Miami, tengo un plan, imagina, you and me at Latin Music Week with SANTOS BRAVOS.

SANTOS BRAVOS are getting ready to make Miami theirs on October 19, 2026, returning to Billboard Latin Music Week for a second round with a talk about their first year together and an intimate performance at the Faena Theater in Miami Beach.

If you’re into K-pop and Latin music, SANTOS BRAVOS might just be on your checklist of groups to check out. Starting their journey through the survival-style show SANTOS BRAVOS – LA SERIE, the group brought together five members from different countries: Drew, Alejandro, Gabi, Kauê, and Kenneth. They officially made their debut with “0%” on October 21, 2025.

Since then, their music has brought together a mixture of Latin sounds and influences. Their tracks include “KAWASAKI,” a Latin pop track, and “VELOCIDADE,” a Brazilian funk track. Their music does a really good job of capturing the different Latin flavors within the group while mixing in some of those K-pop elements you might already be familiar with.

And if you venture through K-pop, you may have noticed Latin sounds becoming more present in the music being produced lately.

You have K-pop groups like ATEEZ leaning into Latin influences with recent releases like “BAD” and “MAMACITA,” while groups like CLOSE YOUR EYES and P1Harmony have released Spanish versions of tracks like “POSE” and “EX.” And collaborations between K-pop and Latin artists aren’t exactly new either, with artists like Sebastián Yatra, Becky G, Reik, Guaynaa, and more.

There’s a bridge connecting the two more and more as K-pop continues to expand globally, and SANTOS BRAVOS are helping bring those worlds even closer through their own music and collaborations.

“KAWASAKI” received a remix with global Japanese group &TEAM, while SANTOS BRAVOS joined BOYNEXTDOOR for a remix of their track “VIRAL.” The group was also featured on a version of LE SSERAFIM’s “BOOMPALA,” a track that samples “Macarena.”

Since their debut, SANTOS BRAVOS have been booked and busy, taking on stages across Latin America and the United States, including the K-pop stage at KCON LA 2026.

With each stage, you can see the consistent growth the group has made and, most importantly, how much they actually enjoy being on stage. They take on each performance with the same energy as if it were their first. Their fandom has been dedicated to supporting them along the way, and between their charismatic, funny personalities and the group’s chemistry together, it honestly makes it effortless to want to keep watching them grow.

And without a doubt, where there’s Latin flavor, there’s a party.

Their Billboard Latin Music Week stage will probably be no exception.
