Melanie Santiler releases debut album Los Cisnes
Melanie Santiler has released her debut album. Los Cisnes, a 10-track set, arrived on Sept. 25 through MamiFinaRecords/ONErpm. Billboard reported the release details on Sept. 25, 2026.
Santiler is 25 and from Havana. A debut album, the first full-length collection in an artist's catalogue, often sets the terms for how new listeners first meet a singer. In this case, that meeting point is ten songs under one title.
She arrives with recent industry attention. Santiler was named a 2025 Billboard On the Radar Latin artist. That tag is used by Billboard to point readers toward emerging Latin acts worth watching. It does not predict sales or chart places. It simply records that she was one of the newer names on the publication's list before this album.
Three of the ten titles have been picked out in early coverage. They are "Gataza," "Delincuente" and "Los Repas No Lloran." Those names were listed together in Billboard's Sept. 25 report. Full running orders and song credits normally sit with the label or streaming services. For now, those three give listeners fixed points inside the wider set.
Another fixed point is "CARIÑO." The song is listed on YouTube as taken from LOS CISNES. A tracklist shared on Instagram places the title song "Los Cisnes" at track eight. That listing credits Carlos Varela as a guest. A guest credit of this kind means a second voice appears on that recording. The Instagram posts carry no publication date, so they sit behind the dated September reports.
Santiler has also used the term visual album for the project. In an Instagram reel from September 2024, she described LOS CISNES as her first visual album. The phrase usually means music released alongside video work made to accompany it. The date matters here. The reel came a year before release week. It reads as an early statement of intent, not a final description of the Sept. 25 set.
For fans, this means the earlier songs can now be heard in sequence. Ten songs. One title. One release date. For new listeners, it means a clear starting place. The album is credited to Santiler under MamiFinaRecords/ONErpm, the label and distribution pairing attached to the release.
