The De Los SXSW showcase drove home Latino community values
Briefly

The 2025 De Los showcase at South by Southwest highlighted the essential role of community in the music industry. Held at Mala Fama in Austin, Texas, the event featured six Latin music acts showcasing diverse interpretations of the genre. Artists like DJ Bolo and Edgar Alejandro emphasized their joy in collaborating and performing together, enhancing their artistic experiences. The evening was marked by a spirit of camaraderie, with performers supporting each other and celebrating their connections, underlining how collaboration fuels creativity in music.
I've been in rooms where people are very closed-minded and you really can't push yourself that much. But with homies like Bolo, we always mess around. It definitely lets me explore.
To be able to experience the festival for the first time together and perform together is so much fun. That’s what it’s about. Collaboration and connection are what keep me excited.
