Rauw Alejandro Releases Afro-Caribbean Tribute Album Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0

Rauw Alejandro has released his sixth studio album, Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0, a prequel to his 2024 chart-topping album Cosa Nuestra, which serves as a tribute to Afro-Caribbean roots and Puerto Rican bomba. The 14-track album explores a broad spectrum of Caribbean music, including traditional bomba, plena, salsa, and bachata, featuring collaborations with artists like Mon Laferte, Wisin, Ñengo Flow, and Romeo Santos. Alejandro's work reflects a deep cultural journey that connects the Caribbean islands as one nation with shared heritage, and he uses this album to expand his musical exploration beyond Puerto Rico to include influences from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Haiti. The project has been met with critical acclaim and commercial success, debuting at number one on the Latin Albums chart and reaching number six on the Billboard 200, with singles topping various Latin music charts. While on tour, Alejandro has also opened up about experiencing anxiety on stage, highlighting the physical and mental demands of his rigorous performance schedule. His ongoing Cosa Nuestra World Tour continues to showcase his dynamic showmanship and commitment to celebrating his roots through music.
