A nostalgic journey through their roots. This is how Jesús, Julio and Bibi describe “Baja California”, the new single of the renewed pop stage of Reik.

It is easy to miss a place like Mexicali, Baja California, says the group. “We try to go as much as we can. But I think the thing you miss the most is our people, our family, our friends”, claimed Bibi. “This song is, above all, about that”.

The official video was directed by the North American cinematographer Ry Shorosky, who captures the perfect atmosphere of a red evening talking a walk around the beaches of Baja California. An audiovisual star within the universe the trio has created with their clips.

Written by Julio Ramírez, Pambo, Matthew Rey and Ismael Cano Jr, “Baja California” releases the light in less than a month from the group’s previous single: “Abril”. The song placed itself on the #5 in the pop chart of the radio in Mexico, has more than 3.3 million streams in platforms worldwide; its music video has more than 1 million views on YouTube. 

“As persons, as song writers and as a group, we need and want to sound like our pop again”, said JesúsNavarro for La Crónica. 

Recently the group announced their Panorama tour. With this tour Reik will go through 25 cities of the United States starting next May.

A conversation about death, beside a cooler with ice and a lot of vulnerability, served as the midwife during the birth of one of the most profound songs in contemporary Mexican music. This refers to “Cuando Llegue El Día” (When the Day Comes), the track by Joss Favela and Gera MX released today.

“We were concerned about what happens when you leave this earthly plane and wanted to address it together,” Joss Favela recalled while discussing “Cuando Llegue El Día” (When the Day Comes). “I think we managed to express it in a positive way because at the end of the day, it’s beautiful to have progressed, to have met many people, to have a family and friends who love you and who will remember you in a positive way.”

The song celebrates the artist’s life and reminds them for their legacy, music, art, and the person they were. “The message is very positive, and it’s a message of love for all the people who follow us, for our family, for our friends that we will all die one day, everyone who is here,” he added.

The song was recorded in studios in Jalisco and Sinaloa, “CuandoLlegue El Día” combines Gera MX’s rap with Joss Favela’s immense talent in regional Mexican music. It also features traditional instruments of the genre, such as accordion, bajo quinto, tololoche, and more, creating a magical encounter of two worlds that are closer than many thought.

The video, directed by Abelardo Báez and produced by Pavel Nordahl, takes the concept of the “day of death” a bit further, o something deeper, because regardless of who we are in life, our roots, tastes and attachments, we are all going towards the same place. Visually, this was reflected through two different world’s: the classic car that represents the urban world and the horse that represents the regional world, and adding the romanticism of Mexican culture with death and the constant relationship between the living and the loved ones who have already departed.

“Cuando Llegue El Día” is now availabe on all digital platforms, Thi is the second track from his upcoming EP named Mis Compas Vol 1, which has stellar collaborations from great exponents of the music scene in México. The EP is expected to be release in May 2024 alongside Sony Music Latin.

Shakira first hinted at the tour during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month. On Friday, the global superstar surprised fans at Coachella when she appeared during Bizarrap’s set to perform their global smash hit “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and “La Fuerte,” both featured on her new album. Before exiting the stage, Shakira teased the tour news to a roaring crowd. 

Coachella marks the second time in the last month that Shakira has surprised fans with a showstopping performance. Last month, following the album release, Shakira shut down New York City’s Times Square giving a crowd of 40,000+ fans a peek into the energy of her live shows when she performed at the TSX Stage. The performance included her iconic hits like “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Te Felicito/TQG,” and “Session 53,” as well as “Puntería” and “Cómo Dónde y Cuándo” from her new album. 

The tour is in support of her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which in 24 hours of its release became the most streamed album of the year with over 10 billion, and was certified 7x platinum. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Latin Album and Latin Pop Album Charts, while “Puntería” with Cardi B holds the #1 spot on both the Billboard Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts. Listen to the album HERE! 

This is Shakira’s first tour since 2018, when she wowed fans at sold out stadiums and arenas around the planet with the El Dorado World Tour, cementing her reputation as “an international pop goddess” (Rolling Stone).
