LOS ANGELES — The Martinez family had never attended a concert together. This year, Oscar, Christian and Brianna Martinez surprised their father and mother with tickets to the inaugural Bésame Mucho Festival, a birthday present for their dad.
"These are bands that me and my dad listened to when we were at work — so it's fitting to bring him, to finally see them live," said Oscar, 25, who was wearing a matching black Tejana, or cowboy hat, with his father. "I thought it'd be perfect."
The sold-out, one-day festival, produced by Live Nation and held Saturday at Dodger Stadium, brought together 58 Latin music artists across various genres, including rock, pop, salsa and Mexican regional music and spanning decades, from the 1960s to the 2000s.
Tickets quickly sold out when they were made available in February. The festival's popularity is rooted in nostalgia and its connection to the Spanish language.
“I think that people take pleasure out of identifying with Spanish, having music that they feel speaks directly to them — even if they’re not Spanish dominant,” said Ed Morales, an author and lecturer at Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race.
Oscar's older brother Christian, 26, who had more of a rocker vibe and was decked in black jeans, a black T-shirt and piercings, said the festival was perfect for the family.
Overall, the Latin genre saw a significant shift in 2022, largely fueled by Bad Bunny’s album “Un Verano Sin Ti.” Latin music surpassed country, making it the fourth most popular genre in the U.S.
Latin audio streams saw a 33% increase, according to Luminate’s 2022 Midyear Music Report.
"Before, we really were invisible,” said Leila Cobo, a renowned Latin music expert and Billboard’s vice president of Latin content. Streaming's increased accessibility has removed major barriers of entry for Latin music, Cobo said, allowing audiences of different generations to connect with artists in several languages and helping usher in new types of concerts and music festivals.
Rather than one artist, she said, it's a playlist for Latinos of all ages.
Before it was always the parents and the kids going to see different kinds of music, according to Cobo. "Now I think the kids go to see their parents’ music and Bad Bunny."
As he closed out the festival, the chart-topping Colombian singer and songwriter Juanes reflected on the day and shared with the audience how it was also special for him to hear bands that he grew up with and admires, such as Café Tacvba and Los Tigres del Norte.
