April, the month of spring for some people and autumn for others, but it is still the most changing month of all months according to a survey that Harvard University in Boston did a few years ago.

I have just arrived from Mexico, where I had the pleasure of accompanying Elsten Torres on his tour media and promotion in Mexico, we also launched WAHU Streaming with a great event in Cuernavaca, in which our Elsten was the special attraction. A double pride for me since WAHU has been a work that has been developed since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, and It was finally achieved. Meeting all those who are part of MFM+ in Mexico was a pleasant pleasure and thanks to their efforts, the company grows day by day. In April we also entered into a strategic partnership with the company MTS in Argentina, our director of MFM+ in Argentina Quique Chovanian is responsible for said action, At first they will be accompanying the growth of Escorpia, but in the coming months we will be seeing a lot of work on everything that is the MFM+ catalog in Argentina and in my beloved Uruguay. Another piece of news that gives us great pleasure is receiving Mary Paxanga, Malaspina, and Witchy Saiko as part of Rock and Fashion and Discos Hermeticos, both from Spain and our strategic partners in Europe. This month we begin to pull the strings so that the three artists make themselves known in the entire region of Latin America and US Latin. MFM+ does not stop, this month we will have a media tour by Elsten Torres in Miami, and Buenos Aires, we will also be introducing a strategic partner in Brazil, our urban artist Ryzz Reyes will be in his native Torreón Coahuila to sing to his people and present the new anthem of the Algodoneros Union Laguna Baseball club on April 21 in the first game of the new baseball season in Mexico.

Mary Paxanga: Perreo and love in PAPI MÁTAME

Spring arrived on March 21, the same date in which Mary Paxanga presented her new single titled Papi Mátame, which sums up very well the things that inspire this singer of origin from Palma to make music: perreo, love and the values.

And it is that according to the creator, whose name birth of her is Natalia Linuesa Urbano, which she stands out from the rest of her is her ability to be pure, real, special and different..

“With a high vibration I connect with the people. I am already what I would like to be, but I would love to live from my music, go far and connect with lots of people. make happy to others through my melodies”. Mary

Paxanga

That dream is not new; as she remembers her, from when she was little she knew that music was her destiny, but she didn't dare follow him until she started to work on her traumas. Have a goal she helped heal and grow, just as she now she does her career. EHer ﬁrst clear triumph was "Mamarratxi", a song that she released in 2019, and in less than 48 hours, she got more than 5,300 views on YouTube. “it was a hit in Mallorca and I got a lot of concerts”, recalled Mary. To keep up her good streak, the singer had to start composing music, because she only she had two songs. She currently continues to explore her talent, as she shows it in "Papi Mátame", a theme that she according to Paxanga has a fresh and well-done sound with her essence and her producer's (DXBeats) essence. "It's a Spanish reggaeton with the real Latin American sound,” she concluded. The single is accompanied by a video clip, a kind of home video, very much in the aesthetics of Tik Tok, in which the pretty singer appears ﬁrst dancing in the living room, then in the bathroom and the rest of her her apartment, as well as having intimate moments with her partner, posing in front of the mirror, forging a cigar, and perreando in general.

Although Mary Paxanga's career promises to deliver many surprises, one thing is certain: the chorus of "Papi Mátame”, has the potential to become an anthem in the clubs, as well as to go super viral in the digital world.

US-based musician shares his latest single , a song that explores various styles from a Latin rock personality but that develops within the Cuban son or pop. This single stands out for the emotional way in that a tribute is made to the island since it not only extols the beauty of its culture but also moves to those lands from the music and voice of Elsten. Bendita Cuba tells the story of the musician's mother when she left Cuba to seek a better life in the USA.

It is a tribute to my dear mother and to Cuba. Although I only lived through the ﬁrst 18 months of my life on the island, its culture and its essence is a big part of who I am. forever grateful to Mima for her courage and for dreaming of a better life for us.

Discover the city on a sound journey

Loﬁ City por Tonder

Loﬁ City is a narrative of the travels made by its author and a tribute to all those visited cities that have left their mark on his journey as an artist, but above all everything as a human being. This record begins with México (1974), to later make a transatlantic trip that takes us to the city of Roma (1988) where we can rediscover eternity through meditation and the sound of water.

The next stops are Buenos Aires (2008) and Nueva York (2010), two cities that share as many similarities as diﬀerences, duality accurately embodied by Mauricio Aziz. Paris (2012) and Barcelona (2018) are two songs that are wrapped in an existentialist and late-night atmosphere, where the motive stands out melodically created by the synthesizer.

Before finishing the trip, London is found with a more British harmony, experimental, seductive and playful, full of street noises. And finally we arrived at Lofi City the capital of sound, where everything begins again through ethereal melodies, with an experimental base marked by the electric bass.

The north has always been an important reference for music made in Mexico, proof of this is Ryzz Reyes, singer of urban music born in Coahuila and who releases his single Salió, made purely to dance, stop thinking and surrender to the joke of a Saturday night, forgetting our love problems and enjoying the party together with our friends.

“Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today

He did not know how to value you, mommy did not care

Hang up your calls, feel the terror

Tell him that you are with me, I have plenty of ﬂow”

The theme continues the rhythm and feeling after having shown their singles Frikitona and Estoy bien. However, Salió makes a big difference by showing a more produced sound, with clear influences from dancehall and dembow. Ryzz Reyes has become one of the most significant artists for the urban underground.

Salió

is now available on digital platforms.

Originally from Torreón, Coahuila, singer Sergio García came into contact with music at the age of 14, ﬁrst as a hobby and later adopted the name Ryzz Reyes. In July 2017, he released his debut album Bilateral, with the collaboration with beat markers such as Fernan Digue, Vibes and 1995, under the production of Alejandro Hoﬀman. In 2020 he presents his second album called Amanecer produced by the Stereo Music label, in which he is currently.

He recently had a collaboration with Bberry in Mujer Mala along with Rip Rain, Beker Bang, Aarón Magal and Tore.

He has stepped on important stages inside and outside of La Laguna, alongside exponents such as Adán Cruz, Alemán, faros feet, a capella, Neztor Mvl, Aczino, among others. In 2022 his music was heard in 40 countries.

From Spain and Argentina; We are joined by Witchy Saiko, Malaspina and Mary Paxanga. All from very di ﬀ erent background and musical genres. Diversity is what will stand out in our 2023.

Malaspina

Malaspina, an Argentine Punk Rock band with inﬂuences and Hard Rock scents. It is an emerging band that addresses it’s music to an audience much cooler and younger than Punk is used to, as we know the genre was born in the 70’s with bands like Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash, but it has evolved until being combined with Pop, obtaining unique sounds like MALASPINA’s.

Witchy Saiko

Witchy Saiko, from Alicante, Spain, a very urban artist arrives, having moved at age 14 to the Unted States, Witchy managed to combine very urban and street styles like Trap, HardTrap and Trapbow, “Bow” coming from the term “Bend or do reverence” combines an urban style and to a certain point Reggaetonero, since it comes from Jamaica… We are very intrigued by what this artist has to bring to the music scene

Mary Paxanga, spanish artist from Palma de Mallorca deﬁnes her music and sound within the Neo Punk Latino genre, with scents of Dark Reggaeton, and wow she was successful, because her proposal is a very new which is not usually listened a lot in Latin America, that’s where we know the genre of Reggaeton is heard the most. Wow what a beauty, a fresh musical proposal!
