1.Como Tú-Luna Luna
RC Thoughts: I’ve been following them on TikTok for a while, and this is a group to watch as well. This song has fun beats to get up and dance. I am feeling this song!

2.Mi Decisión-Julión Álvarez y su Norteño Banda
RC Thoughts: I love anything Julión, I need to see him LIVE one day. He is on my list!
#19 on YouTube’s Top Music Songs of the Week.

3.La Samaria-Bomba Estéreo, Carlos Vives
RC Thoughts: I love this collab, and the song is a beautiful song about migration and reflecting on our homes and journeys. It’s a tribute to Colombia’s oldest city.

4.Mi Entorno-Virlán García
RC Thoughts: YouTube’s Top 20 song of the Week. Regional Mexican song that has strong lyrics about being a strong person who is in charge of their own legacy/journey.

5.Una Noche Más-TINI
RC Thoughts: Upbeat and fun Salsa/Pop song. I can see myself vibing to this song on my way to work.

6.Respirar-Los Aptos
RC Thoughts: I saw them at La Onda 2025 earlier this year; they are definitely on my watch list. The song has a blend of Regional Mexican guitars and vibey music. I can definitely see a collab with Cuc, Kevin Kaarl, or TheMarias on this song.

7.HARD WAY-BIA ft. Becky G
RC Thoughts: The beats are coming from Shakira’s ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ and hip-hop vibes. Love the bilingualism in the song with BIA and Becky G. I can’t wait for the music video.

8.Amarte A La Medida-Pancho Barraza, Olga Tañón
RC Thoughts: An unexpected duo and beautiful blend of Merengue and Regional Mexican coming together. Puerto Rico and Mexico are in the house. Such a powerful song with amazing lyrics.

9.SIN MI-MARCA MP
RC Thoughts: A Regional Mexican song that gets in your feels with a strong bass of the tololoche.

10.MALPORTADA-NATHY PELUSO, Rawayana
RC Thoughts: A salsa blend of drums and impossible to have you sitting still, definitely wanting to misbehave like the song title 🙂
