On this episode of La Alternativa, we delve into the vibrant world of young talent within Latin alternative pop, rock and dance — starting with a beautiful collaboration between Argentine rapper WOS and Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade.
Combining socially conscious, emotive lyrics with captivating vocals, their collaboration titled "LA NIEBLA" masterfully infuses themes of love, loss and the relentless pursuit of dreams with a hauntingly beautiful melancholy, navigating through life's challenges with poetic grace.
Another rising star getting some shine in this episode is Italian-Mexican singer-songwriter Bu Cuaron. We feature her latest single, "Viceversa," from her Drop By When You Drop Dead EP released under AWAL Records. The collection of songs showcases a blend of trilingual and experimental pop textures, with "Viceversa" serving as her first release since the acclaimed 2019 track "Psycho."
