"Laboureau can most often be found in his Argentinian restaurant, Fuegos LA, which he operates with his partner in love and business, Maximilian Pizzi. But with years of experience in production design and fashion, he recently found himself dreaming up the inside of Bad Bunny's casita, a set piece previously seen only from the exterior during the Grammy Award-winning rapper and singer's "No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui" residency in Puerto Rico."
""For a Latino - or I think for everyone - a casita means a temple where you get together with your family, with your friend, where love happens," he said. "It's not about the actual set, but being part of a huge event and showing Latinos we are here, we are not going anywhere. We are massive. We are happiness, we are passion and we are community.""
Federico Laboureau opened Fuegos LA with his partner Maximilian Pizzi and operates an Argentinian restaurant selling empanadas, choripan and milanesa. Laboureau previously designed sets and produced visual components for film, TV and events. He designed the interior of Bad Bunny's casita for the Super Bowl halftime show, revealing an interior previously seen only from the exterior during the artist's residency. The casita functions as a symbolic space of family, love and community and serves as a statement of Latino presence amid immigration fears. The performance also featured L.A. restaurateur Victor Villa.
