Best ’90s Latin Music: Vote for Trueno and Maria Becerra
This week is buzzing with fresh sounds, proving that Latin music continues to dominate global trends with incredible energy and creativity. Billboard’s New Music Latin poll, curated by the editors from Billboard Latin and Billboard Español, spotlighted some truly exciting new releases and collaborations.
Among the featured tracks are ambitious projects like Becky G’s new album Baraja Bendita, Benny Blanco’s vibrant all-Spanish-language set Hermoso, and a standout pairing of Carín León and Ke Personajes with their track “Qué Anda Haciendo.” These selections showcase the diverse and evolving landscape of contemporary Latin artistry.
Adding another layer of excitement to the weekly rotation is the music video for “90s,” a collaboration by Trueno and Maria Becerra. Produced by Tatool and El Guincho, this single successfully blends the nostalgic sounds of pop and hip-hop from the nineties with bright, retro synthesizers. The track even incorporates a sample from Argentine band Los Encargados’ song “Orbitando,” creating a sonic tapestry that is both familiar and fresh.
The visual presentation of “90s” was equally compelling. Filmed at the Universidad Nacional de La Matanza in Buenos Aires, the video was brought to life by Agustín Puente and Clemente Bruzzone, capturing the nostalgic essence of the music perfectly. This video marks the fourth single released from Trueno’s TURR4ZO album, further cementing the momentum of his latest work.
The pulse of Latin music remains strong across the board. Other major artists also made waves this week, with releases from stars like Luis Fonsi, Paulo Londra, and Mariah Angeliq contributing to the vibrant musical scene.
Looking at the bigger picture, the recent results for the New Music Latin poll highlight phenomenal success. The most recent poll, published on August 7th, saw Karol G’s new studio album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, sweep the top spot with over 60% of the votes. This remarkable achievement underscores the massive appetite for authentic and compelling Latin sounds globally.
