\n\tNathy Peluso<\/a> may not have salsa music in her blood, but she shines with the force of a hurricane on her new traditional salsa EP, Malportada<\/em>. The Argentine-Spanish artist \u2014 best known for her Latin urban, alternative music songs with hints of neo soul and R&B \u2014 discovered the tropical genre during her teenage years while buying vinyl records in Madrid. Since then, she says she\u2019s been \u201chooked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I started going to vinyl markets, I began buying and researching,\u201d Peluso tells Billboard Espa\u00f1ol<\/em>, noting that the first album to make a strong impression on her was Rey Barretto\u2019s Indestructible<\/em> (1973). \u201cFrom there, I discovered Fania [Records] and all of its stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased on Oct. 17 under Sony Music Espa\u00f1a, Malportada<\/em> was primarily produced by Peluso, Manuel Lara, and Servando Primera, and has that old-school salsa music sound with contemporary elements. Through six songs, ranging from \u201cA Caballo\u201d and \u201cInsensata\u201d to \u201c\u00c1ngel\u201d and \u201cMalportada\u201d with Rawayana, the singer challenges the male-dominated narrative that has historically characterized the genre, showcasing her vocal skills. With her powerful voice and hypnotic interpretative quality, Peluso seems tailor-made for this.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI feel like I am \u2014 it\u2019s a genre that I really enjoy singing. It\u2019s demanding, and I like feeling challenged by what I sing,\u201d says the five-time Latin Grammy winner, noting that she\u2019s also a fan of bolero and ballads. \u201cI think I\u2019ve spent my entire life preparing to sing this album. It wasn\u2019t something I had to suddenly prepare for \u2014 it\u2019s something I\u2019ve been training and studying for my whole life, so when the time came to do it, it felt natural, not forced.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPeluso, who also recently collaborated with Gloria Estefan on the remix of the tropical track \u201cChirriqui Chirri,\u201d<\/a> released in September, has been exposed to a variety of rhythms over the years \u2014 both Latin and non-Latin. Born in Luj\u00e1n, Argentina, she has said she grew up listening to artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Jo\u00e3o Gilberto, and Atahualpa Yupanqui. She emigrated to Spain with her family at the age of 9, first settling in Alicante, a place she says \u201cwas full of immigrants at that time,\u201d before moving to Barcelona. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was surrounded by so many Latin cultures: Peruvians, Colombians, Dominicans, Ecuadorians, and of course, Argentinians. So I think that\u2019s where Latin music became very natural for me, because when you visit a friend\u2019s house, that music was always playing,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for salsa, she says she\u2019s \u201ca big fan of traditional salsa, especially Puerto Rican salsa. I also love Colombian salsa. I just love salsa in general.\u201d For Malportada<\/em>, she wanted to explore the different styles of the genre she enjoys consuming, \u201cwhich is like a more \u2014 how do I put it? \u2014 a more aggressive, more rap-like salsa, like Juanito Alima\u00f1a. That more barrio-style salsa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThen there\u2019s the more romantic salsa, the more melodic Frankie [Ruiz]-style, which doesn\u2019t tell the story of a character as much but rather conveys feelings,\u201d she continues. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s perhaps the kind of salsa that\u2019s more about lifting people up, more social, like [the track on the EP] \u2018Que Lluevan Flores.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNominated again for two Latin Grammys this year \u2014 best urban performance\/urban fusion for \u201cDe Maravisha\u201d with Tokischa, and best urban song for \u201cXq Eres As\u00ed\u201d with \u00c1lvaro D\u00edaz \u2014 Peluso might appear next year for the first time in tropical music categories with Malportada<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI hope so,\u201d she says about the idea. \u201cEspecially because that always means the music is reaching people. I always interpret it that way, as my peers valuing it, the music world recognizing it. I\u2019d love it, honestly, because [this EP] was made with so much respect and also with the intention of helping and contributing my little grain of sand so that salsa reaches as far as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPeluso is among the artists confirmed to perform at the 26th edition of the Latin Grammys, which will air live on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. ET\/PT from Las Vegas via TelevisaUnivision platforms.
