Rhythms Redefined: A Panel on Latin Music’s Future

Hosted by Red Bull and UIC School of Theatre and Music

Join us at UIC for an engaging panel discussion during Hispanic Heritage Month, spotlighting the fastest-growing genre in the U.S. – Latin music. With a focus on Mexican artists like Danny Lux and Tornillo, the panel will explore how these emerging talents are evolving the genre, blending traditional Mexican sounds with modern influences to create new career opportunities for musicians, creatives, and industry hopefuls.

Our expert panelists include Daniela Rodriguez Araoz, Head of A&R at Sony Latin (who signed Danny Lux to Warner Latin and contributed to over 1.7 billion streams within the genre), Fernando Nieto, Founder of Miche Fest, and Daniel Romeo, a content creator renowned for showcasing Hispanic culture in Chicago. They will share their experiences in the growing Latin music scene and offer valuable insights into navigating the industry.

Moderated by Luis Sanchez, Host of UIC Radio’s Radio Fuego and Host at Red Bull Soundclash Chicago featuring DannyLux and Tornillo.

This event is free and open to all UIC students and includes a post-panel mixer, offering attendees the chance to network with industry professionals.
