Emilio Estefan Teams Up with Congress to Create ‘Latin Music Month’ & More Uplifting Moments


From career milestones to major announcements, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened this week.

May 2024 has been designated as “Latin Music Appreciation Month” in The United States, after a bipartisan resolution was introduced by U.S. senators Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla) this week. The effort was led by award-winning producer Emilio Estefan, People en Español, and political strategist and organizer Nathaly Arriola Maurice, after the group traveled to Washington, D.C. last year in December to meet with Senator Lújan. The industrial building that he decorated with instruments and a Bohemian aesthetic is also where he filmed the 12 music videos — including the Carin León-assisted “Una Viva Pasada” — directed by his wife Evaluna Montaner.
