AceShowbiz - Piso 21 unveils its eighth studio album, Trescender, marking a significant milestone as the first release following the departure of former member Lorduy in January 2025. The album’s title cleverly combines the Spanish words for “transcendence” and “three,” reflecting the trio’s evolution and enduring presence over nearly two decades in the Latin music scene.

The 12-track collection opens with the funk-rock inspired song “Bruno Mars,” where members Dim, Profe, and Pablo openly express their desire for a future collaboration with the iconic American artist. The album continues with a series of high-profile collaborations, including the viral salsa hit “Volver” featuring Marc Anthony and Beéle, which has captivated audiences with its infectious rhythm and emotional depth.

Piso 21 stays true to its signature pop sound throughout Trescender while branching out into diverse genres. The group experiments with merengue in “Regalito” alongside Juan Duque, vallenato with Fonseca on “Felices de Mentira,” and bolero on “Por Si Mañana No Estoy” featuring Andres Cepeda. These genre-blending efforts showcase the band’s versatility and willingness to explore new musical landscapes while maintaining their romantic and uplifting lyrical themes.

Significantly, Trescender is Piso 21’s first studio album released under their own record label, Tres Sietes, a move they revealed during an exclusive album release party held in Miami on March 12, 2026. Additional collaborators on the project include popular Latin artists Bacilos, Lasso, and Yami Safdie, further enriching the album’s sound and appeal.

Alongside Trescender, the Latin music world is also buzzing with new releases from other influential artists. Italian singer Laura Pausini honors two decades since her original covers album with Yo Canto 2, a tribute featuring 18 tracks—or 21 in the deluxe edition—celebrating Latin American music and artists who have inspired her career. This album includes covers of iconic songs like Juan Luis Guerra’s “Bachata Rosa,” Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” Gloria Estefan’s “Oye Mi Canto,” and Shakira’s “Antología.”

Pausini approaches these classics with a matured voice, exploring new emotional textures across genres. For instance, she offers a rockier edge in Fito Páez’s “Mariposa Tecknicolor,” a sublime rendition of Violeta Parra’s anthem “Gracias a la Vida,” and a heartfelt performance of Bad Bunny’s ballad “Turista.” The album also features collaborations bridging generations, such as with veteran Ricardo Montaner on “Cuando Nacen Amores” and young artist Yami Safdie on Joan Sebastian’s “Eso y Más.”

Meanwhile, Mexican singer Luis R Conriquez releases his latest single “Muchacho Alegre,” a bold celebration of his journey from humble origins in Caborca, Sonora, to a life marked by success and luxury. The song’s energetic blend of steel guitars and brass reflects his rise and unapologetic confidence, with lyrics that emphasize hard work and enjoyment of the fruits of his labor. The accompanying music video juxtaposes scenes of Conriquez on an expansive Mexican ranch with shots of Parisian landmarks, highlighting the contrast between his roots and current lifestyle.

Spanish rock legend Enrique Bunbury introduces “La próxima vez no habrá próxima vez,” the fourth single from his upcoming album De un siglo anterior. The song’s title, meaning “Next time there will be no next time,” conveys a sense of finality and emotional depth. Bunbury blends blues, country, and rock elements, supported by nostalgic guitar work. His distinctive voice adds layers of wisdom and vulnerability, delivering a powerful message about irreversible boundaries.

In the regional Mexican scene, Banda Carnaval presents No Tiene Precio, an album that showcases the group’s mastery of Sinaloan traditional sounds. The production, led by Jesús Tirado, features the trademark instrumentation of tuba, trumpets, clarinets, snare drums, and tambora. The album’s 10 tracks range from romantic ballads like “Si Se Trata de Ti” to songs about heartbreak such as “De Nuestro Amor No Queda Nada” and “El Que Se Lleva Se Aguanta.”

The album also includes a corrido “El Lucero,” narrating the life of a magnificent horse and ranch, and the title track, which celebrates simple family life and love. Danceable tunes like “Cumbia Carnaval” and the upbeat “Por Aquí Pasó María” add variety and balance, reflecting the group’s versatility within their traditional style.

Miami-based Cuban artists Dale Pututi and Nesty continue their successful collaboration streak with the new single “Maridón,” produced by RoMn Beatz. Despite each maintaining solo careers, their teamwork has yielded innovative music blending reparto and ranchera genres. “Maridón,” a Cuban slang term roughly meaning “dumb boyfriend,” tells the story of a man secretly involved with a woman already in a relationship. The playful lyrics explore themes of deception and infidelity, with a catchy chorus that calls out the oblivious boyfriend.

This track serves as a subtle sequel to their previous collaboration “Los Despechaos” with Tito El Bambino, where the narrative voice was that of a man bitter after a breakup now becoming the other man himself.

Mexican rock band Enjambre delivers their new album Daños Luz, described by lead singer Luis Humberto Navejas as “a tunnel of eras.” This 11-track record connects their adolescent memories from Zacatecas with their current musical expression. The album takes listeners on a reflective journey through themes of loss, growth, and hope.

Tracks like “Desfaces,” “El regalo,” “Vida en el espectro,” and the punk-rock influenced “Mente adolescente”—inspired by Argentine bands such as Dos Minutos—showcase a blend of nostalgia and experimentation. Songs such as “Angustias” delve into emotional struggles, while “Errante” explores identity. Enjambre’s release demonstrates both emotional and artistic maturity, reaffirming their status among Billboard’s 50 Best Latin Rock Bands of All Time.
