MIAMI, FL (January 16, 2025) – Corridos bélicos sensation Luis R Conriquez teams up with the globally acclaimed gamechanger Peso Pluma on a fresh música Mexicana track “Bandida” to kickstart the new year. With a bold, high-energy spirit, the song explores the themes of loyalty and rebellion that come with this fast-paced lifestyle. “Bandida” is now available on streaming platforms.
“Bandida” portrays a lifestyle of unapologetic luxury, street-savvy confidence and loyalty to a tight-knit group of friends and allies. The repeated references to power, wealth and a carefree attitude toward life reflect the narrative of a rebellious persona, while incorporating modern swagger and indulgence. The imagery of armored vehicles, Cuban cigars and exclusive celebrations elevates the song’s themes of excess and living on the edge. With Luis R Conriquez‘s commanding delivery and Peso Pluma‘s unmistakable voice, “Bandida” adds to the growing appeal of música Mexicana as a genre that continues to evolve and push boundaries in the Latin music scene.

Cementing his icon status as only the third Mexican artist to grace the cover of Billboard U.S. last year, “Bandida” emerges alongside this feat as a powerful testament to Luis’ and Peso’s ability to skillfully usher in a new era of música Mexicana. Luis R Conriquez is presently on Spotify’s Top 50 Mexico at No. 2 with his recent collaboration “Presidente” alongside Gabito Ballesteros, Natanael Cano and Neton Vega and No. 30 with “Si No Quieres No” with Neton Vega, which has been accumulating nearly two million daily streams in Mexico. The latter track also landed him his first Billboard Hot 100 chart spot, debuting at number 86 and secured a spot on Spotify’s Top 50 Global, debuting at number 49 as one of only two Mexican songs featured. Coming off of his Trakas Tour, which made its way across the U.S. and Mexico last year, Luis R Conriquez is set for an electrifying performance at the renowned Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California on February 15 and will follow up with shows across the U.S., including West Valley City, Utah on February 16, Grand Prairie, Texas on April 4 and a performance at the highly anticipated Besame Mucho Festival in Austin, Texas on April 5.
Meanwhile, Peso Pluma continues to break the mold and show the next generation of artists that a musician’s superpower is remaining true to themselves. His latest album ÉXODO, which was released in June of last year, quickly skyrocketed to chart-topping success. The highly anticipated GRAMMY-nominated follow-up to his GRAMMY-winning album GÉNESIS launched at No. 1 on both Spotify’s Global Top Albums and U.S. Top Albums charts, also reaching No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top Album charts in nine countries, including the U.S. and Mexico. With nearly 50 million monthly Spotify listeners and a passionate fanbase, his collaborations with artists like Karol G, Kali Uchis and Anitta have further propelled him to international acclaim. Peso Pluma is not only a musical powerhouse but a cultural icon, with multiple awards and the launch of his own label, Double P Records, in partnership with George Prajin, he solidifies his impact on the industry.
