With major collaborations including Carín Leónand Sabino, Sonoro reaffirms Panteón Rococó’s place as one of the most beloved and influential bands in Latin America.
Meanwhile, Chicago-based artist Mila La Morena is building momentum for her upcoming album Post Internet with her vibrant new single, “ESPEJO.” The track is a powerful Chicago house anthem that celebrates love, freedom, and joy, particularly within queer friend groups who find sanctuary on the dance floor. Written at Finesse Studio and produced by KALIFRN and MONVCO, this Spanglish song delivers a rhythm-packed atmosphere with fierce and unapologetic lyrics. “ESPEJO” is a perfect example of how contemporary Latin artists are honoring their roots while pushing boundaries.
Finally, a powerful piece of music history is reborn with Haydée Milanés and her father, the legendary Pablo Milanés, in a new version of his classic song “Para Vivir.” This moving duet has a fresh and modern musical arrangement that respects the poetic essence of the original while appealing to a new generation of listeners. The song, which has been performed by greats like Alejandro Sanz and Marc Anthony, takes on a new layer of emotion and intimacy as a tribute from a daughter to her father, ensuring its timeless message lives on.
