(May 16, 2025) - Today, Latin Grammy-nominated artist Cazzu shares the music video for “Mala Suerte.” Directed by Cazzu, the visual weaves a narrative of romantic misfortune. In the video, she embodies a woman betrayed by love, yet unwavering in her strength and self-empowerment. “Mala Suerte” is the latest video from Cazzu’s recently released fifth studio album Latinaje.
Entirely written by Cazzu and produced by Nico Cotton, Latinaje is a deeply introspective exploration of love in all its forms - fiery, fractured, eternal, and ephemeral. Through powerful storytelling, Cazzu places herself at the heart of narratives that reveal her strength, vulnerability, and the nuanced realities of love and identity as a Latin American woman. The album is a rich tapestry of sound, blending copla, tango, cumbia, bachata, corrido and Argentine folklore into a genre-defying journey. With every sonic and visual choice rooted in a celebration of Latin identity, Latinaje transforms personal chaos into art, offering a bold, contemporary tribute to the cultural diversity of the continent.
Cazzu previously shared the video for “Odiame,” which references Argentine film actress and tango dancer Tita Merello and the show business of that era. Latinaje also features previously released singles “La Cueva” in which the video unfolds in a country house consumed by flames - a striking metaphor for the collapse of a relationship. In the corrido “Dolce,” the protagonist enacts revenge on a treacherous lover. Meanwhile, cumbia single “Con Otra” pays reference to Karina “La Princesita” and tells the story of a young woman navigating love and identity in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Across stories and experiences, Cazzu places women firmly at the heart of Latinaje, portraying their strength, vulnerability, and deep connection to culture. Rather than relying on stereotypes, the women in this album emerge as complex, multidimensional characters, each with a distinct voice and a powerful story. Through their journeys, Latinaje becomes a bold statement on the importance of visibility and empowerment for women in a cultural landscape still heavily shaped by machismo and patriarchal tradition.
For the cover art, Cazzu enlisted acclaimed photographer Sebastián Faena to capture a beautiful portrait: the artist standing amidst the Carnival of Jujuy, a powerful expression of Argentina’s cultural soul. Steeped in ancestral Andean rituals and Spanish tradition, the festival becomes more than a backdrop - it’s a symbol of resistance, identity, and artistic lineage. Through this photo, the album extends its voice beyond sound, becoming a celebration of heritage etched in color, movement, and memory.
Cazzu is a fearless and versatile artist from Argentina who has become one of the most influential voices in Latin urban music. She rose to fame in 2019 with her breakthrough album Error 93, featuring standout tracks like “Visto a las 00” and “Mucha Data.” The project solidified her presence in Latin trap and led to major collaborations with artists such as Bad Bunny and Khea. She followed up with the Bonus Trap EP and genre-crossing hits like “Ladrón” with Lali and “Animal” with María Becerra, proving her ability to evolve while staying true to her roots.
In 2021, Cazzu unveiled a darker, more conceptual side with Nena Trampa and joined forces with BZRP and Justin Quiles. That year also brought award nominations and a triumphant return to touring across Latin America. In 2022, she made history as one of the first Argentine artists to perform at Coachella and also lit up stages at Lollapalooza and Viña del Mar. With global chart success and collaborations with Rauw Alejandro, Young Miko and Feid, Cazzu continues to break barriers and redefine the landscape of Latin urban music.
