On this episode, we spotlight some exciting new tracks from truly special artists within the Latin alternative music scene — starting with a glimpse of Nelly Furtado's new album, 7.
The pop icon teamed up with Colombia’s beloved Bomba Estéreo on “Corazón,” a dynamic collaboration that merges Furtado's signature sound with the band's vibrant Latin rhythms, creating a track that celebrates cultural fusion and musical creativity. Her distinctive voice and their lively production make this a must-hear ahead of Furtado's long-anticipated album, which drops Sept. 20.
The musical discoveries on this episode don't stop there. We also feature Ivan Cornejo, who just released his new project, Mirada. The album showcases Cornejo's heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, and is deeply influenced by his Mexican-American heritage. It explores themes of love, introspection and personal growth, all delivered through Cornejo's soulful voice and unique Latin style. Milwaukee fans lucky enough to catch his recent performance at Summerfest already know what this album reveals: Cornejo is a rising star in the Latin music scene.
