Let’s keep it a buck : Kiño ain’t just making music, he’s cooking up sazonado trap anthems with a side of Colombian soul. His latest EP, Melancolías Guardadas en Historias, Avioncitos y Siluetas, slaps harder than a cumbia drum in a cipher—a five-track flex that stitches Colombian Medellin trap magic to 808s so filthy, your speakers might need a shower (and rewiring!).

Picture this : one minute you’re knee-deep in dembow thunder, the next a gaita flute swoops in like your abuela’s ghost hyping up the block party. Kino’s the mad scientist behind this fusion, blending guacharaca scratches with trap snares like he’s got a PhD in Sonic Alchemy. Pezzcatore’s butter-smooth hooks? Tommy Navia’s reggaeton grit? All fire emojis—no cap. These are not just collabs; it’s a whole parche turning the booth into a time machine where cumbia legends fist-bump rap kings.


Can we talk about Náufrago? That closing track’s a head-nodding manifesto—bullerengue handclaps morphing into bass that’ll rearrange your DNA. Kiño resounds in this song in my head about being a castaway in your own sea, flipping identity and life crises into a chant you’ll whisper in your dreams. It’s trap with a PhD in life philosophy. The video is an aesthetic delight and I have been immensely impressed with the visuals Kiño chose to match his powerful lyrics and masterful production.

If I could slide into Kiño’s DMs (shoutout @kinoparchao—peep his studio snippets, they’re wild), I’d ask for an interview about his sound. Like, please, Kiño, let me pick your brain about this insane EP release. This man’s a walking cultural archive with trap beats in his veins—interviewing him would be like ALMOST getting some cheat codes to Latin hip-hop’s future.


Bottom line : MGHAS isn’t just an EP. It’s a neon-lit, cumbia-drenched time capsule proving Colombia’s rhythms can’t be boxed—only made immortal and untamable. Kiño’s out here rewriting the rules, and honestly? We’re all just blessed to witness the glow-up. ¡Qué chimba, hermano!

A natural-born writer and poet, Atanaria’s pen dances with a rhythm that only she knows. Her passion for the unspoken, the mysterious, and the forgotten led her to create The Nerdy Virginias—a publication that would later evolve into Asteria, a testament to her love for the hidden corners of culture. Here, she explores the fringes of society, where subcultures thrive away from the blinding lights of the mainstream.
