At the end of the video for “Cairo,” the recent mega-hit by Karol G and producer Ovy on the Drums, both artists stand side by side in the Egyptian desert, contemplating the pyramids at dusk. The moment is loaded with symbolism, capturing two young musicians from Medellín, Colombia who have made it across the world.
The scene also reflects a recent feat: Last month, Karol’s fourth LP, Mañana Será Bonito, made history as the first Spanish-language album by a woman to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Ovy,...

Still, no one was expecting global powerhouse Shakira to unleash the way she does on the latest Bzrp Music Session. In fact, fans could hardly believe it when Bizarrap announced on Tuesday that the Colombian superstar would be the latest guest on his music series,...

Lil Baby celebrates Argentina’s FIFA World Cup win with his “The World Is Yours to Take” video, which includes footage from stadiums in Doha, Qatar interwoven with scenes from pivotal match moments throughout the tournament.

The Argentine rapper Paulo Londra has always known how to build momentum for himself. As a precocious teenager, he’d take his steady, melodic flow to the plazas of Córdoba, where he grew up, and knock out challengers during the kind of freestyle battles that were known as a breeding ground for talent across the country. “I always said, ‘There’s such an impressive level of improvisation and artistry here,’” Londra, 24, says over a Zoom call. He’s boyish and easygoing, with tousled hair, and he champions the music scene...

Warner Music Group, home to the likes of Cardi B, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars, reported higher fiscal third-quarter revenue and net income on Tuesday as music publishing revenue grew 30 percent and a bounceback in some parts of the business previously affected by the Covid pandemic.
It also cited “solid underlying streaming growth despite ad-supported pressure” amid macro-economic clouds.
Net income for the latest period ended in June amounted to 125 million, more than double the 61 million recorded in the year-ago period, the company said before the stock market open. Adjusted net income jumped 77 percent from 83 million to 147 million. The improvements came amid higher revenue and “the favorable impact of exchange rates on the company’s euro-denominated debt and a loss on extinguishment of debt in the prior-year quarter.”
Warner Music Group CEO Stephen Cooper told analysts his company was well positioned to withstand any recessionary threat.

When Argentinean rapper Trueno dropped his acclaimed album Bien o Mal on May 13, fans were surprised to see two songs were kept a total secret — they showed up on the tracklist, but were greyed-out on streaming platforms. Earlier this month, Trueno finally revealed one of those songs was a major collaboration with J Balvin called “Un Paso” — and on Thursday, the two released the video they’d shot for the track together.

The 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards nominations are due on September 20, honoring the best music released from June 2021 through May 2022. This year the ceremony might see the return of veterans and buzzy superstars, all competing for top honors for their incredible work in Latin music. Let’s take a look at the biggest contenders.
Bad Bunny is poised to have a big nominations day.

After a few years of being unable to release music, the Argentine rapper Paulo Londra has been busy recording and sharing everything he’s worked on with fans. Last night, he showed just how much momentum he’s built by dropping not just one, but two songs: “Nublado,” which he’d announced on social media, and the surprise track “Luces.”
The music came with a little theater. Londra had jumped on TikTok to celebrate the launch of “Nublado,” an upbeat single that follows the pop-rock spirit of “Plan A” from a few months back.

The Argentinean artist Paulo Londra recently partnered with Warner Music Latina, ending a complicated chapter in his career that kept him from releasing new music. Now, he’s fully back with “Plan A,” his first single in two years and a song that marks an exciting era for him.
“Plan A” starts off sounding like a breakup ballad as Londra sings about wanting to get clarity in a relationship. Then, a dramatic drum beat kicks in and the chorus gets a boost from amped-up guitars, adding some intensity to the...

Edm king Steve Aoki joins forces with Colombian pop star Maluma in their beguiling reggaeton-house track, “Maldad.” It is the 11th single off Aoki’s upcoming album, Neon Future IV.
“We wanted to hypnotize people,” Aoki tells Rolling Stone of making the song. “You got the rhythm, you got the melody, but once you get Maluma’s sexy swagger…. You’re in the Maluma trance. You wake up and you’re like, ‘Wait, what happened?'”

Between collaborations with Daddy Yankee, Maluma and J Balvin, Mexican-American pop star Becky G has established herself as urbano’s favorite sidekick. But in the video for her steely reggaeton single, “Mala Santa,” she proved she can do bad all by herself. “Mala Santa” is the title track from her highly anticipated debut LP, released Friday on Sony Music Latin.
Meaning “Bad Saint” in English, “Mala Santa” informs potential suitors that Becky G is “neither bad nor holy” — she’s just out to have a good time. Over a hard-edged dembow beat,...

The Latin Recording Academy has announced the nominees for the 20th annual Latin Grammy Awards with Flamenco pop star Rosalia (pictured) claiming the title of most recognized female artist with five nominations. But she has competition in Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, who takes the lead for most nominations with eight — three of which are shared with Camila Cabello.

Sanz’s song “No Tengo Nada” also landed him two nominations in the categories for record of the year and song of the year. Rosalia and J Balvin’s collaboration on the smash hit “Con Altura” earned her and the Colombian artist...

Ed Sheeran hits the streets of London with song collaborators Paulo Londra and Dave as they muse about romantic chemistry while on a late-night bike ride in the new video for “Nothing on You.” The song appears on Sheeran’s star-studded No.6 Collaborations Project, which was released in July.
Sheeran, Argentinian rapper Paulo Londra and UK rapper Dave trade verses about lust and all-encompassing romantic chemistry. “I was rolling up something with you/Kickin’ back in a way that we do/I got everything I need in this room,” Sheeran sings on the chorus.

Ed Sheeran’s new album, No.6 Collaborations Project, feels like a game of musical Mad Libs. 22 guest vocalists are spread, seemingly at random, across 15 tracks that riff through styles — lead-footed southern rock and featherweight acoustic balladry, lithe R&b and a clumsy homage to Aftermath Entertainment, Latin pop and willowy dancehall — like socialites on a shopping spree.
Sheeran has presented the new album as a return to the freedom of his pre-major-label days, before legal red-tape and commercial pressure made collaborations more complicated. Back then, “I made an eight-track Ep called No.
