Led by the Queen of Reggaetón herself Ivy Queen, whose song on the set is called “Cría y Calle,” La Liga Femenina (the female league) navigates from hard-hitting perreo to sultry Afrobeats to thumping electronic music. Ivy is joined by 18 urban powerhouses from different parts of the world, including Spain’s Mala Rodríguez, Mexico’s Bellakath, Puerto Rico/Cuba’s Mariah Anegeliq, Dominican Republic’s J Noa, Chile’s Loyaltty and Colombia’s Soley, among others.

“Having to bring together a group of women, even though it might seem easy from the outside, is very difficult from the inside,” Ivy previously said to Billboard. “I’ve tried to do something like this before, and it didn’t turn out the way I expected, but finally we’re in a different situation and full of empathy.”

On the curated list, you’ll also find recently released albums that are packed with affirmations and empowerment, such as Chiquis’ Flores en Mi Alma and Elena Rose’s Bendito Verano, as well as reflective and unapologetic sets such as Cazzu’s Latinaje and Sofia Reyes’ IDGAF Era, to name a few.

Observed in March, Women’s History Month recognizes the contributions and achievements of women in history. Below, check out 10 powerful Latin albums — all released in the past 12 months — that celebrate women in all their glory.
