Mexican Music | Upbeat Latin Music Makes an Appearance! (11–20)
Rumba ft. WisinAnahí
RBD is a Mexican pop group that was also nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards.
Anahí, featured here, is a former member of RBD who has continued to gain popularity as a solo artist, selling 3 million albums worldwide.
One of her classic hits is Rumba ft.
Wisin.
She has released many catchy tracks, but her talent particularly shines when it comes to reggaeton.
This song is also produced as a reggaeton track, and its upbeat melody is especially memorable.
ObsesionFrankie J
Frankie J is a Mexico-born male singer-songwriter active out of the United States.
Although he is based in the U.S., he has an extensive catalog of Spanish-language works and enjoys overwhelming popularity throughout the Spanish-speaking world, including Mexico and Spain.
One of his signature songs is Obsesion.
It’s a quintessential R&B track crafted with plenty of the “fake” vocal embellishments that were trendy in the 2000s, resulting in a stylish, cohesive vibe throughout.
DisfrutoCarla Morrison
Carla Morrison is one of the most internationally successful Mexican artists.
She has won Latin Grammy Awards and been nominated for the Grammys, making her one of the most globally popular Mexican artists.
Her greatest appeal lies in her expressiveness—her delicate, ephemeral voice resonates deeply with listeners.
Disfruto is one of her signature songs, crafted with a dark, sorrowful tone reminiscent of Billie Eilish.
Cuando Volvamos al MarFer Casillas
If you like stylish music, I recommend “Cuando Volvamos al Mar.” The singer is a woman named Fer Casillas.
While her roots are in R&B, many of her works are groovy, and her musical style leans more toward neo-soul.
This track also showcases that neo-soul side of her.
It’s a gem where a simple, groovy track matches perfectly with her languid, improvisational vocal runs.
Te DejaréLety López
Leti López is a Mexico-born female artist who is also active as a stage actress and voice actress.
She’s known for a style centered on mariachi, a traditional Mexican music genre.
“Te Dejaré” is one of her songs I especially recommend.
If I had to sum up the song’s appeal in one word, it would be “balance.” By skillfully blending mariachi with contemporary pop music, it achieves a sound that even those who aren’t fond of folk music can enjoy.
