Rauw Alejandro: Cosa Nuestra
Briefly

Rauw Alejandro's Cosa Nuestra seeks to bridge the gap between traditional salsa and contemporary reggaeton, using big themes of love and parties to attract listeners.
The album, named after a classic from '69, pays tribute to salsa through a grand audiovisual approach, bringing instrumental and melodic depth back to the genre.
Despite moments of mature artistry, Cosa Nuestra often inconsistently shifts between ambivalence and playful throwaways, leading listeners to question the true potential of the collaborations.
Tracks like "Mil Mujeres" and "Déjame Entrar" showcase Alejandro's range, yet the inclusion of more formulaic pop elements suggests a reluctance to fully innovate.
