As we prepare to celebrate the start of summer, Treviño has five new songs perfect for a road trip or a day at the beach to start your summer playlist.

“I think the perfect summer song means something that brings you joy. It makes you want to dance. It makes you feel good, ”Treviño said.

Below are Treviño’s choices for summer jams.

“Tu Si Sabes Quererme” by Natalia LaFourcade ftg Ruben Blades and Mare Advertencia Lirika

“Castigo ”by Los Rivera Destino ftg Pedro Capo

Sandra says: “This is a group of three friends who met at school and they did some comedy skits on Youtube and decided to work on their music. I think you will like it. “

“Chico Chango” through ESSO ftg Lester Rey and Juan’s Army

Sandra says, “These are local Chicago favorites, and they just released their new album called Xicago. He mixes a lot of Latin music, tropical music with funk with hip-hop, pop and rock. And the video was shot in a Chicago park.

“Feeling Good” by Natanael Cano, Ovi, Snoop Dogg, Snow Tha Product, CNG

Sandra says: “It’s a kind of music that has been done since the 80s but is currently generating a lot of buzz. It’s Norteño and corridos mixed with traps, something new and fresh.

“El Antidoto” Kay Remix Mexican Institute of Sound ftg LA PERLA

Sandra says, “It’s by DJ and producer Camilo Lara. He likes to mix vintage sounds, Latin American sounds with modern music. I want to present the remix version of Kay because it’s hotter and it’s just boom! in your face.”
