Latin music is ending the craziest three weeks of the year, closing out the period of new album releases that could be submitted to the 2024 Latin Grammys. Perhaps hoping to fulfill the biblical saying that the last will be first, Carin León, Mau y Ricky, Olga Tañon, Omar Montes, all-female mariachi Flor de Toloache, Gusi, Pancho Barraza, Draco and others rushed to release their albums this week. Those coming out after today will have to wait until the 2025 awards.
Just because they came in last doesn't mean they aren't excellent, of course. Carin León delivered "Boca Chueca Vol. 1." It is her first studio album after her highly successful "Colmillo de leche" and is the first work by a Mexican music artist to come so close to country. In fact, there are his collaborations with Kane Brown and Leon Bridges. He also has tracks with Pepe Aguilar, Bolel and Pantheon Rococo.
