Argentine singer, songwriter, rapper, and provocateur Nathy Peluso (@NathyPeluso) recently released a new música tropical single “EROTIKA,” inspired by the early 1990s salsa erotica scene in New York City.
Nathy Peluso – “EROTIKA” (Official Music Video)
With “EROTIKA,” Nathy delves deeper into the sensuality of salsa erótica, reaffirming its power and relevance in today’s music scene. At the same time, she presents a provocative and empowering narrative. Traditionally, salsa has depicted femininity from a romantic, melancholic, or dreamy perspective, but with her approach, Nathy aims to reclaim the strength and defiant attitude that has historically shaped the male-driven narrative—making it entirely her own.
The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Iris Valles and Alex Olten (Garra) and produced by Roma. In a minimalist, early 2000s-inspired aesthetic, Nathy exudes unstoppable energy in a visually striking production, intense and vibrant like the dominant red that colors each frame. She dances frenetically, alone and with others, in a declaration of power and sensuality that reinforces the essence of “EROTIKA.”
“EROTIKA” was co-written by Nathy with Manu Lara, Servando Primera, and Danicrazytown. The bass sets the stage for a vibrant track, while the percussion—timbales, congas, and bongos—creates a powerful rhythmic foundation. The fire of the brass section (trumpet and trombone) ignites every note, making the track an undeniable invitation to dance. To bring this explosive sound to life, Nathy has assembled an exceptional lineup of musicians: Grupo Niche, Daniel Márquez, Sergio Múnera, Anderson Quintero, Roinel Vega, and Johan Escalante.
“EROTIKA” dropped hours before Nathy kicked off her first US tour at The Fillmore in Miami, following her successful GRASA tour in the UK and Europe. She will bring the GRASA experience to North American audiences including New York, Chicago, DC, and Los Angeles. Later, she will continue her tour of Latin America’s biggest festivals, including Lollapalooza Argentina, Lollapalooza Chile, and Estéreo Picnic.

Since the beginning of her career, Nathy Peluso has seamlessly incorporated salsa into her sonic universe with authenticity and mastery. In “MAFIOSA,” she channeled the commanding trombones of Willie Colón; in “LA PRESA,” she co-wrote a tale of crime and passion with Servando Primera, echoing the narrative style of Rubén Blades, supported by musicians from El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. In “PURO VENENO,” she embraced an electrifying mambo with a distinctive ’80s essence, and in “Sugga,” she infused elements of salsa pop reminiscent of Miami Sound Machine. At 30 years old, Nathy has won 5-career Latin GRAMMYs, tied with Mercedes Sosa for the most awards for an Argentine female artist. She is also the first woman to ever win Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song.
Nathy is on tour in support of her acclaimed album “GRASA,” which won 3 Latin GRAMMY awards last fall. She won Best Alternative Song for “El Dia Que Perdi Mi Juventud (Feat. Blood Orange),” Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song for “Aprender A Amar,” and Best Long Form Video for the GRASA film.
Listen to Nathy Peluso’s “GRASA” album
“GRASA” reveals a more mature and emboldened Nathy who asserts her unique capabilities as a songwriter and performer, seamlessly navigating rap, ballads, and tropical genres. For the first time, the Argentine-born, Spain-based artist reveals a more intimate and personal side in her lyrics, unafraid to open up about the growing pains and creative crises that come with fame, success, and the pressures of modern stardom.
Nathy co-produced and co-wrote the 16 tracks in the album. Most tracks are the result of a close collaboration with Venezuelan musician and producer Manuel Lara (Kali Uchis, Bad Bunny) who also serves as executive producer with Nathy. “GRASA” draws visual and stylistic inspiration from a diverse array of references – the cinematic grandeur of mafia lore, 1970s NYC salsa, and current icons like Kendrick Lamar – but is grounded in a contemporary sound.
The album feels like the soundtrack of Nathy’s current moment as she pushes boundaries and defies expectations in her craft. It’s also the triumphant result of a deeply personal journey. In an industry often characterized by superficiality, Nathy’s authenticity shines through, reminding us that you can be an ambitious powerful woman while also showing vulnerability and being open about navigating life’s challenges.
