Argentine artist and rapper Milo J stunned with the first cut of his upcoming album, La Vida Era Más Corta, called “Bajo de la Piel.” The song that progressively laces tango with folk music, and is powered by Milo’s powerful deep vocals, is about the invisible marks left over time, inherited memories, and the search for identity.
Moreover, Colombian band Monsieur Periné invented a whole new word for its new song, “Aguaráchate.” Coined by lead vocalist, Catalina García, the upbeat and feel-good song blends a Colombian guaracha beat with bombastic instruments like the trombone, tuba and accordion. “I invented this word as a way to make music my game again, the game I want to play to laugh, one without rigid rules, where joy is the only rule,” García said in a press statement.
Other new releases this week include music from Sech, Pedro Fernández, and Juan Gabriel, who dropped his album Eterno posthumously. In last week’s poll, Lenier and Costa Azule’s “Maquillaje” won with more than 90% of the vote. Which release this week do you think is best?
