Argentine-Spanish singer Nathy Peluso is known for her fearless, genre-bending style: She won both Best Alternative Song and Best Rap/Hip Hop song at the 2024 Latin Grammys. On her most recent EP, 2025’s Malportada, she makes another unexpected turn, embracing traditional salsa so powerfully Billboard exclaims she “shines with the force of a hurricane.” “I think I’ve spent my entire life preparing to sing this album,” Peluso says, and that means when she steps on the stage, she’ll bring the charisma, soul, and inventiveness that made her earlier hits irresistible to this timeless music. She’s a fitting pairing with Colombia’s Grupo Niche, one of the best-known salsa orchestras in history thanks to enduring hits like “Canoa Rancha,” “Una Aventura,” and “Cali Pachanguero.” Billboard listed the latter at no. 9 on their 50 Best Latin Songs of All Time, saying the band “redefined the sound of salsa, lending it a distinctly Colombian imprint.” With a Grammy, two Latin Grammys, and a four-decades-long history, they’ve become one of Latin America’s most iconic musical exports.
