How Latin Artists Are Thriving Both at Music Festivals and on Spotify

April 24, 2025

From the California desert and Chicago’s Grant Park to New York City’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park and beyond, music festivals this spring and summer will sizzle with fans eager to hear their favorite acts. And this year, lineups are filled with some of the most talented Latin American artists who are bringing their music, language, and culture to these stages. 

The Marías​, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso​, Ivan Cornejo, Feid​, Young Miko, Rawayana, and LATIN MAFIA are among the Latin artists that are showing up and showing out. However, the impact of these artists goes far beyond the festival circuit with rising streams on Spotify. Here’s a look at what we’re seeing.

The Marías, who have festival spots booked all season long, have seen a 77% increase in their monthly listeners on Spotify since January. With more than 25 million listeners in LA and Chicago alone, their dreamy indie sound is clearly resonating.

Feid is one of the highest-billed Latin artists at a festival this summer, and in New York alone, the Colombian rapper, songwriter, and producer has 6.8 million listeners on Spotify.

Young Miko will be repping Puerto Rico this festival season. Her bold, genre-bending sound already dominates in Chicago, Miami, and LA, with more than 2 million Spotify listeners in each. And her collab with Feid on “CLASSY 101” has already racked up more than 38 million streams in 2025.

Ivan Cornejo and Junior H are representing Música Mexicana at major festivals and resonate deeply with youth culture. On Spotify, 66% of Ivan’s U.S. listeners and 55% of Junior H’s U.S. fanbase fall under the Gen Z umbrella. 

From Latin alt-pop to Reggaeton Mexa to electronic, Latin artists across genres are storming stages and garnering streams. Tune into Spotify’s Viva Latino playlist to hear some of the tracks they’re sure to be performing on festival stages everywhere.  

Ready for Some Spring Cleaning? Spotify Has the Tips—and Playlists—for That

April 6, 2022

Maybe it’s the extra hour of daylight that has people searching “spring cleaning checklist” in droves. Or perhaps it’s the hint of warmer weather on the horizon. Whatever it is, spring is officially upon us, and this boost of energy has people looking for the right soundtrack for cleaning out that closet. Throughout the month of March, there’s been a 139% surge in streams of “spring cleaning” playlists on Spotify, and streams of our popular Cleaning Music playlist have jumped by 126% globally. 

Got spring cleaning of your own to do? Whether you’re looking to organize your physical space or your digital collection, Spotify has the tips to keep you motivated. 

Leave these in the “keep” pile

The top genres added to “spring cleaning” playlists in March were pop, dance pop, rock, and electropop. This makes sense, considering that 64% of respondents in a Spotify survey from 2021 said they prefer to listen to fast-BPM, high-energy music when doing housework. 

Some of the most popular songs added to “spring” playlists on Spotify include “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles, “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee, “Golden” by Harry Styles, and “New Light” by John Mayer. 

Others that people have added to their “cleaning” playlists (and that we can imagine bopping along to while scrubbing that hard-to-reach area under the kitchen sink) include “My House” by Flo Rida and “No Scrubs” by TLC. 

Clean out your digital closet 

Organizing your physical space is important, but your digital space may also need some TLC. To help with that, we put together some tips for bringing order to your Spotify library. 

  • Organize Your Playlists: We know summer ’08 was a great time for new music, but you might not be playing those jams as often anymore. If you want to store your playlist away for safekeeping, you can add it to a dedicated folder. Simply right-click your playlist on your desktop or web player, select “Create Folder,” give it a name, and voila—your old playlists have a new home. 
  • Navigate Your Library: If you’re having a hard time sorting through all your saved tracks, the “Your Library” tab on mobile has you covered. Just tap the search icon to look for a particular song or artist, or sort your music by using the “Recently Played,” “Recently Added,” “Alphabetical,” or “Creator” filters.  
  • Keep Your Content Fresh: That playlist you made last year during spring break? It might need an update. If you have Spotify Premium, just tap the Enhance button at the top of your playlist to let Spotify suggest personalized song additions that match the vibe you’re going for.
  • Personalize Your Playlist Art: Take your playlist game to the next level with custom cover art. On your Spotify mobile app, tap the three-dot icon next to the play button and select “Edit” to upload a new image. If you’re using web or desktop, simply open the playlist and click the existing cover image to change it out for something new.
