The first Nathy Peluso song I heard was “BUENOS AIRES,” from her 2020 debut album Calambre. If “Most Likely to Love A Sad but Fun Song” was an Award, I would win it by a landslide (I call these songs Wistful Bangers). Nathy impresses me with how strong she is across genres: my Liked Songs playlist on Spotify includes rap, jazz, and salsa songs by her, and my current favorites are:

1. EROTIKA
2. CORLEONE
3. MAFIOSA
4. PURO VENENO
5. TODO ROTO

Nathy Peluso’s Career to Date

Nathy was born in Argentina and grew up in Spain. At 16, she started performing at hotels and restaurants in Torrevieja, Spain. In 2017, Nathy self-released her first mixtape, Esmeralda. In 2018, she self-released her first EP, La Sandunguera.

She then signed a record deal with Sony Music Spain in 2019, and released Calambre in 2020. Between Calambre and her second album, Grasa, released in 2024, she’s won 5 Latin GRAMMYs and has collaborated with Bizarrap, Karol G, C. Tangana, Tokischa, and Mon Laferte.

Nathy’s known for having a big theatrical personality onstage (very apparent in her music videos). I will 100% be going to a show the next time she’s on tour so I can experience it in person.

Mi Diccionario Entry: Labia. Means rizz. Like when Nathy Peluso sings “mucho lujo, pero de segunda; mucha labia, pero se te inunda” in “APRENDER A AMAR.”

October 19, 2025 Update —

Nathy’s latest EP, Malportada, was just released on October 16. It’s six songs of all salsa and I give it a 8/10. I like the songs overall, and Nathy Peluso is reliably good at mixing old sounds with new. I identify with the lyrics in MALPORTADA, and I bet a lot of latinas identify with them as well. My favorite song is A CABALLO.
