Corridos, banda, norteño, sierreño and the wider Latin scene are some of the fastest-growing music in the world, and Los Angeles sits right at the center of it. A lot of these artists fund their own promotion, so knowing where to spend matters. This is our guide to where regional Mexican and Latin artists can submit music, where the press is, and how to pitch.
The short version: pitch Latin curators through Groover and SubmitHub, use the free Spotify for Artists editorial pitch, submit directly to outlets like Remezcla, La Opinión and The LA Note, and pitch 4–6 weeks before release in English and Spanish.
En resumen: envía tu música a curadores latinos en Groover y SubmitHub, usa el pitch editorial gratuito de Spotify for Artists, y escribe directamente a medios como Remezcla, La Opinión y The LA Note de 4 a 6 semanas antes del lanzamiento.

2. Outlets that cover regional Mexican and Latin artists
The LA Note
That’s us. The LA Note is a Los Angeles entertainment magazine publishing long-form features and interviews with rising artists in music and entertainment. LA’s regional Mexican and Latin scene is part of the city’s story, and we want to tell yours. To pitch us, go to thelanote.com/submit.
More Latin outlets worth pitching
- Remezcla — Latino culture and music, with a long history of spotlighting new artists.
- La Opinión — Los Angeles’ Spanish-language daily newspaper, covering entertainment and local artists.
- mitú — Latino culture and entertainment for a young U.S. audience.
- Rolling Stone en Español — Spanish-language music coverage. A stretch goal that usually needs a publicist or label.
- Billboard Latin — the industry trade’s Latin section. Coverage usually comes through label or publicist relationships.
3. Radio and charts
- Monitor Latino tracks radio and digital plays across the U.S. and Latin America. Ask any radio promoter which charts they report to.
- Regional radio is local. Spanish-language stations in LA, Texas, Arizona and the Central Valley each have their own program directors. A promoter with real relationships matters more than a big list.
- Press supports radio: a feature gives your promoter and booking agent something credible to share.
4. How to pitch so you actually get featured
- Pitch in both languages. A short English pitch with a Spanish line (or the reverse) widens who can cover you.
- Lead with the story: where your family is from, how the group formed, what the song is about.
- Show momentum: live shows, streaming growth or a viral moment, in one line.
- Use a private streaming link and keep it under 150 words.
- Bring professional photos, including one horizontal shot for web headers.
