There are so many good Latin duos and collaborations that for this month’s post I wanted to highlight some of my favorites.
I start off with “La bicicleta” a collaboration between Colombia superstars Carlos Vives and Shakira. It won song of the year at last year’s Latin Grammys and is still a favorite of mine.
My favorite duo is brother and sister team Jesse & Joy. “Dueles” while a sad song gets you in your heart and Joy’s voice always draws me into their story.
Nicky Jam is another favorite artist of mine and he does a lot of powerful collaborations. “El perdón” is not as famous as some of his other collaborations (and I’ve already featured some of his other songs in previous posts) but I love the slow reggaetón and addition of the smooth voice of Spanish superstar Enrique Iglesias.
CNCO is definitely a guilty pleasure as I wouldn’t say this boy band formed from the American Idolesque “La banda” is particularly talented, but I want to sing and dance when I hear their songs.
I end with “Downtown” co-written by J. Balvin and Brazilian singer Anitta. J. Balvin led the nominations at the 19th Latin Grammys and this collaboration was nominated for best Urban song.
