This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music including three new albums: Stendhal by Ozuna & Beéle, La Gran Señora (Banda) by Jenni Rivera and Banda Los Sebastianes’ Rancheras Pa’ La Parranda (En Vivo).
Sixteen years after its debut, Jenni Rivera’s 2009 La Gran Señora album is released in banda music, “where her iconic mariachi hits swap strings for brass and tamborazo-driven banda arrangements” and “the tracks still pack a punch,” according to Billbaord Español’s Isabela Raygoza. Under the creative direction of her son Johnny López, the set also includes previously unreleased audio recorded in 2008, four years before the Diva de la Banda’s passing.
Meanwhile, Ozuna and Beéle have teamed up for their joint album Stendhal, a 14-track production—helmed by Colombian hitmaker Ovy on the Drums and other producers—packed with sensual lyricism and fiery global fusions between Afrobeats, electronic, Latin urban and more. “This project was born from a real connection in the studio,” Ozuna said in a statement. “With Beéle, it was easy to build something different, playing with sounds, roots, and emotions. [The album] is a journey we took together to give people music they can feel.”
Other new releases this week include new music from Juanes and Bomba Estéreo, Julieta Venegas, Greeicy and more. 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.
