Lots of new music hit this week.

The Latin Breed – Come and Get It – Known for their ability to go from Tejano to R&B in an instant, the legendary Latin Breed lays down some amazing musicality with this funky tune. Give it a listen and enjoy the vocals of Ben Miranda and the hard-driving Latin Breed horns.

Los Palominos – No Le Digas A Nadie – They’ve been warning us that they were dropping a sure hit and they came through. Uvalde’s own Los Palominos released this first single, and Humildes classic, since their personnel change. One thing is for sure, they have not lost any of their commitment to the legacy sound that put them on the map decades ago. If anything, this recent musical styling brings back some 90s hey-day memories. Our friends at Tejano Nation have more.

Grupo Fuerte – Mucho Corazon – The Houston-area’s own, Carlos Maldonado y Grupo Fuerte, has a long history as a heavy-hitting conjunto. This rendition of a classic on their 25th Anniversary, with some nice pasaditas on the bajo sexto, the dueling saxes, and a great vocal, is what we needed.

Joe Lopez y El Grupo Mazz – Dame La Mano – This is another Tejano single which has been charting in Mexico radio and on online platforms from the King of Tejano’s latest album, Love From The Heart. Written by Lopez, the tune has more of an 80s synth sound that fits in with the current demand for new tunes. The entire album is definitely a must-have.

Apologies for being among the missing (online, that is) as I’ve been busy with a move lately. But there’s always time for music! So, here are some new tunes that got on my radar recently.

Joe Lopez y Mazz – Igual Que Ayer – The “King of Tejano” returns with a new single which will be part of a brand new album–the first album since his return to the stage. Lopez has enjoyed his return backed up by some of the best musicians in the business, including his 90s Mazz bandmate Brando Mireles on keyboards. And this new tune brings back memories of that heyday. Even the smooth guitar playing by Juaquin Cura has a “Jimmy” feel to it. Let’s hope the rest of the album is released soon because we really need new music.

Ricardo Montaner – El Dia Que Me Quieras – The Argentino-Venezolano crooner just dropped this classic Carlos Gardel tango, one of my favorites. Unlike Luis Miguel’s orchestral version back in the 90s, Montaner stays true to Gardel’s original sound. And that’s a good thing since his album is titled, Tango. I’ve really enjoyed this tune.

Monica Saldivar – Este Dolor – Saldivar dropped this new ranchera this week. The Grand Prairie native was selected in 2020 Best Female Artist at the Tejano Music Awards and deservedly so. Saldivar is one of the new talents en la onda Tejana. Check out her story here.
