Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been a favorite in Indian cinema for over 30 years. Among his many hits, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is one of the most loved movies of his career. It is also his biggest hit, but did you know this film was first rejected by Pushpa star Allu Arjun? Released in 2015, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a heartwarming story of Pawan, a kind devotee of Lord Hanuman. He finds Munni, a young girl who cannot speak and is lost in India. When Pawan discovers she is from Pakistan, he decides to take her back to her family, facing many challenges along the way. Before Salman took the role, the movie was offered to South Indian superstar Allu Arjun, who also rejected it due to his busy schedule. Aamir Khan was also offered this project and he wanted to make changes to the script. The director, Kabir Khan, disagreed, so Aamir turned it down. Salman eventually got the role, and the rest is history. The movie was made on a budget of Rs. 90 crore but earned Rs. 320 crore in India and Rs. 922 crore worldwide. It became one of the highest-grossing Indian movies and a turning point in Salman’s career. His emotional performance won the hearts of fans and critics alike. Salman is now preparing for his next big release, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. Set to release on Eid 2025, the movie is already creating buzz.

If you still have holiday shopping to do, Saturday's the day to start. A federal tax "holiday" will kick in this weekend, lasting for two months. It waives the tax on some categories of essential goods, a measure the federal government says is meant to help Canadians battle the high cost of living. The GST/HST holiday begins Saturday As GST break approaches, small businesses prepare for a tax holiday headache Thought it's a federal measure, in Ontario the entire 13 per cent harmonized sales tax will disappear off categories of items including children's clothing, prepared foods, restaurant meals, toys and book and even real Christmas trees, even though the federal portion of the tax is just five per cent. "We'll start marketing first thing tomorrow morning that it's available," Richard Peddie, owner of River Bookshop in Amherstburg, told CBC's Windsor Morning . "So yes, I would hope [we see more business]. I mean 13 per cent is pretty significant." LISTEN: We're just one day away from a litany of goods becoming tax-free Windsor Morning 8:48 We're just one day away from a litany of goods becoming tax-free Nicole Sekela is one of the owners of Rock Bottom Bar and Grill in West Windsor, and Richard Peddie owns River Bookshop in Amherstburg. They speak with CBC Windsor Morning guest host Josiah Sinanan. Nicole Sekela is one of the owners of Rock Bottom Bar and Grill. She says that she's heard customers talking about the tax break, but hasn't seen anyone delay dining out in anticipation. "We've got lots of parties booked already, so I'm hoping more people come out. I hope they take advantage of it," she said. The tax holiday was announced last month. Shoppers don't need to do or claim the exemption; rather, it will not be charged at the point of sale. The break will be in place until Feb.15, 2025. Initially, Sekela says she worried about the tech side of it — having to make changes to each individual menu item to turn off the tax. But instead her software allowed her to do it by menu category — sandwiches, beers, etcetera — so it was easier than anticipated. CBC Kids News The Trudeau government's GST/HST holiday, explained for kids But, she said, there are items like cocktails that are not tax-exempt, so she's had to educate her staff in preparation for customer questions. Both Peddie and Sekela agreed the move was largely political — but Sekela says she's still planning to capitalize on it. "Historically for restaurants, you know, January and February is our slow time. So I guess we'll just take advantage." At River Bookshop, Peddie says staff were combing through titles one by one until nearly the end of the week to make sure the tax was turned off. It's been a bit of added complexity at an already-busy time of year. "I think ... the whole idea was done by a bunch of people who really didn't understand retail," he said. "The bookshop we have 40,000 titles... available and we had to go through everything. "So it was a challenge. It's still going to be worthwhile. We've got high unemployment in this area, the highest in in Canada, inflation still really high. There's going to be a lot of people that take advantage of this. "So, on balance we'll take it for sure." Here's a list of items getting a tax break: Food and groceries Prepared foods such as sandwiches, salads, platters and pre-made meals. Snacks including chips, candy, baked goods, fruit-based snacks and granola bars. Energy bars, but only if they are considered to be food by Health Canada are not enhanced by protein, caffeine, vitamins and/or minerals and meets other qualifications.

In search of the gift of life: Arlington man turns to social media in search of a kidney donor

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Bill Belichick spent time after his NFL exit talking with college coaches wanting his thoughts on managing new wrinkles at their level that looked a lot like the pros. The two-minute timeout. The transfer portal as de facto free agency. Collectives generating name, image and likeness (NIL) money for athletes becoming like a payroll. The impending arrival of revenue sharing. It didn't take long for Belichick to envision how a college program should look based on his own NFL experience. "I do think there are a lot of parallels," Belichick said. And that's at least partly why the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach is now taking over at North Carolina. Years of rapid change at the have only increased the professionalization of college football across the country, with schools adjusting staffing to handle growing duties once seemingly more fitting for a pro team. People are also reading... UNC just happens to be making the most audacious of those bets, bringing in a 72-year-old who has never coached in college and asking him to build what amounts to a mini-NFL front office. But plenty could follow. "I really think there's going to be some of those guys that maybe don't have a job in the NFL anymore," Kansas State general manager Clint Brown said, "and now that this is going to be structured in a way where there is a cap that that's going to be something they're interested in." A changing college course The rapid changes in college athletics have fueled that, notably with players able to transfer and play right away without sitting out a year and be paid through NIL endorsement opportunities in the past five years. Recruiting is now just as much about bringing in veteran talent through the portal as signing recruits out of high school, mirroring the NFL with free agency and the draft, respectively. And a bigger change looms with revenue sharing, the result of a $2.78 billion legal settlement to antitrust lawsuits. Specifically, that model will allow the biggest schools to establish a pool of about $21.5 million for athletes in the first year, with a final hearing in that case set for April 2025. It will be up to schools to determine how to distribute that money and in which sports, though football's role as the revenue driver in college sports likely means a prominent cut everywhere as a direct parallel to a professional team's salary cap. Throw all that together, and it's why coaches are adjusting their staffs like Florida's Billy Napier interviewing candidates to be the Gators' general manager. "We're built to do it now," Napier said. "The big thing here is that we're getting ready to be in a business model. We have a cap. We have contracts. We have negotiation. We have strategy about how we distribute those funds, and it's a major math puzzle. "We're going to build out a front office here in the next couple of months, and it's primarily to help us manage that huge math problem," Napier added. "There'll be a ton of strategy around that. I'm looking forward to it." Still, that also explains why Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule, the former head coach of the NFL's Carolina Panthers, said: "This job as a head coach is a juggernaut. There's way more to do here than I had to do in the NFL." The value of a hire And it explains why the Tar Heels are betting on Belichick to be the right fit for today's changing climate. "If I was 16 of 17 years old, a coach who came at you and won how many Super Bowls? And he said, 'Come play for me,'" said New York Giants offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu, now in his third year out of UNC. "I mean, that's pretty hard to turn down now, especially in this day and age, he's telling you to come play for him and he's offering you some money, too. I mean, you can't go wrong with that choice." The timing worked for UNC with Belichick, who was bypassed for some NFL openings after leaving the New England Patriots last year and instead spent months taking a closer look at the college game. Those conversations with coaches — some in the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten and Southeastern conferences, he said Thursday — made him understand how the changes in college aligned with his pro experience. "College kind of came to me this year," Belichick said. "I didn't necessarily go and seek it out." And his mere presence in Chapel Hill makes a difference, with athletic director Bubba Cunningham saying his "visibility" would likely allow the team to raise prices for advertising such as sponsorships and signage. Belichick is also hiring Michael Lombardi, a former NFL general manager and executive, as the Tar Heels' general manager. Cunningham also said the plan is for Belichick to continue his appearances on former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning's "Manningcast" broadcasts during Monday Night Football as well as ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" — all giving the coach the chance to promote himself and the program. Investing in football Yet these steps to reshape football at North Carolina comes with a rising price. Belichick will make $10 million per year in base and supplemental pay, with the first three years of the five-year deal guaranteed, according to a term sheet released by UNC on Thursday. That's roughly double of former coach Mack Brown, whose contract outlined about $4.2 million in base and supplemental salary before bonuses and other add-ons. Additionally, Belichick's deal includes $10 million for a salary pool for assistant coaches and $5.3 million for support staff. That's up from roughly $8.1 million for assistants and $4.8 million for support staff for the 2022 season, according to football financial data for UNC obtained by The Associated Press. And those figures from 2022 under Brown were already up significantly from Larry Fedora's tenure with the 2017 season ($4 million for assistant coaches, $2.3 million for support staff). There is at least one area where the Tar Heels are set for Belichick's arrival: facilities. UNC spent more than $40 million on its football practice complex with an indoor facility (2018) as the biggest project, while other projects include $3 million in upgrades to the locker room and weight room (2019), $14.5 million on renovations to the Kenan Football Center (2022), even $225,000 on Brown's former office (2021). Now it's up to Belichick to rethink the approach to football here for the changing times. "We're taking a risk," Cunningham said. "We're investing more in football with the hope and ambition that the return is going to significantly outweigh the investment."

Former Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah has already found a new program in Duke, while Mississippi State's Michael Van Buren Jr., Wisconsin's Braedyn Locke and Cal's Fernando Mendoza are exploring changes of their own in the transfer portal. Mensah, a redshirt freshman with three years of eligibility remaining, told ESPN on Wednesday he has transferred to Duke. He attended the Blue Devils men's basketball game against Incarnate Word on Tuesday night. The Blue Devils (9-3) will face Mississippi in the Gator Bowl, but without 2024 starting quarterback Maalik Murphy and backup Grayson Loftis, who also entered the portal. Mensah, viewed as one of the top players in the portal, threw for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns and completed 65.9% of his passes. He led the Green Wave to a 9-4 record and the American Athletic Conference championship game, where they lost 35-14 to Army. Tulane will play Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl on Sunday. Van Buren, Mendoza and Locke announced on social media they had entered the portal. Van Buren started eight games as a true freshmen for the Bulldogs. He threw for 1,886 yards on 55% passing with 16 total touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Bulldogs (2-10, 0-8 Southeastern Conference). He took over as the starter when Blake Shapen suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in a 45-28 loss to Florida on Sept. 21. Shapen has said he plans to return next season. Van Buren, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound passer from St. Frances Academy in Maryland, had two 300-yard performances for the Bulldogs, including 306 yards and three touchdown passes in a 41-31 road loss against Georgia. Mendoza threw for 3,004 yards in 2024 with 16 TDs, six interceptions and a 68.7 completion percentage. "For the sake of my football future this is the decision I have reached," he posted. Locke passed for 1,936 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for Wisconsin this season. He said he will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school. ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan cornerback Will Johnson has joined defensive tackle Mason Graham in the NFL draft. Johnson declared for the draft on Wednesday, one day after Graham decided he would also skip his senior season with the Wolverines. Both preseason All-America players are expected to be first-round picks. Johnson was limited to six games this year due to an injury. He had two interceptions, returning them both for touchdowns to set a school record with three scores off interceptions. Johnson picked off nine passes in three seasons. Graham played in all 12 games this season, finishing with 3 1/2 sacks and seven tackles for losses. He had 18 tackles for losses, including nine sacks, in his three-year career. Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson is The Associated Press offensive player of the year in the Southeastern Conference and South Carolina defensive lineman Kyle Kennard is the top defensive player. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was voted the top newcomer on Wednesday while the Gamecocks' Shane Beamer is coach of the year in voting by the panel of 17 media members who cover the league. Sampson led the SEC and set school records by rushing for 1,485 yards and 22 touchdowns. He is tied for third nationally in rushing touchdowns, recording the league's fifth-most in a season. Sampson was chosen on all but two ballots. Mississippi wide receiver Tre Harris and his quarterback, Jaxson Dart, each got a vote. Kennard led the SEC with 11-1/2 sacks and 15-1/2 tackles for loss. He also had 10 quarterback hurries and forced three fumbles. Beamer led the Gamecocks to just their fifth nine-win season, including a school-record four wins over Top 25 opponents. They've won their last six games and ended the regular season with a win over eventual ACC champion Clemson. South Carolina plays Illinois on Dec. 31 in the Citrus Bowl. Pavia helped lead Vandy to its first bowl game since 2018 after transferring from New Mexico State. He passed for 2,133 yards and 17 touchdowns with four interceptions. He ran for another 716 yards and six touchdowns, directing an upset of Alabama. AMES, Iowa — Matt Campbell, who led Iowa State to its first 10-win season and became the program's all-time leader in coaching victories, has agreed to an eight-year contract that would keep him with the Cyclones through 2032. University president Wendy Wintersteen and athletic director Jamie Pollard made the announcement Wednesday, four days after the Cyclones lost to Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game. “Given all the uncertainty currently facing college athletics, it was critical that we moved quickly to solidify the future of our football program,” Pollard said. “Matt is the perfect fit for Iowa State University and I am thrilled he wants to continue to lead our program. Leadership continuity is essential to any organization’s long-term success." The Cyclones won their first seven games for their best start since 1938 and are 10-3 heading into their game against Miami in the Pop Tarts Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 28. BRIEFLY FLAG PLANT: Ohio Republican state Rep. Josh Williams said Wednesday on social media he's introducing a bill to make flag planting in sports a felony in the state. His proposal comes after the Nov. 30 fight at the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry football game when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 13-10 and then attempted to plant their flag at midfield. MALZAHN: Gus Malzahn, who resigned as UCF’s coach last month to become Mike Norvell’s offensive coordinator at Florida State, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by a myriad of responsibilities.

DMD is a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. SGT-003 is the leading program in Solid Biosciences' pipeline, with plans to advance additional projects toward clinical trials in 2025. The therapy uses the AAV-SLB101 capsid and a specialized cargo (nNOS binding domain) to potentially boost dystrophin expression compared to earlier-generation treatments. While first-generation gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) opens new treatment possibilities, there is still room for improvement. The analyst writes that Solid Biosciences' innovative approach and novel capsid technology could enhance microdystrophin delivery. Although the company's pipeline offers multiple opportunities, current projections focus only on SGT-003 for DMD. The most significant near-term milestone for Solid Biosciences is the initial Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial results, expected in the first quarter of 2025. Approving Sarepta Therapeutics Inc's SRPT Elevidys was a key milestone in treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but it's only the beginning. Newer treatments with better and more reliable results are still needed. Wedbush analyst writes, "We see Solid Biosciences in a "solid" position to deliver a next-gen therapeutic option." Wedbush writes that Solid Biosciences' stock trade at around $5 each, with about $4 per share in cash providing some downside protection. Assuming Solid Biosciences' SGT-003 program follows a timeline similar to Sarepta's Elevidys, even a one-year delay would lower the price target to $11 per share (current price target of $16)—still above the current trading price. With other programs yet to be included in the valuation, the analyst sees strong potential and initiates with an Outperform rating . Solid Biosciences ended the third quarter of 2024 with approximately $171.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, with an anticipated cash runway into 2026. Price Action: SLDB stock is up 3.21% at $4.83 at the last check on Friday. Read Next: Gilead Unveils New Yearly HIV Injection To Offer Hope for Less Frequent Preventive Dosing © 2024 Benzinga.com.

Syrians celebrate in central Damascus during first Friday prayers since Assad's fallDrones, planes or UFOs? Americans abuzz over mysterious New Jersey sightingsIn 2023, the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory report on the impact of social media on the mental health of young adults. This report acknowledged potential benefits from social media, but focused on the potential harm that social media can have on children and adolescences. The report highlighted the dangers related to frequency of use and content exposure, and in 2024, Dr. Murthy wrote an essay in the New York Times arguing for warning labels on social media platforms . The advisory report indicated that more information is needed to discover the exact pathways in which social media can harm mental health and well-being. One of these potential pathways is the impact of social media on relationships, especially regarding interpersonal boundaries, conflict resolution, and general attachment styles. Understanding the impact of social media on these specific domains will promote awareness that the potential dangers of social media are more than just frequency of use or what content the user is exposed to. Social media can influence how people generally relate to others, and this is especially important for youth and emerging adults. The Impact Of Social Media On Interpersonal Boundaries In 2020, Frontiers in Psychology published a study showing a connection between high self-disclosure on social media/social networking sites and a tendency to neglect long-term risks. The study is based on a theory that risky behaviors stem from impulsive and short-term thinking, whereas reflective and long-term thinking often yields better decision making. Many social media sites utilize real-time posts, which focuses on immediate and short-term thinking. Thus, according to the theory, it’s expected that many individuals will make poor decisions while on social media sites. The 2020 study focused on the decisions to make risky self-disclosures online, but other examples include making explicit comments, sharing inappropriate pictures, or revealing overly sensitive information. In 2017, Education Week published a story listing ten social media controversies regarding student use of social media. By focusing on immediate and short-term thinking, the use of social media often clouds the importance of interpersonal boundaries. Most social media sites emphasis individual profiles, which can potentially result in some users becoming myopic and disconnected with the broad implications of their posts. The Impact Of Social Media On Conflict Resolution Skills A hallmark of social media is the ability to have anonymity. Even without total anonymity, most social media users can limit how much identifying information is released to the public. In addition, many social media users are never held accountability of their actions while online. The combination of anonymity with a general lack of accountability can result in many social media users acting aggressively toward others. This aggressiveness can take the form of cyberbullying, and in 2024, the American Association of Colleges and Universities reported that 22 percent of college students reported being a victim of online bullying. However, this aggressiveness likely occurs more often in the form of a reduced motivation to engage in effective conflict resolution with social media contacts. It’s easier to criticize or block a social media contract than it is to foster empathy and active listening. Furthermore, some social media content might promote misinformation, and as stated above, could promote immediate and social term thinking. Both of these factors might hinder the willingness to engage in effective conflict resolution while online. The Impact Of Social Media On Attachment Styles As described in a seminal 1991 study in the Journal of Personality of Social Psychology , Bartholomew and Horowitz developed a model of interpersonal attachment based on a combination of positive and negative views of self and others. Secure attachment reflects positive and general views of self and others. However, these cognitive beliefs can change, and if/when they do, a person’s attachment style might also be altered. The Surgeon General’s advisory report discussed the potential harm that social media can have on self-esteem and self-comparison. It’s possible that this harm could result in some social media users becoming generally anxious, fearful, or dismissive about most relationships. As the Surgeon General noted, there are potential benefits in the use of social media. Protective factors to consider while utilizing social media include engaging in long-term/reflective thinking while making certain posts, interacting with social media contacts as if they were in-person contacts, and engaging with social media content that promotes positive views about self and others.First-ever athlete and fan-owned network boasts 2,200 Fan Owners and 70+ superstar athlete investors and partners by the likes of Chris Paul , Travis Kelce , Dwayne Wade , Chiney Ogwumike, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard , Natasha Cloud , Alysha Clark , Carmelo Anthony , and many more LOS ANGELES , Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayersTV , the first athlete and fan-owned media company, today announced the acquisition of Cloud Media Center , an AI-driven sports adtech and media distribution company.

New Tech, New Gains! Nvidia Stock Set to Skyrocket?While taking part in a geography student awards ceremony in 2016, Vladimir Putin corrected a schoolboy who said Russia’s border with the U.S. ended at the Bering Strait. “Russia’s borders have no end,” Putin said, before clarifying. “This is a joke.” It was the same kind of mirthless, menacing crack that permeates Donald Trump’s repeated reference to Canada as the 51st state of America . No one would laugh at Putin now and we shouldn’t be shrugging aside Trump’s comment either. Does anyone doubt he would absorb Canada if he could? But the most surprising thing wasn’t Trump talking about assimilating America’s closest ally. What was truly shocking was the reaction in Canada: a supine indifference to the idea of an end to 157 years of proud independence. A Leger poll this week asking Canadians whether Canada should be the 51st state suggested 13 per cent of the population would answer in the affirmative, rising to 19 percent in Alberta. That is a sad indictment of the state of the nation. Canada has long been obsessed with its identity, or lack of; plagued by a sense of inferiority to the U.S. and dogged by separation anxiety over Quebec. But that angst has reached crisis levels over the last nine years. In an interview with the New York Times just after he was elected prime minister, Justin Trudeau said that countries with a strong national identity found it challenging to integrate people from different backgrounds. Trudeau argued that Canada has become a new kind of state, defined by the multiplicity of its identities, a pan-cultural heritage encapsulated in the boast that “diversity is our strength”. “There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau said. “There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for one another, to search for equality and justice. Those qualities have made us the first post-national state.” What that sense of post-nationalism has done in reality is corrode the idea of citizenship that held Canada together, with its sense of obligation, its willingness to sacrifice and its collective mission. We had the dismal sight last week of Liberal MP Chandra Arya accusing his fellow Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal of threatening him because he refused to grant unanimous approval in the chamber for a motion calling the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India a genocide. In the wake of violent clashes in Brampton and Mississauga between Hindus and Sikhs , our elected representatives should be calming passions, not inciting them over events that took place half a world away, 40 years ago. The country is in a sorry state. Opinion polls suggest a majority agree with the statement that it is “broken” and that it is heading in the wrong direction. Pride in being a Canadian has fallen, particularly among millennials and westerners. Alberta and Saskatchewan regularly bash Ottawa and push back against federal legislation and regulations. In Quebec, a plurality supports the Parti Québécois, which has promised another referendum. A Liberal government that has pursued policies designed to offer Canadians “stark choices” on gun control, vaccine mandates and energy policy is in danger of being reduced to fewer than 50 seats , according to the latest seat projections. Every Canadian prime minister is faced with three dilemmas: the economy, unity and the U.S. None of those three central concerns are in great shape. Canada needs a nation-builder and it is encouraging that Pierre Poilievre has taken to quoting his predecessor as Conservative leader, John Diefenbaker, on his founding principles of freedom of speech and action. As a forthcoming biography by Bob Plamondon (Freedom Fighter: John Diefenbaker’s Battle for Canadian Liberties and Independence) makes clear, Dief opposed identity politics. He adopted a mantra of One Canada, which meant the end of hyphenated citizens. Diefenbaker didn’t look at Canadian unity through the lens of ethnic background or the intersection of English and French, but rather emphasized the equality and social welfare of all citizens, regardless of language, race or religious beliefs. “He was out of step with his party and the elites but was rarely disconnected from the Canadian people,” Plamondon writes, saying he was more of a nation-builder than the leader of a political party or head of cabinet. We could do with more talk about One Canada. Meantime, there is no benefit in Trudeau expressing his outrage at Trump’s late-night taunts. Better to deflect with humour, as immigration minister Marc Miller did, when he suggested it sounds like we’re living in an episode of South Park . For those whose memories don’t stretch back a quarter century to the 1999 animated movie, the mothers of the show’s protagonists “Blame Canada” for the degeneration of their progeny. “They’re not even a real country anyway,” sings one character. The majority of Canadians would take issue with that, but nations fade away when their sense of citizenship dies. If it turns out that Trump wants the country more than we do, we might as well give it to him.

See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Tokischa & Nathy Peluso, “De Maravisha” (Tokischa LLC/Warner Music Latina) Tokischa and Nathy Peluso join forces for this irreverent statement of female empowerment in which they show off their slick rapping skills. Written by both artists and produced by Skrillex, “De Maravisha” – a variation of “de maravilla” according to the Argentine pronunciation, and which in English means “wonderfully” – includes bars like “Cream mochi, I’m Hannah Montana/ I do whatever I want” and “A queen, if you ask me, I am adored and I am prayed to,” before turning halfway into a full reggaetón jam. “I have been a fan of Nathy for many years and it is a dream to release this song with her, and of course very grateful to Skrillex who produced it with us, uniting our essence as rappers and the perreo that we love,” Tokischa said in a statement sent to Billboard . “Accompanying Toki on this song has been a very fun adventure from the beginning,” Peluso added. “We started writing the song in Barcelona after connecting, and we chose to make it in two parts, to give it two sides.” The song’s fun music video, directed by Olivia de Camps under the creative direction of Tokischa herself, was filmed in New York City. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Vanessa Zamora & Ximena Sariñana “TRANSFORMANDO” (Vanessa Zamora) Mexican singer-songwriters Vanessa Zamora and Ximena Sariñana team up for the beautiful single “TRANSFORMANDO.” The song — conceived on Sariñana’s home piano, as Zamora revealed on social media — begins with a soulful R&B atmosphere, where the vocal textures of both artists intertwine with an ethereal performance. However, the song’s true charm lies in its unconventional structure: halfway through, it takes an unexpected turn that breaks down the initial melody, evoking the fluidity of a three-movement classical work and making it more interesting as it progresses. Lyrically, “TRANSFORMANDO” delicately addresses the idea of ​​surrendering to the inevitable processes of change that life dictates. — LUISA CALLE Calle 24, ONDEADO$ (Street Mob Records) Originally known as a songwriter behind Fuerza Regida’s biggest hits (“Sabor Fresa,” “Crazyz”), Calle 24 (Diego Millán) has been stepping more into the spotlight, like with his ambitious third studio album, ONDEADO$. This 24-track set skillfully expands the borders of traditional corridos with a robust array of moods and collaborators (Adriel Favela, Chuyin). From the big-banda, brass-driven flair of “Mi Vida Loka” to the introspective sierreño “Últimamente” about a new crush, which brings back the trio — Chino Pacas, Fuerza, Calle — behind the Hot 100 hit “Qué Onda,” the album intrigues with unexpected variety. There are surprising tracks like “Come Back” a bilingual smooth hip-hop jam featuring Imagine. The Mexican singer-songwriter delivers a lush, attitude-filled showcase through celebration, struggle, and a generous dose of debauchery. It’s a compelling listen for anyone vested in the genre’s future. — ISABELA RAYGOZA GORDO feat. Emilia , “Olvidarte” (Ultra Records) Just months after releasing his debut album Diamante, renowned producer GORDO is back with an EP that features collaborators like Eladio Carrión, Bad Gyal and Emilia. This six-track set is enthralling offering a handful of EDM tracks that showcase his stronghold on a genre he helped define during the U.S. dance music boom of the early 2010s. While all songs are fascinating, it’s Emilia’s “Olvidarte” that stands out from No Hay Verano Sin Gordo . Powered by a haunting, head-bobbing beat that intensifies throughout the song while Emilia’s velvety vocals take flight as she sings about drinking to forget. — GRISELDA FLORES Listen to more editors’ Latin recommendations in the playlist below:
