The Dominican star Chimbala is known for his unmistakable brand of energetic, adrenaline-fueled dembow, but he’s also proven his versatility with more pop-driven fare. His latest track “Déjate Ver” is one example that shows off a more romantic, vulnerable side of the artist. The song, as he tells Rolling Stone, is a deeply personal one that “celebrates love: my love towards my culture, my fans, my music and my country.”
The video, directed by Starlyn Javier, is playful and lighthearted, following Chimbala before he proposes to his girlfriend on a beach.

Natti Natasha has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, but on “Mayor Que Usted,” she takes her place among the legends. The collaboration features Daddy Yankee and Wisin & Yandel, veterans with decades of experience who have all announced that they’re retiring from music this year (Wisin & Yandel will continue on with solo careers.) Just before they close out their respective chapters, they join Natti as she draws inspiration from reggaeton’s classic era to sashay into the future.

The spread of Covid-19 is boosting a trio of songs across Latin America this week: Mister Cumbia’s brassy “La Cumbia Del Coronavirus,” Kaseeno’s hard-charging “Coronavirus,” and Yofrangel and Fraga’s darting “Corona Virus” are performing well on the Spotify viral charts in multiple countries.
This is both bizarre — who needs yet another reminder of the deadly pandemic sweeping the globe? — and entirely characteristic of modern listening habits. When almost everything is easily accessible, a surge in musical interest can come from anywhere. Literal-minded fans who keep a close...

Chimbala’s “Rueda” is a slippery single. The cheerful melody evokes the golden oldie “Stand by Me,” preparing listeners for warm expressions of eternal affection. But that’s a feint — the Dominican singer uses this backdrop to say “good riddance” to an ex.
Merging this combination with a galloping beat gave Chimbala his biggest hit: “Rueda” has nearly 30 million streams on Spotify and another 20 million on YouTube. The singer released a new version of the track on Thursday, with help from two Spanish collaborators, Omar Montes — who hit Number One...
