Yesterday, we were blessed with a new video accompanying Cuco's dreamscape song "Hydrocodone." Likewise, C. Tangana and Alizzz dropped a video for "Para Repartir," a free form visual that settles nicely over the Cuban groove.

Juan Wauters' latest single dates back to his native Uruguayan roots, No Te Va Gustar's re-imagines 2010 work and an old Cuban trova ballad from Miami folk duo Dracula.
