    Nov 16 2022
    You wouldn’t be able to tell from his down-to-earth and soft-spoken demeanor, but Edgar Barrera is one of the most prolific Latin songwriters of our generation. The Mexican producer is the second most-nominated artist at the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs, just behind Bad Bunny. Barrera talks to La Semanal hosts Christian Acosta and Jessica Flores about his humble beginnings in the music industry, his first big break and how he rose up the ranks to become one of the most sought-after songwriters in the game, writing hits for Christina Aguilera, Maluma, Grupo Firme, Camilo, Manuel Turizo and now signing artists for his own label, BorderKid. Christian and Jessica also have the tea on what went down at a recent Christian Nodal concert, why Shakira is the ultimate World Cup queen and so much more on the latest Latin music news.

    This week on La Semanal, hosts Christian Acosta and Jessica Flores welcome paopao, who is part of the new wave of women in reggaeton, trap and rap coming out of Puerto Rico. The Latin GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter gets very raw and real about her start in the industry, losing her mom (who was her biggest supporter), and the gamble she took in releasing her edgy EP ‘Diamantes y Espinas’, which has since gotten the support from the likes of Bad Bunny and Mora, who appears in the remix of her track “Algo así.” Christian and Jessica also discuss the Cardi B-Madonna drama, the corrido from Banda MS for the new Call of Duty game, and Maluma’s latest collab with Adam Levine and the RudeBoyz.

    Oct 19 2022
    Pedro, Brian, Ulises, and Damian (AKA Eslabón Armado) showed La Semanal just how real and funny they can get from their rock and roll life on tour, how the group came to be, and the brotherhood between them. Earlier in 2022, the Mexican-American rising stars made history when their album ‘Nostalgia’ peaked at No.9 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. Eslabón Armado explains how they feel about revolutionizing Música Mexicana with their own style of Sierreño music, being asked to record with the late legend Juan Gabriel, and what big dreams they are chasing next. Hosts Christian Acosta and Jessica Flores also dish on Tokischa’s latest scandal, Romeo and Christian Nodal’s new collab, why Bad Bunny is the "GOAT”, and much more.
