In the past few weeks, Argentine-Spanish artist Nathy Peluso has made waves in the Latin music scene with the release of her new salsa EP, Malportada. Peluso, who is best known for her Latin urban and alternative music, has revealed a surprising passion for the tropical genre.

Since then, Peluso says she has been "hooked" on salsa, and her new EP showcases her deep appreciation for the genre.

With her powerful voice and hypnotic interpretative quality, she seems perfectly suited for this musical style.
