Banda MS is feeling lucky…

The Mexican band, whose full name is Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga, has released their new 18-track album El Trabajo Es La Suerte.

It’s the band’s first album since Con Todas Las Fuerzas, which was released two years ago.

Staying true to their ranchera-tinged ballads and their showstopper bandasound, Banda MS recruited songwriters like Eden Muñoz, Espinoza Paz, Omar Tarazon, Joss Favela and Jhonny Zazueta to pen songs for the well-rounded album.

During aninterview with Billboard in May, Banda MS’ lead singers Alan Ramírez and Oswaldo Silvas shared details about the album.

“We had 10 songs for the album and we thought, ok, these are enough,” Ramírez said. “But then we started getting other songs and had like 20 in total and so we had to start selecting which ones we really wanted on there, the best ones and the ones we like the most.”

It’s one last drink for Leonel Garcia

The 45-year-old Mexican singer-songwriter has joined voices with Cyrille Aimée for a new version of the classic “‘En El Último Trago.”

Paying homage to his roots and folklore music, Garcia turned the timeless ranchera by José Alfredo Jiménez into an entrancing lullaby-like acoustic.

Aimée, who’s a French-Dominican, U.S.-based jazz artist, adds her soothing soulful vocals.

“En El Último Trago,” marks the first single off Garcia’s forthcoming album Amor Pasado, which completes his trilogy that began in 2014 with Amor Futuro and Amor Presente released in 2018.

On the album, Garcia gears away from his distinguishable pop-ballad sounds and taps into Mexican folk as a tribute to the composers of the classic Mexican songbook.

According to an official release, this is Garcia’s “wonderful way of rediscovering Mexico’s legendary songwriters.”

Additionally, Garcia premiere the first episode, where he discusses Jiménez’s life story, success, and most-beloved hits, this week.

Building up to Amor Pasado’s release, Garcia will premiere a new single and episode at 8:45 p.m. ET every Thursday.
