Los Angeles, California, April 18, 2025 — In a musical collaboration that bridges generations, Ana Bárbara, an undisputed icon of Mexican music, joins forces with Yahritza y Su Esencia, the youthful trio that has revolutionized the regional scene with their authenticity, to release “Besos Robados”, a deeply emotional ballad now available on all digital platforms.
With lyrics that speak of forbidden love, longing, and an unbreakable bond with Mexican roots, “Besos Robados” is more than just a song — it’s a bridge between past and present, a living testament to how traditional music can evolve without losing its soul.
The production, restrained yet emotionally charged, strikes a perfect balance between Ana Bárbara’s interpretive maturity and Yahritza’s raw sensitivity, creating a space where both voices shine and intertwine in a shared emotional experience. The track was composed and produced by Ana Bárbara, Yahritza Martínez, José Armando Martínez, and Emiliano Gallardo — a collaborative effort where each artist left their emotional and creative mark.
This release marks a significant moment in regional Mexican music. Ana Bárbara, with a career that has broken barriers and opened doors in a historically male-dominated industry, reaffirms her place as a tireless trailblazer. Meanwhile, Yahritza y Su Esencia emerge as legitimate heirs to that emotional legacy, breathing new life into timeless sounds with an authenticity that has captivated thousands of young listeners.
“Besos Robados” is more than a single — it is a statement of continuity, respect, and transformation, where Mexican music is renewed without forgetting its roots. A powerful declaration that feelings know no age, and that love — even if forbidden — always finds its way into song.
