This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features new music, including fresh picks by TINI, Esau Ortiz, Delilah and Santa Fe Klan, to name a few.
Nathy Peluso teams up with Rawayana for “Malportada,” the title track of her upcoming salsa EP. About her song with Rawayana, the Argentine star said in a statement: “Beto (of Rawayana) has that timeless voice and the carefree swagger of a classic salsero, without making any effort. Straight from Venezuela, one of the most beautiful cradles of salsa that I love so much. Beto is the mischievous one, with a good heart and good lyrics—the perfect partner to sing with and lose all composure.”

Vives added, “Sharing this song that celebrates the spirit of Santa Marta with Bomba Estéreo fills me with joy. t’s a song of unity, pride, and belonging to Santa Marta, reflecting the nostalgia that Li and I feel every time we return home.”
