Excitement is building in the Latin music world as 2026 gets underway. Artists are teasing new projects, collaborations are being rumored, and release dates are starting to fill up the calendar.

can't wait to dive into this juicy calender and see what kind of fire releases are coming our way 
i'm lowkey hyped for nicky jam's new album bohemio, that guy always brings the heat 
and juanes is back in the game? yay! also, timø's new album canto pa' no llorar better not be another month away 
gotta keep up with all these drops, anyone got a calendar app to keep track of this mess 
. Nicky Jam and Juanes think they're so special with their new albums, but let's be real, it's just more of the same old Latin music we've been hearing for years 
. And don't even get me started on the release dates, always something last minute that throws off everyone's plans 
. Mark my words, this whole Latin music scene is just a flash in the pan...
One thing I hope they all remember is that January 16 is album drop day 
. Remember when Elvis Crespo was just starting out and his album "La Nueva Ola" dropped in '95? Now he's putting out special editions of old tracks, that's crazy 
. But gotta say, the list is getting kinda long already... might need to get a Spotify premium account to keep up 
.
gotta keep an eye on timø too, heard he's working on some fire new tracks 
I'm personally intrigued by the prospect of Nicky Jam's new album, Bohemio - it'll be fascinating to see how his sound evolves under Virgin Music Latin. And Juanes' comeback in March is definitely a notable event. The posthumous release of Los Dúo's Track by Track will also be a great tribute to Juan Gabriel's legacy.
And with Los Dúo (Track by Track) from Juan Gabriel also on the horizon, it's shaping up to be an incredible year for Latin music
