Two estrellas shine brighter than one, and Astropical is taking its heightened star power on the road.
The Latin supergroup, which consists of the critically acclaimed bands Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana, will embark on a headlining North American tour this summer. The 16-date trek, which kicks off May 24, will include stops in New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and Las Vegas.
Fronted by singer Liliana "Li" Saumet, Colombian group Bomba Estéreo has been charming audiences with its vibrant electro tropical sound, which combines euphoric dance beats with warm Caribbean rhythms. Bomba's latest album, 2021's "Deja," cracked the top 20 of Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart, while the group's 2022 collaboration with Bad Bunny, "Ojitos Lindos," resulted in a Latin Grammy nomination for record of the year.

Chiquis Writes Her First Children's Book & More Uplifting Moments in Latin Music
From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements and those little important moments, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here's what happened in the Latin music world this week. Earlier this year, Chiquis announced she was writing her first-ever children's book called The Girl Who Sings to Bees. This week, fans can pre-order the book set to hit shelves and online stores on July 15. Filled with life lessons that include healing, grief and confronting bullying, the book 'honors the relationship she had with her mom, finding solace from her grief in their shared love of music by singing to the bees in her abuelita's garden and the power to find her voice despite fear and bullying from peers,' according to a press release. The Girl Who Sings to Bees will go on sale in July and will be available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target, to name a few. Fans can pre-order here. More from Billboard Jon Bellion Was Tired of Songwriters Getting 'Paid F-king Dirt' - So He Flipped the Script With 'Father Figure' Elvis Crespo, Elena Rose, Kapo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video Karol G's Con Cora Foundation is taking its third annual Women Ink initiative to Mexico for the first time, after its first two years in Colombia and Spain, respectively. Set to empower female tattoo artists, the weeklong program — helmed by tattoo artists Javi Cinco Ángeles and Juan Ramón RC and taking place in late August — will offer 40 hours of hands-on training and mentorship, where participants will learn the history of tattooing, techniques and aftercare procedures. Women living in Mexico City between the ages of 22 and 40 can apply now through July 1, by visiting the foundation's website. 'Patria y Vida,' the liberty anthem that fueled a new Cuban revolution and won two Latin Grammys in 2021, has become a full-length documentary set to hit U.S. theaters on July 11 via Spanglish Movies. Directed by Beatriz Luengo and starring Yotuel, the film features notable musical figures including Emilio and Gloria Estefan, Camila Cabello, Gente de Zona and Billboard's Leila Cobo. The song — penned by Yotuel (formerly of hip-hop group Orishas), Luengo, Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom (of Gente de Zona) and Descemer Bueno, and features Cuban voices from within the island, Maykel Osorbo and rapper El Funky — became the anthem of anti-government protests in Cuba. 'I felt we needed to show the two realities: those of us who live outside Cuba, and those who are still on the island, who live the streets there,' Yotuel previously told Billboard. Watch the trailer below: SiriusXM has launched the Siempre Selena radio channel, where for a limited time, fans will enjoy the Queen of Tejano's biggest hits. As part of the channel and ahead of its 30th anniversary, Suzette Quintanilla (sister of the late singer and Los Dinos member), opened up about Selena's Dreaming of You album, released posthumously, and which made history as the first predominately Spanish-language album to ever debut at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 in 1995. 'When Dreaming of You came out I didn't care,' Quintanilla expressed on the radio show. 'I was too much lost in my grief. I didn't know day or night, I didn't care about anything. And then I learned to love it and to understand what it represents. It hurt for a very long time to be able to listen to this album, but as time went by, I embraced that this is what sister left behind. This was her not completely fulfilling her dream of doing a whole album, but it's OK because at least we got this.' The Siempre Selena channel is available through July 3 on the SiriusXM app, and on satellite channel 79 from June 4 to 10.

The Best Songs of 2025 So Far
The biggest music story of 2025 remains, as it has for many years, the very fact of how music is discovered, as streaming monoliths and social-media algorithms continually overtake what we hear and what it sounds like. When TikTok virality and playlist automation saturate listeners' attention, artistic sameness threatens to rule the day—but independent artists on their own unique paths are still with us. Let this list, which mostly eschews household names, be an antidote to that crisis, surveying 2025's most notable releases thus far across pop, rock, electronic, rap, and Latin music. Wednesday, 'Elderberry Wine' The North Carolina band Wednesday, led by Karly Hartzman since forming in 2017, fuses the blistering edges of shoegaze and the twangy ache of country (shall we call it rootgaze?) into a vessel for vivid, gnarled storytelling, filled with literary detail. This heartbreaker from Wednesday's sixth full-length, due in September, is the most finely-wrought tune yet from the group, which includes the ascendant MJ Lenderman on guitar. (His cover of This Is Lorelei's 'Dancing in the Club' is another of the year's best releases so far.) The titular metaphor refers to a healing herb that becomes toxic in the wrong dosage, much as love requires the right proportions to find harmony. Jenny Hval, 'To be a rose' Ten years ago this month, the Norwegian auteur Jenny Hval released her fifth album, Apocalypse, girl, cementing her stature as a modern art-pop luminary. Also a novelist, Hval makes records that brim with presence, intelligence, and the suspended elegance of Laurie Anderson or Suzanne Vega. Like some of her best songs—'That Battle Is Over' and 'American Coffee' among them—'To be a rose,' from May's Iris Silver Mist, is an electroacoustic musical bildungsroman. It seems to braid two abstracted narratives, hers and her mother's, both in pursuit of beauty, swelling to exalted synth chords and referencing Gertrude Stein for good measure. Nourished by Time, 'Max Potential' On Marcus Brown's 2023 debut, recorded in his parents' basement during the pandemic, the Baltimore songwriter and producer, known as Nourished by Time, fused meticulously arranged club anthems with DIY textures—favoring maximal emotional impact. 'Max Potential,' the dizzying jam of a lead single from his forthcoming The Passionate Ones, is the apotheosis of his project to date. 'If I'm gonna go insane/ At least I'm loved by you,' Brown sings, stretching each syllable into a titanic hook that charts a euphoric new horizon. Marie Davidson, 'Sexy Clown' Montreal electronic producer and poet Marie Davidson writes spoken-word accompaniments that cut through the icy facades of club culture, staring listeners in the eye. Drawing inspiration from Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, this electroclash banger from City of Clowns sounds like a person's digital footprint lost in a fun-house maze—like life itself in the algorithmic echo chamber of targeted advertising and calculated self-promotion. 'Sexy Clown' taunts the entire system: 'Can you feel the cutting edge/ Of my dying tenderness?' goes Davidson's earnest sing-song chorus, an invitation to log off in service of your truest self. Perfume Genius, 'It's a Mirror' For 15 years as Perfume Genius, Mike Hadreas has built one of the most consistently arresting catalogs in independent music. That streak continues with Glory, the singer and songwriter's latest collaboration with his partner Alan Wyffels and producer Blake Mills. Inside of an expressive indie-rock sound as precise, stylish, and grounded as mid-century architecture, album opener 'It's a Mirror' finds Hadreas sounding at home, even as he reckons lyrically with how to steel oneself in face of the world and the mirror alike. Mills, a longtime associate of Fiona Apple, knows this territory well: the pointed self-analysis of an extremely sensitive person. Turnstile, 'Never Enough' With 2021's Glow On, the Baltimore rock quintet Turnstile became not only the biggest band to emerge from the global hardcore scene in recent years, but one of the biggest bands to emerge from this supercharged strain of punk ever. Post-pandemic restlessness was just one feature of the perfect storm that catapulted Turnstile and their legendary, highly participatory live shows into the pop-cultural zeitgeist. 'At the right place, at the right time/ And still you sink into the floor,' Brendan Yates sings on the bracingly honest title track of Turnstile's hugely anticipated followup, a reminder that at the heart of Turnstile's whirlwind moment is unified, shared experience. Spellling, 'Alibi' The Bay Area artist Tia Cabral made her name first as a homespun R&B sorcerer, then, on 2021's The Turning Wheel, as an heir to the widescreen synth-pop idiosyncrasies of Kate Bush and the vocal audacity of Minnie Riperton. She's taken her most unexpected pivot yet on this epic kiss-off from Portrait of My Heart, with visceral riffs and overdriven melodies evoking the high-wire emo theatrics that infiltrated MTV during the 33-year-old's own teenage years. With contributions from Turnstile guitarist Pat McCrory, 'Alibi' enacts its line-in-the-sand sentiment of post-breakup clarity: 'Yeah I won't take you back this time!' she sing-screams with abandon, finding a new side of herself instead. Lana Del Rey, 'Henry Come On' Aside from flecking her lyrics with the occasional 'giddy-up' and 'hey y'all,' there's nothing especially down-home about the sound of this lead single from Lana Del Rey's next album, which is purported to be a country turn from the California fatalist whose best-loved LP included a psych sprawler titled 'Venice Bitch.' This would-be cowgirl is all Lana, chronicling her destiny alongside a tormented man with a torchy deadpan. 'Yesterday I heard God say/ I was born to the one,' she croons, 'Who holds the hands of the man/ Who flies too close to the sun.' Saba & No ID, 'How to Impress God' On this brash mini-anthem of anti-materialism, two generations of Chicago-bred rap royalty link up for a conversation with the creator, too, determining what really matters. Jewels, cars, clothes? Hard no's. Album streams? Try again. Packed arenas get a disenchanted 'Woo.' Tucked into the second half of Saba and No ID's collaborative album, 'How to Impress God' is a flash of casual brilliance from Saba's searing pen. When he finally gives voice to God, self-acceptance is the message: 'Don't you know I gave you keys before you had a piano?/ Don't you know you enough?' (Paging Turnstile.) Bad Bunny, 'DtMF' Música urbana supernova Bad Bunny has called DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, from January—the title translates to 'I Should Have Taken More Pictures'—his 'most Puerto Rican album ever,' even as recent years found him moving away from home. 'When you are far, sometimes you can see better, you can appreciate more,' he told the New York Times. This focused celebration of traditional Puerto Rican rhythms plays out stirringly on his chart-topping title track, a plena whose live instrumentation and joyfully communal hook are like a cinéma-vérité bridge between generations, on the world's stage (and, yes, TikTok).

Belinda's ‘Indómita' Album & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Belinda, (Warner Music México) More from Billboard Jon Bellion Was Tired of Songwriters Getting 'Paid F-king Dirt' - So He Flipped the Script With 'Father Figure' Elvis Crespo, Elena Rose, Kapo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video When Belinda received the Evolution Award at the 2025 Billboard Latin Women in Music gala, she made it clear that 'Belinda isn't a musical genre.' During a career that spans 25 years, she's navigated through pop, rock, electronic, cumbia, and most recently, música mexicana. 'My career is versatile…it's the perfect word to define my style,' she previously told Billboard. Best representing her fruitful and experimental growth in the industry, the Spain-born, Mexican-raised star dropped Indómita, her sixth studio album and debut set under Warner Music. The 17-track album starts off with nine 'corridos coquettes,' where her alter ego 'Beli Bélica' shines in collaborations with genre hitmakers Natanael Cano ('300 Noches'), Tito Double P ('La Cuadrada'), and Xavi ('Mírame Feliz'). Across the next eight songs, she dabbles in trap music ('Death Note' and 'Silvana'); teams up with Netón Vega and Tokischa for two hard-hitting perreos ('+ Perra, + Bitch' and 'Wet Dreams'); and goes full dance in the Kenia OS-assisted 'Jackpot.' Other collaborators on the set include Alemán, Mala Rodriguez and Thirty Second to Mars. 'The [album's] title is very specific to a movement for women,' she explained of Indómita, which means 'untamed.' 'She's a warrior, independent, a woman who's out of the box, completely irreverent but at the same time strong, sexy, fun… all the things I like and that I am, and I'd like to convey that to people.' — JESSICA ROIZ Óscar Maydon, (Rancho Humilde) Excess, irreverence and romance collide in Óscar Maydon's Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1, a whirlwind of sierreño swagger that feels like a tequila-soaked fever dream. Across 12 tracks, the Mexicali artist channels the debauchery and drama of late-night escapades, weaving tales of fleeting romances ('Mr. Vallarta'), dismissal ('Para Ti') and indulgence ('ZAZA,' the only trap song). The party kicks off on 'Baja Beach,' a sun-drenched anthem named after the infamous Mexican festival, with Junior H and Fuerza Regida joining the revelry. 'Desvelada' turns up the nocturnal chaos alongside Peso Pluma and Netón Vega, while the focus track 'Asquerosamente Rico' with Peso takes playful opulence to new heights. On '2030,' Maydon rides solo, mixing carnivalesque accordion riffs with a pulsing electric bassline to deliver a debauched, dystopian glimpse into the future. The album is the right amount of star-studded that Luis R Conríquez and Gabito Ballesteros also join him on 'Fina Con Los Valentinos.' With pre-released hits 'Tu boda' and 'Amigos? No.' rounding out the collection, Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1 reaffirms Maydon's devil-may-care and romantic style. But more than a party album, it's a work where the unbridled fun and excitement feel as real as the early mornings it invokes. — ISABELA RAYGOZA Elvis Crespo, (Puntería Records) Merengue star Elvis Crespo delivers Poeta Herío, a term from Puerto Rican slang that translates to 'hurt poet.' The 13-track set showcases the vibrant essence of merengue, featuring lively rhythms and heartfelt lyrics encapsulating the joys and struggles of life through his music. The LP is a vibrant tapestry of tropical sounds, featuring an impressive roster of both legendary icons and rising stars. With Elvis Crespo at the helm, the project immerses listeners in his signature genres of spirited merengue, lively mambo and infectious bachata. This new chapter in Crespo's musical journey is fueled by collaborations with a diverse array of artists such as Ivy Queen, Jerry Rivera, Toño Rosario, Tony Tun Tun and Víctor Manuelle. Standout tracks include 'Cora Roto,' an emotionally charged song where Crespo unveils a gripping narrative of betrayal, where hidden truths come to light, revealing a harsh and unforgiving reality. This is followed by several heartfelt goodbye letters and concludes the album with a revamped version of his classic 'Nuestra Canción,' featuring Jerry Rivera. — INGRID FAJARDO Ozuna, 'Sirenita' (Nibiru International) Ozuna hasn't released an album in two years, so he could be setting the tone for a potential LP with the two singles he's released so far this year. His latest, 'Sirenita,' is a vibrant fusion of Afrobeats and the Puerto Rican hitmaker's signature rhythmic-leaning urban production, which serves as the perfect canvas for his sweet and delicate vocals. The lyrics to 'Sirenita' — which tell the story of a girl who's stolen Ozuna's heart — are a testament to Ozuna's knack for writing sensitive, romantic songs. 'Sirenita' serves as the lead-up to Ozuna's summer tour in Europe that will kick off on June 20 in Milan and span over ten cities across the continent. — GRISELDA FLORES Elena Rose, Sistek & Mazzarri, 'SINTIGO' (Warner Music Latina) Accompanied by producers Sistek and Mazzarri, Elena Rose releases 'SINTIGO,' an evocative track with an electronic vibe that explores the emotional contradiction of wanting someone to stay but also wanting them to leave. 'How do I tell you? My life without you makes no sense,' the artist sings over a subtle fusion of house with Afrobeats, resulting in a delicate yet euphoric soundtrack for summer. 'SINTIGO' – a Spanish play of the words 'Sin ti' (without you) and 'Contigo' (with you) – is the first preview of the Venezuelan singer-songwriter's highly anticipated debut LP, following her 2024 EP En Las Nubes – Con Mis Panas. 'This is the first of everything,' Elena wrote on Instagram. 'A summer without drama is coming … full of beautiful things.' – SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Adriel Favela, Eddy, 'KbrN InfeLiZ' (Fono) Adriel Favela's 'KbrN InfeLiZ,' the first single from his upcoming album Elysium, is a sad sierreño song powered by raw lyrics about a man who realizes that his lifestyle and emotional failings make him incapable of loving someone back the way he is loved. The sierreño-style guitars add an even more dramatic and profound touch to the track, in which the regional Mexican star is accompanied by Eddy, an emerging música mexicana artist who has previously collaborated with Gabito Ballesteros, Calle 24 and Ed Maverick. 'KbrN InfeLiZ' has the makings of an anthem for today's generation. – TERE AGUILERA Kapo, 'Korazong' (Sony Music Latin/La Industria) Kapo's 'Korazong' is a romantic declaration of love powered by a hypnotic Afrobeats sound. Written by the Colombian singer and produced by Gangsta, the song is distinguished by its poetic and sincere lyrics in which Kapo, with his unmistakable raspy voice, sings to that woman who came to heal his heart and transform it with love. Although it is still early to know if it will be his next hit, what is clear is that Kapo reaffirms his knack for authentic songs that touch the heartstrings and appeal to all types of listeners. — LUISA CALLE Check out more Latin recommendations this week below: Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart
