Getting 'Triste' With Bryant Myers & Bad Bunny: Our Favorite Latin Songs This Week

This week, Bryant Myers and Bad Bunny dropped a sadboy jam, Dominican trio Mula made female Caribbean electro-pop, and Gilberto Rodriguez y Los Intocables premiere a new track for NPR Music.
The women of Dominican electronic trio Mula make synth music that synthesizes their acoustic Caribbean musical heritage.

This week, we heard a lot of great music from up-and-comers of every genre, from Puerto Rican trap-makers Bryant Myers' and Bad Bunny's sad boy jam "Triste" to the slow-and-sultry, Barry White-inspired stylings of Jesse Baez. Dominican electronic trio Mula meld Caribbean pop genres from varying points in time together on the infectious, dreamy "Sirena," and Making Movies and Las Cafeteras give you something to shout about and dance to on their newest collaboration.

We're also featuring our first exclusive playlist premiere this) release their first single "Totonita Encantadora" off their upcoming debut album, due out Aug 31. Hear it here first, gente.
