From reggaeton to banda to indie rock and beyond, this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — set for April 15-17 and April 22-24 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California — includes the most extensive and diverse list of Latino artists in the festival’s lineup history.
Several artists from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico will make their festival debut, along with other multigenerational performers whose lineage spans from all over Latin America. Here are 10 worth catching in-person — if you’re going — or on the Coachella livestream.
Anitta: Hailing from Brazil, the pop star continues to make her name for herself on the world stage, singing in English, Spanish and Portuguese. In her ascension to fame, Anitta incorporated Brazil’s popular baile funk sound, but she has since expanded into other genres, particularly reggaeton, creating a unique mix of Latin music. She’s garnered a large following on TikTok and recently became the first Brazilian in history to top Spotify’s global chart. She has collaborated with artists such as Cardi B, J Balvin and Saweetie. Stream these songs: “Envolver,” “Me Gusta” and “Vai Malandra.”
