Latin Mafia: The Rollercoaster They Call Their Debut Album

Intro

I created this magazine to serve as a space for people who feel their emotions deeply. As our slogan says, our magazine is “Made to Be Felt.” This week, I wanted to highlight a group that embodies this exact idea. 

Latin Mafia is a group of brothers who create music intended to resonate deeply with their listeners. In this piece, we will focus on Latin Mafia’s debut album, Todos Los Días Todo El Día, a project that reflects what it means to feel everything all the time.

The Album

This project is emotionally charged both lyrically and sonically. It is an album for those who listen with intention and seek meaning in the details. When I listened to this project for the first time, it felt like I had just ridden an emotional roller coaster. It is filled with the highest highs acoustically and the lowest lows lyrically. 

Latin Mafia did an excellent job at creating a work of art that can be felt with your mind, body, and soul. Though the lyricism can sometimes feel too vague, there is still a sense of vulnerability. It is clear that the songs were crafted with the intention that listeners could interpret them through their own memories, experiences, and sentiments.

Through this album, Latin Mafia explores themes related to mental health while also making space for softer feelings like love and joy—hence, the feeling of an emotional rollercoaster. 

Songs That Stood Out

A few songs really stand out on this album. Songs that are worthy of several listens. If you don’t make it through the album for whatever reason, make sure to give the following songs a try!

Siento que merezco mas

The beginning of the rollercoaster. The song captures the chaotic emotions of a turbulent relationship. It conveys a sense of angst as they realize they deserve more. 

Y como te digo que

A beautiful song, sonically. With simple lyrics that clearly convey the intense love they feel for someone whose presence alone is healing.

Me estoy cayendo

A love song from the point of view of someone who is a hopeless romantic. Someone who gives their all when they feel they have found their soulmate. 

In The End

Latin Mafia is a group that is creating music with feeling. They are filling a void in a society that feels superficial and afraid of connection. Their music deserves all the recognition it has received. Although their debut album is emotionally heavy, do not be scared to jump on this ride.
