As of last week, it is officially Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month! Here are some alternative Latin songs I’ve been vibing to lately for you to enjoy in your playlist, too!
- TÚ sÍ sabes quererme by natalia lafourcade
-
This song has been on REPEAT the past few weeks for me, and a line that keeps sticking in my head is “el amor perfecto comienza por mí misma,” which translates to “the perfect love starts with myself.” Let’s talk about self love!
- buenos genes by rels b ft. dellafuente
-
There was something pretty special about Rels B performing this live, because I have been listening to “Buenos Genes” ever since!
- que diablos hice (interlude) by eslabon armado
-
We love a nice interlude.
- TÚ me dejaste de querer by c. tangana, niÑo de elche & la hÚngara
-
C. Tangana is quite popular in the Latin alternative realm, and honestly every song I have heard off this album has been a banger.
- no necesito mÁs by marissa mur
-
I felt it when she says “lleváme a Cayo Coco y Costa Rica.”
- TÍrame un hello remix by ramon vega and kenia os
-
Simply put, this song is good vibes.
- prometÍ by mati gÓmez
-
Another constant repeat for me.
- fuera del mercado by danny ocean
-
This song might get you in your feels, but it ends with an empowering reminder to love yourself first.
- ya acabÓ by marca mp ft. becky g
-
I’m listening to this song and romanticizing my life in a coffee shop right now.
- 200 copas by karol g
-
For some reason, I am obsessed with the casual introduction to this song. Karol’s voice is so sweet!
- ahora by bomba estÉreo
-
This song is such an important reminder to breathe, ground yourself, and live in the present.
- el poeta by humbe
-
As a struggling poet, I relate to this song on an emotional level.
- flor by los rivera destino ft. benito martÍnez
-
Perhaps you happened to recognize the featured artist as, oh, I don’t know, Bad Bunny?! He sings in this and that is just about all I have to say as to why this song is a must listen.
- isla morenita by carlos sadness
-
An escape to a place like “Isla Morenita” sounds pretty nice.
- juro que by rosalÍa
-
You may be familiar with “LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE” and “DESPECHÁ,” but some of my all-time favorite Rosalía songs are her alternative hits! There is something magical about this track that I simply cannot explain.
