Join Top Artists and Podcasters to Celebrate Mexican Pride With MEXCLA Spotify'

It's no secret that Mexico's vibrant music scene has transcended borders, captivating fans across the globe. In fact, M sica Mexicana-which encompasses a tapestry of styles and sounds-is one of the fastest-growing genres worldwide. Over the past five years, M sica Mexicana streams on Spotify shot up by 450% globally. In Mexico, consumption spiked by 560% in the same time frame, reflecting a growing pride in local music.

Now, Spotify is proud to present MEXCLA Spotify: Palenque, Feria y Cotorreo, which will unite fans, artists, and creators for our biggest live event to date in Mexico. On November 2 and 3, tens of thousands will gather at Parque Bicentenario in Mexico City to celebrate Mexican pride and showcase the diversity of Mexico's creative landscape, with performances from top artists like Grupo Firme, Luis R Conriquez, and Bellakath.

Combining Mexa with mezcla, the Spanish word for mix, the word Mexcla is a nod to Mexico's rich cultural heritage and diversity. It also speaks to the expanding musical palette of the next generation-on Spotify, Gen Z users in Mexico listen to 36% more artists every month compared to older generations.

This unique event will draw inspiration from some of Mexico's most beloved entertainment spaces and festive traditions. Attendees can expect the colorful energy of a feria, a traditional town fair, complete with food, games, and special experiences. The circular-style main stage will bring the lively atmosphere of a traditional palenque concert to Mexico's capital city, intimately connecting fans and artists.

Our lineup reflects the moment of Mexican pride that we are living in. We wanted to present a lineup with a very special curation, reflecting the variety of content that Mexico listens to on Spotify-an iconic mix of genres and identities, said Moni Salda a, Artist & Label Partnerships Manager, Spotify Mexico. With a 100% Mexican lineup, MEXCLA Spotify celebrates our culture, our talent, and the artists who are taking our music around the world.
