Spanish-language music received two releases this Friday that combine unprecedented collaborations with tributes to classics from the romantic repertoire. Ha*Ash and Cristian Castro presented their first single together, while Majo Aguilar unveiled her own version of a song immortalized by Luis Miguel.
Both releases arrive as part of what are known as new music Fridays, a day on which record labels and artists tend to concentrate their releases to capture the attention of streaming platforms worldwide.
Ha*Ash and Cristian Castro join forces on Antes Que Te Cases
The duo made up of Hanna and Ashley Grace teamed up with singer Cristian Castro to release Antes Que Te Cases, a ballad that combines the group's pop sensibility with the romantic style characteristic of the Mexican performer.
The song tells the story of two people who recognize that the love between them is still alive, but that circumstances no longer allow them to stay together. Far from suggesting an attempt at reconciliation or stopping a wedding, the track focuses on accepting that certain relationships come to an end even when the feelings remain intact.
A collaboration across generations of pop and romantic ballads
The union between Ha*Ash and Cristian Castro represents a meeting between two musical acts with well-established careers in the Spanish-language romantic genre. The single joins a recent trend of collaborations between established artists seeking to refresh their sound through unexpected duets.
Majo Aguilar pays tribute to Luis Miguel with Por Debajo de la Mesa
Meanwhile, singer Majo Aguilar released her rendition of Por Debajo de la Mesa, one of the most beloved songs in Luis Miguel's repertoire. The track was originally written by composer Armando Manzanero and has remained an emblematic piece of Mexican romantic music.
In this new version, Majo Aguilar brings her own interpretive sensibility to lyrics that describe the intensity of a strong and silent attraction, marked by the tension of a shared moment and the vulnerability of falling deeply in love with another person.
A preview of the album Caprichos
The single is part of Caprichos, Majo Aguilar's upcoming album, conceived as a personal collection of iconic songs the artist has long admired. According to her, the project aims to pay tribute to songs that have managed to connect with different generations of listeners.
Por Debajo de la Mesa, along with its official music video, is now available on all streaming platforms.
Two different approaches for the same music Friday
While Ha*Ash and Cristian Castro bet on an original collaboration centered on heartbreak and acceptance, Majo Aguilar chooses the path of tribute, reinterpreting a classic that has endured for decades in the collective memory of romantic ballad lovers.
Both releases reinforce the enduring relevance of the Spanish-language romantic genre, both through new compositions and through versions that seek to keep alive the legacy of composers like Armando Manzanero.
