Mau y Ricky officially present “Ricky y Mau”, their new studio album and the most intimate, spontaneous, and emotional project of their career to date, according to the sons of Ricardo Montaner.
More than a record, “Ricky y Mau” represents a moment of transformation for the brothers. An album born from creative freedom, human connection, and the desire to make music again from an honest, immediate, and deeply personal place.
Across twelve songs, the brothers explore love, nostalgia, emotional tension, the chaos of modern relationships, and vulnerability from a luminous and contemporary perspective.
The project, which blends Latin pop, modern production, and highly memorable melodies, moves between moments of high energy and songs that are deeply melodic and vulnerable, with lyrics that feel close, conversational, and real.
“A veces todo cambia cuando entiendes que no importa dónde estás, sino con quién estás ahí”, comparte Ricky.
After the introspective phase of Hotel Caracas, this album marks a new energy for Mau and Ricky: lighter, freer and more alive. And that evolution begins with the title itself.
During the last few months, the brothers’ social media channels became the stage for a conversation as fun as it was emotional: the campaign led by Ricky to change the duo’s name to “Ricky y Mau”.
What began as a joke ended up revealing something far deeper about their relationship as brothers, artists and life partners. Although the group’s name remained intact, the album ended up adopting that title as a symbol of this new chapter.
The emotional heart of the project arrived with “Las Flores”, a song written by Ricky for Mau about brotherhood, the passage of time, being present and the importance of sharing the journey with the right people. But “Ricky y Mau” was not built solely in the studio.
In the past weeks, they brought the album to various stages in Spain and Latin America through a series of intimate experiences where they performed the songs live before their official release. What happened in those encounters ended up transforming the project as well.
Songs like “aiaiaiaiai” grew directly in front of the audience, turning into spontaneous anthems night after night. The people’s reaction ended up defining part of the album’s creative and emotional path. And there could be no other way to officially present “Ricky y Mau” than alongside them.
The album’s premiere occurred in front of the Metropólitan Theater in Mexico City, completely delivered, on a memorable night that functioned as the perfect closing of this series of listening experiences that accompanied the birth of the project.
An emotionally charged show, intimate and celebratory where the songs finally found their definitive place: sung back by the people who helped give them life.
“We wanted the music to breathe before it came out. That the songs found their place alongside the people”, Mau explains.
The project also gathers collaborations with artists such as Kapo, Lia Kali, Matisse and Marc Anthony, expanding the album’s emotional and sonic universe.
