50 best Spanish-language rappers — including both solo artists and groups — and let the battles begin!

Yahritza y Su Esencia crosses off its first Billboard airplay No. 1 as “Frágil” with Grupo Frontera lifts 3-1 to crown the Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated Aug. 12). The song becomes the Martinez siblings’ maiden No. 1 on any airplay ranking.

“Thank you very much with all our heart,” Yahritza tells Billboard. “The truth is that it is a blessing and it’s all thanks to our audience. We knew the song would be very special from the moment we started working on it with the Frontera guys, and we’re very pleased that everybody has connected so much with it. We are excited to sing it on our tour that launches Aug. 15.”
“Frágil” ejects Alejandro Fernández’s “No Es Que Me Quiera Ir” from the lead thanks to a 28% increase in audience impressions, to 8.4 million, earned in the U.S. during the tracking week ending Aug. 3, according to Luminate. (“Que Me Quiera” dips to No. 3 with a 16% cut, to 7.41 million.)
Yahritza y Su Esencia feted its first radio entry when “Frágil” debuted at No. 38 on Regional Mexican Airplay on July 1. The song made its way across multiple Billboard charts prior to its radio debut, including cracking the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 82 (May 6) for a later No. 69 peak. Let’s look at its rankings:
Peak Position, Chart, Peak Date
No. 2, Latin Airplay, Aug. 12
No. 3, Latin Digital Song Sales, April 22
No. 10, Hot Latin Songs, April Aug. 5
No. 11, Latin Streaming Songs, May 27
No. 35, Billboard Global Excl. U.S., June 3
No. 37, Billboard Global 200, June 3
No. 69, Billboard Hot 100, May 27
“Frágil” is the first chart entry in 2023 by the Martinez sibling trio, who scored a No. 17 high on Hot Latin Songs through “Inseparables” with Iván Cornejo last October. Since then, the group — comprised of Yahritza (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Armando (Mando; 12-string guitar) and Jairo (acoustic bass) — released four other tracks, none of which scored a Billboard entry. Those tunes faced a different recording process, attributable to a seven-month stay in Mexico City by big brother Mando, who had to relocate to his native country while his O-1 visa was being processed. During that time, the siblings connected via FaceTime to record and compose, notwithstanding a few trips by Yahritza and Jairo to ease the process.
“Frágil” is the first collaboration between the trio and Frontera, who secure its fourth No. 1, among seven straight top 10s on Regional Mexican Airplay, including the six-week champ “Que Vuelvas” with Carin León (Jan.-March)
“Working with our friends from Grupo Frontera was a lot of fun and an unforgettable experience,” Y Su Esencia adds. “We have a great relationship and thank God we can say that they are one of our best friends in the industry.”
Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1, “Frágil” barely misses the top slot on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where the song climbs 8-2.
“Frágil” was composed by Yahritza Martinez, Edgar Barrera, Kevyn Cruz, and Luis Angel O’Neill Laureano.

Colombian superstar Shakira is confirmed for the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Week, set to take place Oct. 2-6 at the Faena Forum in Miami. The global artist — who in May was named Billboard’s first-ever Latin Woman of the Year — will participate in an exclusive superstar Q&A moderated by Leila Cobo, Billboard’s Chief Content Officer for Latin/Español.
One of the best-selling music artists of all time, Shakira has sold more than 95 million records worldwide since launching her career. This year has been extraordinary for the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter thanks to her Bizarrap-produced “Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions #53,” which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first woman to reach the top 10 on the chart with a song in Spanish. It also made history as the most-streamed Latin track in 24 hours in Spotify history, and the most-viewed Latin track on YouTube in 24 hours with over 63 million views; it also broke 14 Guinness World Records.
Shakira joins a star-studded roster for the five-day legacy event that will feature exclusive panels and conversations with hitmakers throughout the week. Maria Becerra, GALE, Nicki Nicole, Nathy Peluso and Young Miko will be part of the Boys Club No More! panel focused on the women making noise in the Latin music landscape.
Additional panels include The New Mexican Revolution with Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, Santa Fe Klan, and Yng Lvcas, plus the Making the Hit LIVE panel featuring Edgar Barrera and Grupo Frontera, who will create a song onstage from scratch. Other artists confirmed to be part of 2023 Latin Music Week include Arcángel, Vico C, Eladio Carrión and Fonseca.
With 30 years of events, Billboard Latin Music Week is the longest running and biggest Latin music industry gathering in the world. After a sold-out 2022 edition that featured star Q&As with Maluma, Ivy Queen, Chayanne, Romeo Santos and Christina Aguilera, to name a few, the event returns, coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month.
Billboard Latin Music Week will also coincide with the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday, Oct. 5, at the Watsco Center in Miami, and will broadcast live on Telemundo. The awards show will broadcast simultaneously on Spanish entertainment cable network Universo, and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean on Telemundo Internacional.
Registration for the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Week is now open at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com.
