This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including Pepe Aguilar’s timely cover of “Corrido de Juanito” to Meme del Real’s reimagined bolero “Incomprensible” and Paloma Mami’s first album in four years, CÓDiGOS DE MUÑEKA.
Penned by Edén Muñoz and released originally by Calibre 50 in 2017, Aguilar released his version of the heartfelt corrido that poignantly narrates the immigrant experience. Moreover, all proceeds from the song will go to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, a California-based organization founded in 1986 to “advance the human and civil rights of immigrants and refugees,” according to its website.
“We thank Pepe Aguilar for using his voice and platform to defend and support the immigrant community that is foundational to their fan base,” Angelica Salas, executive director of CHIRLA, said in a statement. “Thank you for your invaluable support and for uplifting the presence and contributions of immigrants in the United States.”
Meanwhile, Tito Double P showcase vulnerability in the melodic and raw heartbreak song titled “Por Sus Besos,” a departure from his swag-heavy corridos. Still, the track is powered by blazing horns and slapping guitar strings that power Tito’s core sound.
Other new releases this week include music from Juan Gabriel (“Nunca Había Amado Así”), Quevedo (“TUCHAT”) and Estevie (“Quiero Saber”). Which release this week do you think is best? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
