From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements and those little important moments, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
Intocable’s Message of Unity
Norteño powerhouse Intocable delivers a timely message of unity and resilience in “Estamos Todos,” a poignant short film about the complexities of migration and its impact on those who decide to embark on the journey.
Directed by Antonio Ramos, “Estamos Todos” opens with scenes of immigration raids on a television screen, a reality a number of immigrants face today across the U.S. under the Trump’s administration’s aggressive crackdown on immigration. The short film then goes on to tell parallel stories that mirror a shared and difficult experience of leaving everything behind.
“We just wanted to say something honest, something that asked questions,” Intocable’s frontman Ricky Muñoz said in a statement. “Because while we wait for answers, what we do know is that, as Hispanics, we must be more united than ever — and that is truly the message of this song.”
“I wanted every image to speak of nostalgia, but also of the strength that unites us beyond borders — and to sow a hope that deserves to be heard,” added Ramos. Watch “Estamos Todos” below:
Fuerza Regida & Justin Bieber Link Up
Earlier this week, Fuerza Regida’s Moises López surprised Justin Bieber with a custom jersey after a friendly soccer match in L.A. for The League, a weekly indoor soccer and basketball season that hosts private, invite-only games that bring people from across the industry. Both López and Bieber shared candid photos and videos from that night where the “Daisies” singer also joined a Mexican banda and even played some of the instruments.
