Pomona and Phoenix duo Corridos Ketamina are rewriting what regional Mexican music can hold. On the seven-song Cktriz, Henny Fay and Nico Malva honor the classic corridos storytelling they grew up respecting while pulling in the alternative influences they found as children of immigrants in the internet age, and they take it to Los Angeles this Sunday for And Always Forever Festival.

Pomona/Phoenix-based musical duo Corridos Ketamina release their new project Cktriz via DEEP LOVE Recordings. The 7-song project defines a new creative chapter for the duo of Henny Fay and Nico Malva, who stretch the confines of contemporary regional Mexican music and fill in the holes with alternative music influences they internalized as the children of immigrants looking to form their own tastes in the internet age. Cktriz includes the duo’s slate of early singles including “K Me Maten”, “Modo Tarantino”, “Felina” and “Ambient Wife”. Last week, the duo celebrated the EP in New York with a release party in the basement of Nightclub 101, joined by Dylan Brady (of 100 gecs) and Nick León.

From their very first releases as part of the Corridos Ketamina project, Henny and Nico have always held an admiration and respect for the traditional corridos and the legends of Mexican regional music, while also understanding their world contains the nuances of growing up in the US to immigrant parents. Their music as Corridos Ketamina pays homage to the classic corridos genre tropes of vigilante and heartbreak music, but reinvigorates those stories through a contemporary lens that reflects their experiences and their exposure to an endless catalogue of music.

Cktriz represents the varied identity of Mexican-American culture, embodying the romanticism of regional Mexican music’s penchant for storytelling and channeling those lyrics through songs from two musical minds who were influenced by the likes of King Krule, Yung Lean and other alternative heroes. Cktriz broadens the horizons for regional Mexican music, opening the genre up to interpretation from a wider, weirder and more inclusive community that represents the full breadth of the Mexican, and Mexican American experience, which the duo elaborated on in their Gen F profile with The FADER earlier this year.

Henny, Nico and the entire Corridos Ketamina collective have built an all-encompassing underground world with CK, that includes visuals, merch, events and their music. Henny and Nico have been on an extensive run of live shows and DIY performances in 2026 so far, including sets at Elsewhere Halloween in Brooklyn, III Points Festival in Miami, the DEEP LOVE LIVE showcase at Elysian Park Helipad in LA, and joining ear on their eclectic Rumspringa ’26 tour in Mexico City. Next, the duo will embark back to LA where they’ll perform at And Always Forever Festival in LA Sunday night, alongside the likes of Sophia Stel, Rockie Rode, james k, Jawnino and more.

Bachata’s king and prince turned Buenos Aires into a Caribbean party on Saturday night, as Romeo Santos and Prince Royce brought their joint Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour to a completely sold-out Estadio Vélez Sarsfield, with more than 45,000 fans singing along to one of the most anticipated concerts of the year.

Romeo Santos and Prince Royce arrived in Argentina on their hugely successful Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour, after touring Latin America, Europe and the United States with more than eighty sold-out performances.

Before a completely sold-out Estadio Vélez Sarsfield, the two biggest names in bachata worldwide delivered a monumental show of more than two hours. With an imposing stage production and world-class visuals, Romeo Santos and Prince Royce sealed their great bond with the Argentine public through an unbeatable repertoire of generational anthems such as “Propuesta Indecente,” “Darte un Beso,” “Llévame Contigo,” “Ay! San Miguel” and “La Diabla,” among others that had more than 45,000 people vibrating.

The opening was an energetic shared block in which both revisited the songs from their recent joint project Better Late Than Never, drawing a huge ovation from the very first minute.

The concert flowed smoothly between shared moments and individual segments. Romeo Santos showed off his magnetism, sensuality and vocal mastery at the front of his biggest hits, while Prince Royce dazzled with his pop charisma and melodic warmth. The chemistry between the two shone at every moment live, playing with the crowd’s complicity and measuring the fervor of the stands in a true Caribbean party.

The Buenos Aires stop had a luxury warm-up in Córdoba, where the iconic duo won over the Córdoba crowd under the open sky at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes with the same chemistry and artistic power on November 12.

The night at Vélez brought together two bachata icons on their Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour, a historic run through 20 countries and more than 80 massive concerts across Latin America, Europe and the United States, cementing this summit as an unrepeatable event in the history of the genre. The Argentina dates closed with Córdoba on November 12 and Buenos Aires on November 14, both sold out.
