NPR Music · Alt.Latino: Why Harry Styles and The xx love Latin America · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

I will say lyrically, despite the fact that it's in English, there's something about the indignation to me that feels very Latin. voice-verified

In 1993, you'll see that Michael Jackson actually decides to go and tour in Mexico for the first time. voice-verified

He does five nights sold out in the Estadio Esteca. voice-verified

Mexico is absolutely enamored with Michael, and other people take notice. voice-verified

Spears, Backstreet Boys, and our girl Madonna. voice-verified

So, with this focus on Latin artists to make it mainstream, it seems we have a slowdown in the reverse. voice-verified

People are more focused again, like I said, on that story of how do we get a Latin American artist into a US market? voice-verified
