Go Behind the Scenes of Billboard Latin Week With Walmart
Billboard Latin Music Week returned to Miami with a star-studded lineup of more than 70 artists. Over the past 35 years, Latin Music Week has become the one, steady foundation of Latin music in this country, becoming the single most important — and biggest — gathering of Latin artists and industry executives in the world. This year, Walmart joined the celebration of Hispanic heritage, reimagining the backstage lounge where interviews with artists from around the world took place. Check out the pieces featured in the lounge from The Nuevolution Project, created in collaboration with visionary creatives shaping culture.
Wish Me Luck, a Hispanic-led fashion brand from LA, captures the spirit of Dreamers: those who pursue their aspirations while honoring their heritage. Their clothing combines classic casual styles with bold, eye-catching graphics to create pieces you can wear anywhere — and Billboard’s hosts will be wearing them as they sit down with the stars. Add their Workwear Style Jacket and Dreamer’s Win Graphic Tee Shirt to your everyday rotation to add meaningful flair to your wardrobe.
Puerto Rican-American artist, ceramicist, social activist, poet, and educator Roberto Lugo’s contributions to The Nuevolution Project range from home decor to clothing. Lugo’s lively, illustrated patterns are an extension of his art, acknowledging the realities faced by marginalized communities while also celebrating their beauty and creativity. His candles (in Pigeon, Delft, Flowery and Floral designs) are inspired by the ones that are traditional to Hispanic culture – with his own special twist. Mix and match the pieces in your home to bring your culture to life.
Need a pick-me-up? Walmart has you covered. Robert Lugo’s designs bring Hispanic pride to your kitchen, elevating your morning coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Choose between three bold patterns (Pigeon, Delft, and Floral) to bring the comfort of culture to your cup.
