From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements and those little important moments, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
Mental Health Support
Mexican star Alejandro Fernández announced that a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold on his ‘De Rey a Rey’ U.S. and Canada tour will be donated to Backline, a nonprofit organization dedicated to mental health and wellness support for music industry professionals and their families. According to a press release issued by Live Nation, who is behind this upcoming tour, this partnership will “specifically help expand Backline’s services and reach within the Latino music community—an area often underserved by mental health resources.”
The ‘De Rey a Rey’ Tour is tribute to Fernández’s iconic father, Vicente Fernández. The stint kicks off this Saturday, May 10 at Seattle’s WAMU Theater at Lumen Field. See the dates here.
