Venezuelan Rap Project Unites Multiple Generations

Billboard Latin highlights emerging Latin music artists such as Angelina Victoria, a versatile Chicago-born singer making waves in regional Mexican music, and Cielo Torres, a leading Peruvian salsa vocalist known for her powerful performances. Venezuelan rapper Crisler “El Espadachín” has released El Caracazo 2025, a collaborative hip hop project uniting multiple generations of Venezuelan rappers, aiming to showcase national talent and lyricism. Colombian singer Karol G has embraced a Pan-Latin acoustic style in her latest work, replacing electronic beats with traditional percussion, while Argentine vocalist Roxana Amed reimagines Argentine rock through jazz influences. In Brazil, queer artists are reclaiming frevo, a high-energy musical and dance tradition historically dominated by cisgender, heteronormative performers, using it as a form of cultural and political expression. These developments illustrate a vibrant and diverse Latin music scene continually evolving through new voices and innovative blends of tradition and modernity.
