Nathy Peluso Talks New Salsa EP ‘MALPORTADA,’ Esmeralda, BZRP, and Phil Collins

Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based creative powerhouse Nathy Peluso joins us in the studio to talk about it all: her beginnings studying theatre and writing poetry for cash, on the spot on a typewriter on the streets of Barca, and how she moved from rapping to singing to her latest salsa EP, MALPORTADA, a genre that’s been a guiding force for her since childhood. We discuss her thoughts on what salsa purists might think, male rappers getting riled up when she swooped in and snagged the Latin Grammy for ‘Aprender a Amar’ back in 2024 (she’s won four in total).

We also get into her love for Phil Collins and his connection to the album she scrapped before 2024’s Grasa (will it ever see the light of day?!), how she lost and found her pleasure center, the difference between salsa sung by men vs women, plus did she just get married in Vegas?!
