To commemorate Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month, Instagram has rounded up some of the most buzzworthy acts shaking up the scene for a special initiative called #SomosLimitless.
On Thursday (October 7), the social media platform's campaign in conjunction with Universal Music Latino unleashed an almost four-minute music video that "highlights the richness and diversity of the new generation of Latinx emerging game-changers who are impacting culture and music through their artistry which pays homage to their proud heritage." Among the acts featured in the project include Puerto Rican rapper Guaynaa, Miami-based Latin-trap act Mariah Angeliq, regional Mexican pop star Adriel Favela, openly gay Colombian talent Esteman, Panamanian reggaeton rapper Elisama, and Colombian producer, Sky Rompiendo, as well as Afro-Latine poet Melania Luisa Marte. In the clip for the Rompiendo-produced cut, viewers get face time with the group as they shine a light on the Latinx community's cultural fluidity.
In a statement for the venture, Universal Music Latino emphasized their pride in celebrating a new era of acts. "We are beyond proud and excited to team up with Instagram to celebrate this new generation of artists who cross borders and bend convention with a one-of-a-kind, celebratory genre-bending music video," Angel Kaminsky, President of Universal Music Latino, said. "#SomosLimitless celebrates the fluidity and diversity of the Latinx community through these talented, emerging musical artists on our roster."
