This Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month, SiriusXM and Pandora are celebrating the Latinx and Hispanic stars making an impact on music today with new stations, programming and events focused on uplifting the sounds of their culture. We are proud to support the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Annual Leadership Conference! Check out the conference conversations we had with Latin artists Danny Felix and Mariah Angeliq. To celebrate the month, Pandora also launched its new Satélites station highlighting the discovery of the next generation of musical innovators who are influencing the direction of contemporary Latin urban and popular music and will host an exclusive Pandora LIVE El Pulso event featuring a performance from 5 time Latin GRAMMY-winning artist J Balvin. Tune in to SiriusXM for a broad array of exclusive special programming honoring the histories, cultures, and contributions of artists and celebrities of Latinx and Hispanic descent across our music, talk, comedy, and kids channels, including a celebration of Mexican Independence Day with Los Dos Carnales and a new monthly series with Becky G, “Las Poderosas,” which is dedicated to the Latina artists leading the Latin music movement.
