Paulo Londra Releases Third Album ‘Entre Cielos’

Published

on

Paulo Londra did this one entirely his way. The Argentine star released Entre Cielos on Wednesday, October 21, through Dale Play Records — his third studio album, 10 tracks, and notably, entirely solo: not a single guest feature, a deliberate contrast to 2022’s feature-stacked Back to the Game.

Produced by the duo Tiano & Lisan Beat, the album stretches beyond Latin urban into bachata, cumbia, merengue and indie-rock touches, with singles “Me asfixia la ciudad” and “Highlights” previewing the range ahead of release.

The launch was a moment of its own. Londra marked release day with a free surprise show at the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City, drawing more than 10,000 fans — the kind of crowd that underlines his standing as one of Latin music’s biggest draws, with more than 13.7 million Instagram followers behind him.

His tour numbers agree. His current run has sold out dates in New York and Los Angeles, and the Argentine homecoming closers are set for November 28 at Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires and December 3 in Córdoba.

Ten songs, no guests, one voice. Entre Cielos is out now — Londra trusting that his name alone is enough. The crowds suggest he’s right.

The all-solo tracklist is a brave choice on the record. In an era when Latin albums are stacked with collaborations to game the charts, Londra bet the entire cycle on his own voice, his own melodies and a production team willing to follow him from urbano into bachata and cumbia. A 10,000-person surprise crowd in Mexico City suggests the bet is already paying off.

Víctor Manuelle Brings the Parranda Home on ‘La parranda es nuestra’

Published

Víctor Manuelle is starting Christmas early — and inviting everybody. The Puerto Rican salsa star released La parranda es nuestra on Friday, October 23, through Sony Music Latin: 12 songs, his fourth Christmas album, expanding last year’s six-track EP La parranda es mía into a full-length celebration.

The guest list reads like a tropical hall of fame. Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tito Nieves, José Alberto “El Canario,” Elvis Crespo, Joseph Fonseca and Alfonso Vélez all appear, turning the album into a cross-generational parranda — the door-to-door Christmas party tradition at the heart of Puerto Rican holiday culture.

The night before release, Manuelle premiered “La gozadera en Navidad” with Elvis Crespo live on stage at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami. It was a fitting stage: that same week, his 2025 holiday EP stood as a Billboard Latin Music Awards finalist for Tropical Album of the Year.

The album also refreshes his own holiday staples in new 2026 versions, including “Quiero parranda,” “Ya se ven las bombillitas” and “Los polvos del Sahara.” His favorite, he says, is “Yo me voy para mi tierra,” the story of an emigrant who never makes it home — and the album is dedicated to the Puerto Rican diaspora celebrating far from the island.

La parranda es nuestra is out now: salsa, aguinaldos and an open door, wherever Puerto Ricans gather.

That the album expands a six-song EP into a 12-song event says something about the demand: last year’s La parranda es mía was strong enough to earn a Billboard Latin Music Awards finalist slot for Tropical Album of the Year, and this year’s edition answers with more songs, more legends and a full season to run.
