Universal Music Latino Showcases Artists From the New Wave of Latin Music 

It had been a while since I saw so many music industry leaders in one place. So It is undeniable that Universal Music Latino outdid themselves at last week’s Showcase at “La Otra” in Miami. The Contrast Magazine team was one of the lucky handful that got invited to this private gathering at one of Miami’s most popular nightclubs. We couldn’t go without sharing our experience. 

This showcase presented artists that are leaving a mark on this new wave of latin music.

Universal’s showcase was hosted by Lil’ Sabotage and Mike Deuce and all eyes were on Alex Sensation, Álvaro Díaz, Bad Gyal, La Gabi & Nino Freestyle as they took the stage.  They were the protagonists of this celebration of a new wave of urban Latin artists. 

The development of the Latin Music Industry has opened many doors for those looking to make it big in the space. This growth has led to the development of media publications, podcasts, and exclusive content that helps the industry continue to expand.  Creators from all over Latin America are coming together for “La Industria”

Last week’s showcase had an incredible guest lineup. Streaming executives, latin media, and television execs could be seen enjoying the evening and reconnecting over drinks and great music.  Artists like Feid, and paopao could be seen enjoying the evening accompanied by Latin music’s most influential names.
