To The Young Generation Of Mexican Stars, Collaboration Is Key Unlike the Bizarrap session, here the trombone and syncopated string instruments blend deeply with Carrión’s low-key, confident flow. One of the new album’s strongest cuts is '77,' a seamless duet with Eladio Carrión, the influential American rapper of Puerto Rican origin. Even though the track emphasized the singer’s trademark style - relegating Bizarrap’s cinematic EDM aesthetic to the backdrop - the single demonstrated how comfortable Peso Pluma feels outside his genre of choice. He Has An Organic Connection With Urbano MusicĪ few weeks before the release of GÉNESIS, Peso Pluma shocked the Latin music establishment by becoming the first música mexicana artist to guest on a Music Session by Argentina’s producing wunderkind Bizarrap. From the rousing 'CARNAL' - a collaboration with Cano – to the wistful majesty of 'LAGUNAS' with Jasiel Nuñe, the songs on GÉNESIS overflow with the kind of soulful trombone riffs, sophisticated bass accents and complex requinto lines that have defined b anda and norteño for decades. Older fans of traditional artists like Los Tigres del Norte and Banda El Recodo have reacted with the same kind of angry condemnation that the punk revolution evoked in classic rock adepts during the late ‘70s.īut even though Peso Pluma belongs next to Natanael Cano and Eslabón Armado on the corridos tumbados forefront, his music is still faithful to the warmth and melodic immediacy of Mexican tradition.

Much has been written about the disruptive energy of corridos tumbados - the youthful, 2020’s movement that brought a breath of fresh air and plenty of irreverence to música mexicana by fusing it with a hip-hop sensibility and elements of trap and reggaetón. His Rebellious New Sound Is Mexican To The Core Here are five takeaways from an album that brings the novel genre of corridos tumbados a few steps closer to the mainstream. GÉNESIS drops June 22 on Pluma's brand new label, Double P Records.
