"I want to fly." These were the words that Rauw Alejandro began with as he sat down with Adrian Martínez, the creative director for his Saturno World Tour 🪐🪐 @rauwalejandro returned to his home of Puerto Rico for two nights at the historic Hiram Bithorn Stadium in the capital city of San Juan, where the flying concept was almost impossible. The stadium being an open-air baseball stadium and not an arena, the creative and technical teams involved in planning Rauw's tour had to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to adapt the experience to a different location with a new set of limitations.

Who says life is to be taken seriously? To remind us that life’s about letting go and having fun, Lulú tapped inXimena Soto on her newest single, “Be$itos,” premiering exclusively on Remezcla today. Sometimes the best ideas come unexpectedly. Such is the case of “Be$itos,” a concept that Lulú came up with during a night of overthinking. Before falling asleep, she thought to herself: “Enserio, ya no te tomes todo tan en serio [Seriously, don’t take everything so seriously],” which became the intro to her next hit. “[It’s] an empowerment anthem,” she tells Remezcla about the new track. “This song helps us to say goodbye to giving importance to the glances of others, to prejudices, and simply live and do what you want.” Read more about their new project and watch the video in #linkinbio.

Yes, you read that right 🤓 20 years since its release, original cast members of ‘Betty La Fea’ Ana Maria Orozco and Jorge Abello shared a sequel is coming! 🎥: @primevideo

It’s fair to assume that Santee Alley, the popular outdoor shopping market and epicenter of Los Angeles’s fashion district, is one of Estevie’s favorite places to hang out in the city. The 20-year-old singer and songwriter not only frequents it regularly but has immortalized the hustle and bustle of the sprawling callejones in her single “Santee.” It’s the ultimate ode to ballin’ on a budget and the endless supply of snacks—or “chuchulucos,” as Estevie calls them—found at every corner that fuel those spontaneous shopping sprees, all set to an irresistible and jaunty syncopated beat. “It’s such a cool place,” Estevie tells Remezcla. “My mom and I go look for the telas and everything. I’ve been going there since I was nine to look for the fabrics and accessories for my outfits that me and my mom put together.” She holds a rough sketch of her next ensemble to the camera during the Zoom call. Much like her music, the beaded Selena-esque fit contains multitudes. “Ever since I was little, I was so obsessed with horses and always wanted to be a vaquera. I get to be a vaquera every day now,” she says with a laugh. Swipe to see what @estevie has to see how Cumbia makes her feel and what she says about Regional Music.

All we see is a SI! Let us know what you think of @shakira’s look at the @viktorandrolf show in Paris below:

⁠ Mexico City’s Corona Capital has steadily become one of the most notorious music festivals. Hosting some of the biggest artists in the world, millennial and Gen Z-approved nostalgia acts, and up-and-coming names across a variety of genres including pop, indie rock, hip-hop, emo, and punk, the festival has become one of the most important events in Mexico and Latin America. With this in mind, an aspect that has become controversial for the festival over the years has been the lack of representation of Latine acts in its lineups to the point of sparking many conversations online.⁠ ⁠ Upon announcing its 2023 edition, the festival received instant criticism for lack of Latine representation, with Rebecca Black being the sole artist from our communities to be featured in this event. People have demanded that Mexican and Latin American acts be included while others requested a Latine-free festival, reproducing wrong and hateful sentiments about their artistic merits. As we revisit Corona Capital’s history, we can see a clearer picture of what is happening and what is most worrying about this situation.⁠ ⁠ Swipe, and read more from our writer @kiddieriot in #linkinbio.

Humor has always been the LGBTQ+ community’s most powerful weapon. Throughout history, biting satire and razor-sharp wit have empowered us to cut down our bullies and aim at the social structures designed to keep us quiet and obedient. But queer people are different—non-normative by definition—and art is where much of that rebelliousness has blossomed, leading to a unique narrative and aesthetic style we now refer to as camp.⁠ ⁠ Spain has a long-running relationship with camp, most notably exemplified by La Movida Madrileña and the wave of uproarious, sex and gender-defying art that flooded pop culture in the 1970s following the end of Francisco Franco’s decades-long military dictatorship. The punk-disco wiles of Alaska y Dinarama, as well as Pedro Almodovar’s boundary-pushing melodramas, have become essential queer canon. And camp has continued thriving through the years with everyone from provocative trans bombshell La Veneno to electropop satirists Las Bistecs and Ojete Calor to a parade of scene-stealing stars on “Drag Race España.”⁠ ⁠ Swipe to check songs from @laprohibida, @lasdianas_, @hidrogenesse and @cariniopop.

Kid Cudi is getting some new kicks. The singer revealed the first “proper sneaker collaboration” of his career with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF ironically called Super Normal 2.⁠ ⁠ It’s ironic because, well, there’s nothing “normal” about Cudi’s new sneakers, which were revealed exclusively by Highsnobiety. MSCHF co-founder Daniel Greenberg said Super Normal 2 sneakers would liven up the “incredibly stale” current sneaker landscape. “Think about these collaborations where they bring in a celebrity to just change a color or emblem and that’s it,” Greenberg said. “If we were going to collaborate with a sneaker brand, they’d have to break open a new mold.”⁠ ⁠ Swipe to check them out and if you want a pair read more in #linkinbio.

Remezcla’s Director of Artist & Talent Relations Joel Moya writes about his personal experience attending BIME Bogotá, the annual music conference building a reputation as one of the new coveted international stages to showcase the best and brightest in music, tech, innovation, startups, and more. With over 2,000 thousand attendees from 30 different countries, the Basque Country-born music conference, Bogotá, served as the host of the second edition of BIME on Latin American soil, setting precedents for years to come.⁠ ⁠ "My time in Bogotá reaffirmed my choice of career path, offering reassurance when needed. Each morning, the hotel restaurant became the bustling meeting point where we gathered to discuss our agendas for the day. As the clock struck 8 am, we eagerly hopped on the shuttle that transported us to EAN University, the hub of daytime activities."⁠ ⁠ Swipe to see some moments from @bimenet_ and read more on @joelmoya's experience in #linkinbio.

Independent toy brand @purposetoys is launching the first Latine-dedicated toy line to its company. According to a recent press release, Purpose Toys LATIN will serve as a “cultural-focused division founded with the goal of uplifting and celebrating the Latino community.”⁠ ⁠ The company’s Latine division will release “Latinistas,” a collection of Latina dolls “designed to reflect the beauty and diversity of the Latino community.” According to Purpose Toys, the dolls in the “Latinistas” lineup come with a variety of skin tones, eye colors, hair colors, hair textures, facial features and more.⁠ ⁠ Find out how you can get yours in #linkinbio

With LGBTQ+ Pride Month nearing its end, we are spotlighting artists across the Latine diaspora who are also a part of the queer community. Remezcla’sPride theme this year is joy, so we compiled a list of songs where queer Latine artists celebrate who they are. Artists in the LGBTQ+ community are making waves in music beyond June, so this is a friendly reminder that their stories should be heard all year round.⁠ ⁠ Swipe to check songs from @estemanmusic, @lomaasbello, @bruses_ and @lali, and for more songs, read #linkinbio.

Argentine DJ and electronic producer Tayhana is describing what her ideal Pride celebration looks like in 2023. Instead of marching or going on an all-night bender, she’d rather host a chill bbq on the terrace outside her San Rafael recording studio, surrounded by her girlfriend and close friends and with easy access to a bathroom. The quaint plan is a far cry from her tremendous 2018 Pride showing, where she played a booming b2b set alongside Brooklyn titan TYGAPAW. That particular rager featured a distinct blend of techno, ballroom, and Brazilian batucada samples, closing out the night at Mexico City queer institution Traición , where the pair took the stage shortly after SOPHIE’s now fabled headlining set. “Pride is strange,” she adds with a chuckle. “It’s a double-edged sword. Sometimes I feel like I’m whoring myself out with these activations, but I’m also aware it’s an opportunity to put my name out there.” Swipe to see which gigs she prefer, and read more with @tayhana_ in #linkinbio. ✍️: @rixinyc
