Announced Jan. 21 at Miami’s Content Americas, the Rose d’Or Latinos Awards are “held during a period of great creative fervor, change, major challenges and arguably the greatest transformation the entertainment industry has ever experienced,” says jury chairman Marcos Santana, former president of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and current CEO of Mas Ros Media.
That creative fervor is well on display in nominations for the two biggest categories, Drama and Comedy/Dramedy. Variety profiles the nominees below. Some high-profile titles might seem missing: For example, Netflix’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and “Senna,” its biggest TV productions to date in Latin America. Voting, however, began before either title was released.

Los Tigres Del Norte, Maná, Alejandro Fernández, Chiquis Rivera, and more than 20 other Hispanic artists are coming together to condemn the Trump campaign’s anti-Latino and anti-immigrant rhetoric in a new statement, shared exclusively with Rolling Stone Wednesday.

Last August, Ximena Sariñana had a crazy idea: What if Mexico City hosted a massive festival à la Corona Capital, but made up of only women-led acts? The Mexican singer hit up her friend and singer Francisca Valenzuela who launched a similar fest Ruidosa Fest in Chile, and asked Ocesa promoter Itzel Gonzalez Flores out to dinner to present her with the idea. They immediately got to work.
“After our chat, we knew. ‘It’s time,’” recounts Sariñana. “In two months, Itzel already had a team and we started setting everything up.

Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, Women in Blue (Las Azules) tells the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative norms of the time and join Mexico’s very first female police force, only to discover that their squad is a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer.
As the body count grows, María (Bárbara Mori), whose determination to catch the killer becomes somewhat of an obsession, Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), whose father is a renowned cop, Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana), a brilliant fingerprint analyst, and Valentina (Natalia Téllez), a young rebel, set up a secret investigation to achieve what no male officer has been able to do and bring the serial killer to justice.

Artists used to focus on becoming popular in their home territories first before attempting to reach out to an international audience. But in a world increasingly interconnected by a few popular streaming services, that dynamic has changed. “It’s become easier [for artists] to go overseas first,” Vincent “Tuff” Morgan, vice president of A&r for Peer Music, told Rolling Stone last year. “Once you develop a story abroad, you move back Stateside.”

Nevertheless, when you think of R&b hotbeds, Mexico isn...

Rosalía’s El Mal Querer, an impressive fusion of old-school flamenco and hyper-modern electronic production, won Album of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday night in Las Vegas. Rosalía produced the album with El Guincho, and despite minimal radio play Stateside, it has earned around 40 million streams in the U.S. this year, according to the analytics company Alpha Data.
Rosalía was competing against Sebastián Yatra, Tony Succar, Ximena Sariñana, Alejandro Sanz, Luis Fonsi, Fonseca, Andrés Calamaro, Rubén Blades and Paula Arenas. Notably absent this year were...

Alejandro Sanz and Camila Cabello’s “Mi Persona Favorita” took home Record of the Year at the Latin Grammys. The saccharine acoustic ballad appeared earlier this year on Sanz’s new album, #Eldisco, and the singer performed it in Las Vegas on Thursday.
The odds were in Sanz’s favor in this category: He was nominated twice. In general, the category was dominated by seasoned performers: Marc Anthony, Juan Luis Guerra and Juanes were all up for the award along with Sanz. Anthony, a salsa star, was nominated for his first Grammy in 1996. Guerra,...

The Latin Recording Academy kicked off its 20th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday evening, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. An international celebration of music from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, it is the only peer-presented Latin music accolade.

The Latin Recording Academy has announced the nominees for the 20th annual Latin Grammy Awards with Flamenco pop star Rosalia (pictured) claiming the title of most recognized female artist with five nominations. But she has competition in Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, who takes the lead for most nominations with eight — three of which are shared with Camila Cabello.
“Mi Persona Favorita,” a collaborative project between Sanz and Cabello, the latter of Cuban heritage, earned the duo recognitions in the categories for best pop song, song of the year and record of the year. Rosalia’s song “Aute Couture” also earned her a nomination for song of the year.
Sanz’s song “No Tengo Nada” also landed him two nominations in the categories for record of the year and song of the year. Rosalia and J Balvin’s collaboration on the smash hit “Con Altura” earned her and the Colombian artist...

Now 50 years after the Stonewall Riots, the month of June has become synonymous with Lgbtq Pride. ‘Tis the season for campy pop classics to start creeping back into the airwaves — as well as seasonal releases that teeter between opportunistic cash grabs and gifts of sweaty, dancefloor catharsis. But don’t be deceived; timeless anthems Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and Sylvester’s “Mighty Real” still speak to the Lgbtq community’s fears, heartbreaks and life-affirming quests for authenticity, metabolized into song. In the case of Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Manuel Torreblanca,...

As Latin urban music continues to pervade the contemporary pop stratosphere — with the commercial growth of reggaeton and trap en español outpacing that of any other genre — it’s worth noting that regional Mexican music is also gaining speed. While it is true that the south-of-the-border genre has remained an enduring force within Spanish-speaking communities between the U.S. and Mexico for decades, its impact is arguably much bigger than what today’s Latin pop charts reflect.

Ximena Sariñana is out of touch. She’s not making Pepsi commercials for international markets, nor is she stoking political debates via Instagram. She’s not making a trendy sound like “Chicano Soul” — in fact, she doesn’t even know what that is. She’s not a Grammy darling, nor someone who rakes in many Pazz & Jop votes among music critics.
That’s not to call her irrelevant, though. Sariñana’s been in the public eye since she was nine years old, when she was cast in a small role in Hasta Morir,...

Best known for his arena-caliber Edm and bombastic bass drops, Los Angeles-born DJ-producer Dillon Francis has a long and storied history with Latin music. He began releasing mostly dubstep tracks in 2010, when the then-nascent moombahton genre — which combines electro-house with Latin-tinged reggaeton beats — first took the Internet by storm. Francis then notched his first major hit in 2011 via “Que Que,” a Spanish-language track alongside mentor and frequent collaborator Diplo, featuring Dominican-American artist Maluca. Fast-forward to 2018, and Francis has reached the cusp of a new career chapter: Dillon Francis, Latin pop crossover star.

DJ-producer Dillon Francis has announced the release date for his forthcoming Spanish language studio album. Wut Wut will drop on September 28th via his Idgafos label.
“The whole thing started from the Westside Ep in 2011. I had just discovered moombahton and began experimenting with Latin styles,” Francis said in a statement. “For my second album, I wanted to create one cohesive vision, since I now have a better understanding about what that means. Latin music is very close to my heart, and I knew this would be fun. I was...

It’s the time of year when festivalgoers have passed the white-knuckle phase of purchasing a wristband for the annual California desert phenomenon known as Coachella, which takes place over two consecutive weekends on April 13–15 and April 20–22. Now it’s time to explore the extensive and talented lineup.
The fest’s organizers at Goldenvoice have a reputation for keeping things fresh — see the Tupac Shakur hologram on stage with Snoop Dogg in 2012. Indeed, while it was originally billed as an indie rock festival, this year’s Music and Arts Festival will go without a single rock headliner for the first time.

During Tuesday night's brand-new episode of "Glee," McKinley High School power couples old and new went toe-to-toe in a battle of duets. But only one pair emerged a clear winner. While their cohorts opted for show tunes and Muzak, burgeoning lovebirds Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Sam (newcomer Chord Overstreet) shined with their take on the adorable pop rock tune (not to mention inevitable prom and wedding staple) "Lucky."
Released on Jason Mraz's 2008 album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things, the singer-songwriter's duet with fellow mellow crooner Colbie Caillat became a beloved, bubbly hit that just begs you to sing along (its catchy chorus goes, "I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend/ Lucky to have been where I have...
