The Mexican singer moves away from corridos bélicos, returning to his musical roots alongside guests such as Netón Vega, Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida & Anuel AA.
Mexican music star Luis R. Conriquez has returned to his roots with Muchacho Alegre, his 12th studio album, leaving behind the corridos bélicos that made him famous in favor of the tumbado sounds.
In this new 16-track production, released Friday (July 10) under K Music, the Sonoran artist pays homage to the young dreamer who, through determination, climbed to the top and became one of the most followed figures of his generation. For this, he invited colleagues like Netón Vega, Peso Pluma, Óscar Maydon, Joel de la P, Tito Double P, Grupo Frontera, Fuerza Regida and Puerto Rican urban star Anuel AA, who adapted very well to the regional genre.
The LP — filled with the sounds of guitars, trumpets and charchetas — opens with the title track, where Conriquez narrates his journey to success. Among other standout tracks are “Qué Gacho” with Netón Vega, “Rosita” with Gabito Ballesteros, “Bandida” with Peso Pluma, a tribute to successful women titled “Salma Hayek,” alongside Grupo Frontera, and solo songs like “Al Chile Pega,” which tackles heartbreak with special nostalgia.
