Last week, Anitta announced she was stepping away from this year’s Coachella over “unexpected personal reasons.” With her departure, the Brazilian star leaves a second-liner Coachella slot vacant for a possible Latin artist to fill.

Over the last several years, Coachella has done an excellent job of highlighting Latin music at the festival overall, including on the main stage — Becky G, Peso Pluma, Grupo Firme, and J Balvin come to mind.

And this year is no exception: Música mexicana stars Junior H and Iván Cornejo each take on similar billing to Anitta’s slot.

Baja Beach Fest’s lineup just keeps growing. On Tuesday, the annual Rosarito Beach-hosted festival announced that J Balvin, Don Omar, Maluma, and Natanael Cano will headline this year’s edition, slated for Aug. 8-10 in Baja California.

J Balvin will headline Friday, which will also feature performances from reggaetón stars Young Miko, Anitta, El Alfa, and El Malilla. Tito Double P, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, and 3BallMTY will represent música mexicana’s distinct genres.

Don Omar will close Saturday’s event, along with performances from reggaetoneros Arcangel, Blessd, Wisin,...

Colombian women have been the top winners at Premio Lo Nuestro for two consecutive years, thanks to Karol G’s 2024 dominance and Shakira’s 2025 takeover.

On Thursday night, Premio Lo Nuestro honored the best performers and musicians across genres of Latin music. Awards went to icons like Shakira and Carlos Vives, newcomers like Xavi and Ela Taubert, and major names like Carín León and Camilo.

Shakira — who’s in Colombia for her massive world tour — accepted her award from her native Barranquilla, sending in a video to celebrate her six trophy wins,...

After Maná became the first Spanish-language band to earn a nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week, drummer Alex González had an iconic José Alfredo Jiménez lyric ringing in his head: “No hay que llegar primero, pero hay que saber llegar.” (“You don’t need to get there first, but you must know how you got there.”)

The classic “El Rey” line speaks to the years of sacrifice and work that Maná and many major Latin American rock bands have put in to be finally recognized...

On Tuesday, Sueños Fest announced that Shakira, Peso Pluma, Don Omar, and Grupo Frontera will headline its 2025 festival in Grant Park on May 24 and 25.

The festival features a mix of música mexicana stars and Latin pop and reggaeton acts.

Farruko is the first to admit that he’s been on a journey the last couple of years. “I think it’s not a secret that I had a really successful career with a lot of global hits… But what can I say? I think I forgot about myself as a human being to get to a certain position, so I stopped for some time to reflect and find myself and become more open to my own spirituality.”

For fans who have been following along, Farruko shared a glimpse of...

Don Omar has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, the Puerto Rican artist announced on his Instagram on Tuesday, writing that Harris “represents the respect and change our communities need, and I believe she can forge a new path forward.”

The endorsement comes days after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist comments during Donald Trump’s New York Rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, where he called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.”

“Puerto Rico is my land and my identity, and today more than ever I raise the flag of my island with pride,...

The Twisters soundtrack is loaded with country songs, many of which were recorded and produced specifically for the movie, to help give audiences a great time. Set in modern Oklahoma, the Twister sequel is a mixture of recapturing the fun of the 1996 original and updating it for present-day audiences. This was done by having rising stars with popular followings like Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell headlining Twisters' cast. The film's goal of being the ideal summer blockbuster also means providing a great selection of songs throughout.

The original 1996 Twisters soundtrack relied heavily on pop and rock music to give audiences some recognizable music. The sequel went in a very different direction, embracing the Oklahoma setting for a set list primarily focused on country songs and artists. There are still some non-country music choices included in the movie. Regardless of the music genre, the 2024 blockbuster relies almost exclusively on using songs...

Two weeks before the release of his third studio album, Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X), Jhayco answers my video call from the terrace of the Biltmore Hotel in Miami, where he’s seated for lunch. Hiding his blue eyes behind a voguish pair of shades, he points out the mystic sequences of numbers tattooed on his body: 333, 444, 555. These numbers, called angel numbers, often appear to him by chance, whether from clocks, receipts, addresses, or if he happens to be looking at his phone at the right time. Jhayco, 31, believes these...

Much like the original Twister (1996) film’s adrenaline-fueled rock soundtrack, Twisters boasts a stacked soundtrack full of country heavy hitters like Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Tanner Adell, Lainey Wilson and many more.

Other songs were contributed by Benson Boone, Chris Stapleton, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Shania Tain, Leon Bridges. The rodeo at night features snippets of songs after a national anthem performance from Glen Powell‘s sister Leslie.

Read on for the full Twisters soundtrack:

“Salió de Sol” by Don Omar “Never Left Me” by Megan Moroney “Death Wish Love” by Benson Boone “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” by Luke Combs “Chasing the Wind” by Lanie Gardner “Arkansas” by Chris Stapleton “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” by Charley Crockett “Wall of Death” by Wilderado, Ken Pomeroy & James McAlister “Song While You’re Away” by Tyler Childers “Hell or High Water” by Bailey Zimmerman “Too Easy” by Tanner...

Even though he has been playing the role for years now, Antony Starr is finally getting the attention he deserves for his role in The Boys as Homelander. Having used all of his skills to shape one of the more hated villains of all time, there is no denying that he knows what he is doing when it comes to playing villains, a skill very few have. Recognizing his talents, many fans have been thinking of other antagonists he could play across the various franchises out there.

Antony Starr as Homelander I Amazon Prime Video

Although many would jump to the conclusion of the Joker, who has the same sadistic tastes that Homelander does, there may be someone better suited for Starr. A character that is known for his pettiness, much like the Supe himself, and one that is looking for a desperate revival.

Don Omar has cancer. The reggaeton superstar shared the health news in an Instagram post early Monday morning, though he did not reveal details about his diagnosis.

“Today I have it, but tomorrow I won’t have cancer,” Don Omar wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of himself making a fist while wearing an Orlando Health hospital wristband. “Well wishes are well received. I’ll see y’all soon.”

He added in a hashtag: Fuck Cancer. Rolling Stone is out to Don Omar’s team regarding the singer’s diagnosis.

Wisin & Yandel’s first album, Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio, came out in 2000. For millennial hip-hop heads, that was the year Outkast’s Stankonia and Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele dropped. For rock fans, that’d be the year Radiohead released Kid A. And for zoomers, well, that was three years before Olivia Rodrigo was even born.

All of that is a long-winded way of saying Wisin has been around for a minute now. But if his new album, Mr. W, is any indication, he’s an O.G. who...

No one takes the crown from the king. On Wednesday night, Don Omar delivered a high-energy, career-spanning celebration as part of his Back to Reggaeton tour stop in Los Angeles. During a nearly two-hour, 40-song show at the Kia Forum, Don Omar delivered a set filled with old-school perreo while also paying tribute to the artists that paved the way for him.

If you ask the members of Grupo Frontera why they’ve become such a phenomenon in música mexicana, they’ll probably say they’re just having fun.

“Cumbias, I don’t want to say we revived them,” says vocalist Payo Solis, looking hesitantly at his bandmates at first. Then he adds: “But when we started playing them, it gave the genre a whole new life.”

Over the last year, the Texan band has rocketed to the top of Latin music, even joining Bad Bunny onstage at Coachella 2023 for a rendition...

As reggaetón continues to dominate the music charts, the genre's legends, including Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón, Ivy Queen, and Don Omar remain more relevant than ever for their roles in shaping a movement that originated in Puerto Rico and eventually went global. But Don Omar's comeback has been a long-awaited one. The leyenda known for his early 2000s hits like "Dale Don," "Sácala," and "Salió el Sol," has officially returned to the scene with his "Back to Reggateon" US Tour, produced by Cmn. The tour not only marks his highly anticipated return to the stage but also beautifully celebrates his two-decade-long career and its impactful contributions to the genre.

This month, Grammy-winning artist Goyo, a member of legendary group ChocQuibTown, drops in to talk about her latest turn as a solo act, Afro-Latine representation, and what she's got in store for us in 2024.

As reggaetón, afrobeats, and trap become global, their distinct sounds and formulas become more cemented. However, rapper and singer Goyo has always defied the confines of a single genre. As a member of the award-winning group ChocQuibTown, the sound that she helped craft along with her brother Miguel "Slow" Martinez and Carlos "Tostao" Valencia, combined elements of traditional African percussion, Colombian folk, hip-hop, dancehall, and reggaetón.

Rolling Stone can exclusively announce that Don Omar will bring Machine Gun Kelly onstage during a special performance of “Danza Kuduro” at Thursday’s Premio Lo Nuestro.

The performance will be part of a medley of hits from the reggaeton legend as he receives the Global Icon award at the Univision awards show.

The nominations for Premio Lo Nuestro 2024 are here!

The nominees were announced on Monday (January 22), and Maluma leads the list with 14 noms to his name, followed by Featherweight with 13, Grupo Frontera with 10 and Karol G and Feid with nine each.

They are all up for Artist of the Year, as well as acts like Bad Bunny, Ozuna and Shakira.

The Premio Lo Nuestro winners are chosen by fan votes, recognizing 180 artists in 38 categories across the tropical, pop and Mexican music genres.

Nominees are selected through a partnership with Uforia, which takes into account airtime on Univision Radio and digital streaming numbers, as well as evaluations from a committee made up of music and entertainment industry experts, via Billboard.

The ceremony will be hosted by Galilea Montijo, Clarissa Moline and Angélica Vale, and will air live on Univision on Thursday, February 22 beginning at 7 pm Et from Miami, Fla.

Thank you for your words and for listening to mine, which came from the heart too,” Omar wrote in Spanish. “I wish you and your family the best.

Have we suddenly been transported back to the 2000s? Looking at the state of reggaetón right now, it might seem that way. From Baby Rasta Y Gringo recently releasing a masterclass in the genre, Chencho linking up with Wisin for the banger "Loco X Perrearte," and Tainy making his teachers proud by continuing to push the limits of perreo, there is plenty of new reggaetón for fans to be excited about. Now, Luny Tunes are back with "Sandunga," a brand new single that dropped on Nov. 2 and reaches deep into their bag of beats to remind you just how big of a role they played in making reggaetón what it is today. And acho man, it's heavy.

While the word sandunga can have different connotations in different parts of Latin America, in Puerto Rico it is an Africanismo that signifies the essence of the party. It is that essential raw,...

By now, we’ve sen Don Omar do a little bit of everything: salsa, cumbia, kuduro, danzon. But he’s always at the top of his game when he brings fans back to his old-school reggaeton days and reminds them why he’s still the Don of the genre.

His new song, “Sandunga” is no exception. The historic collaboration sees Don Omar unite reggaeton heavyweights Wisin Y Yandel and the legendary producer Luny Tunes. It’s not the first time they’ve worked together, and their connection is apparent in the song’s full-throttle sound.

Miami – Last week, at his Washington D.C. tour stop, Colombia born singer-songwriter, and global Latin music superstar Maluma, premiered a heartfelt and extremely personal video for his song “Procura” off his newly released album, Don Juan. The video features a huge surprise and is a very special moment for Maluma.

In September, Maluma and Mexican singer-songwriter Carin León, reached #1 on TikTok for their song “Según Quién.” The track has accumulated over 2.4 billion views and 1 million creations on the platform. Earlier this month, Maluma performed the track alongside Carin León on Good Morning America and solo on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. He also treated viewers to a performance of “Coco Loco” on GMA.

Chencho Corleone is on FaceTime with his entire roster. On Thursday night, the Puerto Rican reggaetonero released the video for his single “Good Times,” in which he sings to a casual partner (or several of them) about their secret rendezvous.

The Fast & Furious franchise has provided opportunities for rappers and singers to showcase their acting skills and make guest appearances. Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, both wrestler-turned-actors, have also had music careers on the side. Grammy-winning musicians like Ludacris, Don Omar, and Cardi B have contributed to the franchise's soundtracks and made brief cameos in the movies.

The Fast & Furious franchise has launched the acting careers of several rappers and singers while offering memorable guest appearances for other artists. With an ensemble led by Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and the late Paul Walker, the Fast & Furious movies also feature cast members who've enjoyed pursuits other than acting. For example, Mma fighter Rhonda Rousey punched her way into an extended cameo in Furious 7, and the movies have also spotlighted former WWE superstars Dwayne Johnson and John Cena.

Interestingly, both Johnson and Cena have had brief music careers on the side,...

In our Q&a feature series Tell Me Más, we ask some of our favorite Latine artists to answer the questions only their BFFs know about them, revealing everything from their most recent read to the songs that get them hyped. This month, we sit down with Puerto Rican alternative reggaetón artist Álvaro Díaz.

Álvaro Díaz has a secret ingredient that makes his musical recipe superb. The Puerto Rican artist, known by family and fans as Alvarito, is simply being himself. As fans anticipate the release of his sophomore album, "Sayonara," Díaz confirms the sound may be different from his first album, but his authenticity will always be his main sabor.

Last summer, as Bad Bunny wrapped his "Un Verano Sin Ti" concerts with back-to-back shows in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the Coliseo, he brought out several special guests - including fellow Puerto Rican artists Tommy Torres, Villano Antillano, and Young Miko. And on the third and final night of the tour, he shared the stage with RaiNao (whose real name is Naomi Ramírez). It was a full-circle moment for the rising indie artist because it came only weeks after Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) shared that he had been listening to RaiNao's song "Luv" all summer long. While performing alongside the No. 1 artist in the world was a significant moment in RaiNao's musical career - one she shares she will always be grateful for - the proudly queer singer and songwriter was already making a name for herself in Puerto Rico's alt-perreo scene following her debut EP,...

Intro: Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner head down to Rio for the fifth entry in the Fast and Furious franchise. The most popular of the sequels, this one reunites Dom and Brian with several friends from previous films. Brings Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson into the ensemble. And takes the whole series in a new direction. The movie is Fast Five, and it’s about to be Revisited.

Set-up: Justin Lin thought he was done with the Fast and Furious movies after directing two of them. But while doing press for the fourth film in the series in 2009, he met a lot of passionate fans who had him re-thinking his plan to step away. And then Universal not only promised that the filmmaker would be able to do something different with the fifth film – they demanded that it be something different. In late 2009, Adam Fogelson was hired as the chairman of Universal,...

Now, that’s a unexpected crossover — but we’re high-key living for it. Machine Gun Kelly performed at Mad Cool Festival on Thursday, and early in his set, he surprised fans by singing a cover of none other than Don Omar’s smash reggaetón hit “Danza Kuduro.”

“Spain, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country. I can feel all the love here today,” Mgk told the crowd in near-perfect Spanish. (He even used the vosotros verb conjugation used in Spain.) “In return, I’d like to sing...

This episode of Revisited was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Travis Hopson, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Adam Walton and Chris Bumbray, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

After two sequels apart, the Fast and Furious family is reunited in the fourth film. Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, the gang’s all here. And yes, they’re racing cars once again… but this time the stakes are life or death. We’re going back to 2009 to talk about Fast & Furious (watch it Here) for this episode of Revisited.

Universal tried something different with the third film in the Fast and Furious franchise. Rather than make it a direct follow-up to the previous films, they brought in new characters. Teenagers they thought would be more appealing to the youth market. They got a decent movie out of it, but not a lot of pay-off. Tokyo...

Everywhere he goes, Bad Bunny represents where he comes from and the artists who inspired him.

Designed by Avi Davidov and Ofir Ben-Shimon, the medallions represent the decades-long careers of Puerto Rican luminaries Tego Calderón, Héctor El Father, Wisin Y Yandel, Arcángel, Don Omar, and Daddy Yankee.

It only comes when summoned, the local legend says. A shark ‘of God-like proportions’ – some say a megalodon – known as el Demonio Negro and bent on vengeance. It’s the reason why the once prosperous coastal town is now all but deserted. Only a small group of men can be seen when the family arrives.

Los Bandoleros, Vin Diesel’s only work as a director in the Fast and Furious franchise, is a lightweight 20-minute short that’s often unjustly misclassified as a supplemental and unimportant entry in the series. In fact, it’s a charming and refreshingly low-key short that gives some narrative background to characters and plot points that carry from Fast and Furious onward into future films. Chronologically-speaking, it’s the first canonical appearance of Tego Leo (Tego Calderon) and Rico Santos (Don Omar), as well as Han Lue (Sung Kang).

For months now, thanks to the steady drumbeat of both Universal’s ace marketing department and various members of the cast on social media, we have been informed that “Fast X,” the tenth movie in the franchise, is “the beginning of the end of the road.” And that an eleventh film, once again directed by French filmmaker Louis Leterrier (who joined the series after creative differences led to Justin Lin leaving “Fast X” mid-production), is soon on the horizon.

Everybody is back for “Fast X,” from series regulars like Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster and Sung Kang to more recent additions like John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel and Jason Statham, to car-loving characters completely new to the franchise like Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson, Jason Momoa (stealing every scene he’s in), Daniela Melchior and, for some reason, Rita Moreno. Because when you think about the fuel-injected “Fast and Furious” franchise,...

As Dominic Toretto (played with muscle-y esteem by Vin Diesel) once said, "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time." When 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" came out, this sentiment referred to Dom's love of street racing. But on the eve of the premiere of "Fast X," the 10th entry in the series, perhaps Dom should've said he lives his life a quarter-century at a time.

The release of "Fast X" marks 22 glorious years of the "Fast" saga, and as the 25-year mark approaches, it seems that Diesel and company are eager to give their long-running franchise a big, splashy final act. Because the "Fast" films are not based on any pre-existing source material, the journey from each movie to the next has been thrillingly unpredictable as the Torettos and their extended family reach bigger and crazier heights.

Now that Diesel, the rest of the ensemble cast, and...

Consider the hatchet buried between Don Omar and Cosculluela. The two reggaeton artists decided to meet in the middle on their first-ever collaboration, “Bandidos,” which simmers over a theatrical beat and makes room for both musicians to boast about their skillset while settling their feud.

What is it about Pete Davidson?

That’s the question that comes up every time the tabloids report on his dating life, every time we hear about Lorne Michaels taking him on vacation or Jeff Bezos promising to shoot him into space. It sometimes seems even to extend to his roles — like his signature Saturday Night Live character Chad, a totally unremarkable dude who nevertheless attracts attention and adoration everywhere he goes.

It’s a question that might find its way to your lips again as you scan the eye-watering list of cameos for Davidson’s new Peacock dramedy Bupkis — everyone from Machine Gun Kelly (of course) to Ray Romano (why not) to Al Gore (what?). Heck, it’s more or less the premise of Bupkis, created by Davidson (alongside Judah Miller and David Sirus) and starring Davidson as a fictionalized version of himself. Based on the season’s eight uneven episodes,...

Heads up, #family! It seems "Fast X" is going Revelations on all of our asses. By that I mean the most Latino and Catholic franchise in Hollywood is ready to have Jason Momoa literally blow up the Vatican with a giant bomb that looks exactly like the Death Star.

There are franchises that pivot and change drastically halfway through, but none have done so quite successfully as "Fast & Furious." What started as a simple movie about a cop going undercover with some illegal street racers has become the only true competitor to the "Mission: Impossible" franchise in terms of bonkers plots and impossible stunts — only this one has cartoon physics (and also Ludacris).

While many Hollywood franchises are attempting to add more diversity to their cast, "Fast & Furious" has naturally had that from the start. Sure, these movies have had a lot of Latino actors over the years...

When it comes to live performances, Rauw Alejandro sure knows how to deliver. He goes well beyond what's generally expected of a music artist, featuring special guests and running through both recent songs and past hit-makers for nearly three hours.

But perhaps more than anything else, the Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap artist puts on a show like no other because he can dance - like, really dance. Think: b-boy moves and freestyle formations. But it's not just of his own accord; like others, he has a team of creative geniuses who have helped make his star shine bright.

While Alejandro, 30, has always had a natural talent for dancing, he began honing his craft after working with the founders of the dance company Fede Enterprises, choreographers Felix "FeFe" Burgos and Denise Yuri-Disla.
