London might be far from Mexico, but when the sun goes down at The Pool Lounge, you’ll feel like you’re dancing in Monterrey, Guadalajara or Mexico City. Welcome to Elephant and Castle’s hottest Latin venue, where the beats are loud, the cocktails are cold, and the love for Mexican singers runs deep.
In this guide, we’re diving into 10 must-know Mexican music artists you’re likely to hear when you walk through our doors — whether you’re enjoying a chill round of pool or staying for a full-on Ranchenato fiesta next door at Bola 8.
From regional hits to chart-topping Latin pop, these are the sounds that define our nights.
🇲🇽 1. Grupo Frontera – Soundtrack of Tequila Sundays
One of the most streamed Mexican music artists today, Grupo Frontera brings that romantic norteño-urbano fusion that has taken over Latin parties worldwide. Their hits like “Un x100to” (featuring Bad Bunny) are crowd favourites, especially during Tequila Sundays — when the tequila shots are flowing and the lyrics hit differently.
🐍 2. Peso Pluma – Icon of Corrido Urbano Vibes
What started in the streets of Guadalajara is now global. Peso Pluma is one of the most streamed Mexican musicians, and we spin him during our Corrido Night, a themed event that blends old-school ballads with new-school swagger. His track “Ella Baila Sola”? Always gets the crowd moving.
💃 3. Bad Bunny – Yes, We Know He’s Puerto Rican. But Still.
We know, we know. But “Un Verano Sin Ti” is part of the soundtrack of our Latin nights — and because of his work with Famous Mexican singers, like Grupo Frontera and Natanael Cano, he’s earned his place here. You’ll hear him every Friday reggaeton night at Bola 8.
🎙️ 4. Natanael Cano – The Corrido Tumbado Revolution
Young, raw and full of edge, Natanael mixes trap with traditional Mexican music artists styles. He’s one of the go-to voices in our Friday night corrido vs reggaeton battles. Our DJs love using his tracks to bring up the energy before midnight.
👑 Ángela Aguilar – The Queen of the New Generation
Daughter of Pepe Aguilar and already a legend, Ángela brings classic ranchera with modern class. Her songs often play at the start of our Ranchenato nights, setting the tone with nostalgia, elegance, and Mexican soul.
🎺 6. Christian Nodal – Ballads That Break You (in a Good Way)
A voice like no other. Romantic, heartbreaking, and 100% sing-along worthy. If you visit us for Ballad Thursdays (an occasional pop-up event), expect Nodal to be on rotation. His music pairs perfectly with a whisky or mezcal on the rocks.
🎧 7. Carin León – From Rodeo to Urban
Carin is the definition of versatile. Whether it’s a cumbia remix or an acoustic heartbreak anthem, his voice brings the entire venue together. You’ll catch him on our banda + vallenato playlists — especially during late Friday nights.
🔥 8. Yahritza y Su Esencia – Young, Emotional and Viral
This sibling trio is taking over TikTok and our playlists. We usually feature them during chill sets on early Saturdays, before the night turns wild. They’re especially loved by our younger Latin crowd looking for fresh vibes.
🎶 9. Luis Miguel – The Timeless Legend
A section on famous Mexican singers wouldn’t be complete without El Sol de México. Expect his boleros and pop hits during slower nights or early sets on Sundays. If you’re in love — or drunk — you’ll sing along.
👠 10. Thalía – The Latin Pop Diva We All Know
Perfect for themed nights like Retro Reggaeton vs Pop Latino, Thalía still gets the crowd excited. Whether it’s “Amor a la Mexicana” or “Desde Esa Noche”, she brings glam and energy to the dance floor.
