This week, Billboard‘s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — feature fresh new releases from artists such as Goyo, WOS, Wisin and Gabito Ballesteros, and more.

The regional Mexican music takeover continues. This time, it’s reggaeton star Wisin who experiments with the gene in “Un Shot,” a collaboration with emerging música mexicana artist Gabito Ballesteros. It’s Wisin’s first-ever regional Mexican track, which comes as the genre globalizes thanks to a new generation of acts, which includes Ballesteros. The track is a corrido tumbado with hard-hitting urban beats that also meshes Ballestero’s dulcet vocals and Wisin’s raspier tone. “Un Shot” narrates the story of a man who’s drinking his sorrows away after a break up.

Meanwhile, Peruvian icon Gian Marco teams up with Catalina García (Monsieur Periné’s lead vocalist) in the captivating ballad “Tú.” The acoustic collaboration, a fourth preview of Gian Marco’s upcoming album Aún Me Sigo Encontrando, fuses the pair’s voices in a sublime performance, giving life to a beautiful Andean song accompanied by the distinctive sound of the charango, a typical instrument of this South American region.

Other new releases include Goyo’s edgy hip-hop song “Insomnio,” WOS and Gustavo Santaolalla’s cumbia masterpiece “Melancolía,” and LAGOS and Elena Rose’s pop release “Blanco y Negro.”

Last week, Farruko’s “Rasta Reggae (Jamming)” won the poll with over 50 percent of the votes. Gaby Moreno’s new album, Dusk, followed with 33 percent of the votes. Which your favorite new Latin music release of this week? Vote below!
