Trueno unveiled a cool career move this week, sharing on his Instagram that he’s a featured artist on Gorillaz‘s upcoming studio album, The Mountain. Set to release March 2026, the Argentine artist is a collaborator on the track “The Manifesto,” also featuring the late Proof. Additionally, Trueno will be joining the group on key dates of its The Mountain Tour set to kicks off Spring 2026 across the U.K. and Ireland. “It is an honor to be able to carry this beautiful responsibility, from La Boca to where I never imagined,” he expressed.

Chiquis Continues Giving Back

“This has always been a part of who I am, I like to give back,” Chiquis said in a new reel posted this week. In the clip, the Mexican-American singer talks about the importance of having compassion and helping her community, while also visiting a local supermarket and paying for the groceries of many strangers. “This is for my people. Those who dream, those who fight and don’t give up,” she captioned the post. “For my hardworking people, those who smile even when life is sometimes hard.” Her sweet gesture also served as a teaser of her upcoming single “Pa’ Mi Gente,” out Sept. 18.
