  First Stream Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs, albums and videos recommended by the Billboard Latin editors. Check out this week’s picks below.
  Vicente Fernández, “El Caballo de Mi Padre” (Sony Music México)
  Regional Mexican music titan Vicente Fernández releases the second single, a heartwarming track titled “El Caballo de Mi Padre,” from his forthcoming album. Penned by Bulmaro Bermúdez, the classic ranchera is a testament to Fernández’s ageless and powerful vocals that have serenaded multigenerational fans for decades. In “El Caballo de Mi Padre,” which translates to “my father’s horse,” Fernández narrates the tale of a horse’s connection to his longtime owner who passes away and leaves him behind. This song follows the king of ranchera’s “Ya No Insistas Corazón,” which placed him back on Billboard‘s Latin Airplay chart after eight years. Both tracks will be included in Fernández’s new album, A Mis 80s, or “in my 80s,” in honor of his recent 80th birthday. The album is being co-produced by Fernández and longtime collaborator Francisco Javier Ramírez.

  Vicente Fernández Returns to Latin Airplay Chart With 'Ya No Insistas Corazón'
  10/22/2020
  Nio Garcia & Casper Magico, “Travesuras” (Flow La Movie / Glad Empire)
  Nio and Casper have revamped a true reggaeton classic, bringing to life the 2020 version of “Travesuras.” Paying homage to Hector El Father’s “Noche de Travesura,” first released in 2005, the two Puerto Rican artists teamed up to give the fast-tempo reggaeton with bachata and merengue melodies a twist. For Nio Garcia, the collaboration is a tribute to those emblematic songs that have opened doors for future generations of urban artists. “Even if 15 years have passed, it’s a song that we still sing and enjoy today,” Casper said in a statement. Filmed by Abez Media in Puerto Rico, the music video opens up with memorabilia of the former reggaeton star Hector El Father, before transitioning into a vibrant block party.
  Carmen DeLeon & Feid, “Juegas” (Universal Music Latino)
  Carmen DeLeon garnered initial attention singing covers, but her original material is disarming. Pairing up with Colombian artist Feid, the Venezuelan singer-songwriter’s “Juegas” is a medium-tempo reggae/pop charmer accompanied by a video with tons of attitude that doesn’t need to fall into oversexualized imagery to be effective. If this is going to be DeLeon’s brand of pop, we’ll happily take it.
  C. Tangana feat. Niño de Elche & La Hungara, “Tú Me Dejaste De Querer” (Sony Music Entertainment)
  Hailing from Spain’s underground rap scene, C. Tangana is not shying away from experimental fusions this year, flaunting, most importantly, his edgy and vulnerable versatility. On the heels of “Demasiada Mujeres,” an ode to all the women who have crossed his path and left their mark on him, El Madrileño presents “Tu Me Dejaste de Querer” in collaboration with renowned Spanish singer La Hungara and up-and-comer Niño de Elche. Once again, C. Tangana pours his heart out in an honest and melancholic song about heartbreak. “You stopped loving me when I least expected it/ When I loved you the most/ You had no desire,” says part of the song, co-produced by Alizzz and C. Tangana. With Hungara and de Elche on the track, C. Tangana beautifully laces bachata rhythms, old-school reggaeton beats and traditional flamenco, bringing to life what he dubs “rumbachata.” Produced, directed and filmed by Little Spain, director Santos Bacana portrays the heartbreaking story of a love that couldn’t be.
  Banda Los Sebastianes, “Te Prometo” (Universal Music México)
  A romantic ballad at its core, “Te Prometo” is a sweet promise of a “happily ever after” delivered by regional Mexican ensemble Banda Los Sebastianes. Staying true to their traditional banda sound, the melodic tune is about an innocent couple that dreams of traveling the world and making memories that will last a lifetime. The track is a preview of Banda Los Sebastianes’ forthcoming album titled Ay Dolor.
  Paloma Mami, “For Ya” (Sony Music Entertainment)
  Paloma Mami likes to work in silence. For the most part, she uses her social media to share photos of her self-designed outfits and, at times, she surprises fans with new music she’s been working on. After dropping “Goteo” in April and teaming up with Major Lazer on “QueLoQue,” the Chilean-American singer presents “For Ya.” With her signature sugary vocals, Paloma Mami drops a sensual urban R&B-meets-dancehall track about a girl who’s betting it all on a guy but he’s not on the same page. “Desde que llegaste tú me iluminaste con tu luz/ No se si habla claro pero confiaré/ So I’ll play dumb for ya/ Beat around bushes like drums for ya/ All these red lights imma run for ya/ Can’t control love when it comes for ya,” she sings on the bilingual track. In the simplistic music video, directed by Nico Alarcos, the Latinx songstress is wearing all-white, flaunting her nail game and captivating vocals in a dark room. She’s then drawn in by a bright light, where she’s seen falling down. “When she’s creative, fly AND got that good aura….No red light stopping me,” the singer expressed on Instagram.
  Gerardo Ortiz, “El Perro” (Sony Music Latin)
  After releasing “Otra Botella,” a hybrid tune that fuses mariachi with reggaetón-pop, alongside Gente de Zona, Gerardo Ortiz goes back to his roots releasing a corrido titled “El Perro.” “With this corrido, I return to my roots where I write real stories, and this is a song that my audience can relate to,” Ortiz says. The lyrics of “El Perro” represent various Mexican proverbs that express authentic morals. This track will be part of Ortiz’s forthcoming album, Décimo Aniversario, that will celebrate his 10-year career.

  Ecko and Cazzu Team Up For Bonnie & Clyde-Inspired 'Cama Vacia' Video: Exclusive
  11/05/2020
  Ecko & Cazzu, “Cama Vacia” (Universal Music Latino)
  Ecko and Cazzu, two emblematic artists of the Argentine trap scene, have joined forces for “Cama Vacia,” an infectious and sultry trap song featuring Ecko’s fiery freestyling skills. With lyrics penned by Ecko, such as “What happened with all of that love that you had for me?/ Without you the nights are cold and my bed is empty,” “Cama Vacia” tells the story of a former couple who are going back-and-forth on what went wrong with their relationship. The black-and-white music video, directed by Renderpanic in Argentina, shows both artists paying homage to Bonnie and Clyde. With the support of Universal Latin Music Entertainment, Ecko plans to release his upcoming EP Young Golden on Nov. 27.
  Maffio, TumbaGobierno (Sony Music Entertainment)
  After years in the game, producing hits for artists such as Farruko, Fonseca, Chino & Nacho, and many more, Maffio presents his highly anticipated debut studio album TumbaGobierno, a true Latin explosion with more than 20 featured artists. Translated to “government-demolisher,” the Dominican singer-songwriter and producer explains that the production does not have any political meaning; in fact, in his native country, the play-on-words “refers to the explosive sound made by small, inexpensive fireworks, with the title using them as a metaphor for the potency of his new songs,” according to a statement. Home to 14 tracks, including the already-released bangers “Cristina,” “Mente A Na” and “Celebration,” in honor of his late sister Katherine Alexandra Mendoza, TumbaGobierno has a special significance to Maffio that includes sacrifice, cultural preservation and lots of love. “This is the best work that I have made in my life, musically speaking,” he noted.
  Maffio’s eclectic fusions of reggaeton, dancehall, Afrobeats, reggae, merengue, retro ’80s pop, and even an interlude featuring Venezuelan tambores really shine on this album, released via Sony Music Entertainment. TumbaGobierno includes collaborations with Justin Quiles, Nacho, Farruko, Ky-Mani Marley, Akon, Tito el Bambino, Dalex, and Jencarlos, to name a few. The Nicky Jam and Akon-assisted focus track, “Uchi Wala” is the perfect example of the positive vibes found on this album. “We have to face life with a good attitude. Music is about that as well,” Maffio expressed. Stream TumbaGobierno below.
