As the world observes Holy Week 2024, Billboard Español has prepared a special selection of 31 new Christian songs in Spanish for the season. The list is comprised of established and emerging artists, encompassing the diversity of Latin Christian music in sound and message.
The lyrics of these songs explore themes such as love, family and everyday life from the perspective of faith, thus providing an enriching experience for those who want to approach faith through music.
Among the highlights are a variety of popular genres, from worship songs such as “40CM” by the singer-songwriter CRYS together with Genock Gabriel, and the ballad “Vuelvo” by Marcela Gándara, produced by Julio Reyes Copello, which invites us to get closer to God in the most challenging moments. In addition, we included “Tu Presencia Me Llamó,” the Spanish version of the popular song “Me Atraiu” by the Brazilian Gabriela Rocha with the Guatemalan band Miel San Marcos. With this anthem, Rocha became the first woman in gospel music worldwide to reach 3.3 billion views on YouTube, according to Billboard Brazil.
Within the field of Christian urban music, songs such as “Flow Celeste” by Barajas and Alex Zurdo, “Te Siento” by Indiomar and “Locura” by Jay Kalyl stand out. While in Latin pop, there are gems such as Gilberto Daza’s pop vallenato “Seguir Vale la Pena,” and “Capulí”, which united the Ecuadorian Vaes with the Colombian band Alkilados.
In addition, the list includes “Confía” by Farruko and Dalex, “Who Who” by Nino Freestyle and Emanuel Lara, and “Chica de Altar” by the latter, all part of the compilation album Transition, from Puerto Rican Farruko’s Carbon Fiber label, which took a new faith-based direction this year and features diverse emerging artists both Christian and non-Christian. This project also supports Billboard‘s forecast that 2024 could see more secular artists break into Latin Christian music.
