The Rise of the European Latin Music Scene- Refinery29

More and more Latine artists from across Europe are taking center stage in the Latine music scene — Ana Tijoux from France; Boy Pablo and Esteban Muñoz from Norway; Sophie Castillo, Juanita Euka, Elle Darlington, and Desta French from the UK; Yendry from Italy. And then there are also non-Latine Spanish artists like Rosalía, Quevedo, and Bad Gyal who have capitalized on Latine genres and grown its popularity in the region. As a result, the European Latine music scene seems to be taking its own unique form. ⁠ ⁠Artists like Yendry, Castillo, and Esteban Muñoz are nurturing the European Latine music scene into a kaleidoscope of sounds that every listener should have the privilege of exploring. Multiculturalism has always defined the evolution of music, and the Latine music landscape in Europe is no exception. ⁠ ⁠When talking about what the European Latine music scene is missing, Castillo says, “I think it’s just about the right labels taking that leap of faith and being like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to commit.’ We’ve seen what Latin music has done all over the world. We’ve seen what it’s done in the U.S. Now it’s our time to shine as well.”
