\n\t\t<\/span>t\u2019s early August, and Latin Mafia<\/a> just stepped offstage at Lollapalooza. Even though they\u2019re taking a break at a nearby dining hall, they\u2019re absolutely buzzing with energy. It\u2019s hard to turn that live-wire adrenaline off; they spent the entire set crowd-surfing over screaming fans and inciting mosh pits as they blasted out hyped-up songs from their genre-smashing album, Todos Los D\u00edas Todo el D\u00eda<\/a>.<\/em> The Mexican band, made up of the three de la Rosa brothers, is still feeling it all as they bounce ideas off one another and jump in to complete each other\u2019s thoughts \u2014 living spitballs full of excitement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re a part of a generation that\u2019s maybe not used to mosh pits and crowd-surfing at concerts, so for us, it\u2019s about reviving those types of moments in our shows,\u201d Emilio de la Rosa says. His twin, Milton, chimes in, \u201cOur shows are very energetic to the point that they become physical. It\u2019s like a concert in 4-D to the extent that you can touch us, and what we\u2019re feeling is tangible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEmilio and Milton are both vocalists, and their older brother, Mike, serves as the band\u2019s producer. They\u2019ve become full-fledged stars who also embrace emotion in their songs. \u201cWe aren\u2019t afraid to let ourselves feel everything,\u201d Milton says. <\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s probably what makes their music feel so radical: It subverts genre and sound and instead, it\u2019s shaped by what they\u2019re going through. Todos Los D\u00edas Todo El D\u00eda, <\/em>which dropped last October, reflected the brothers\u2019 brushes with fame and the pressure, frustrations, and anxieties they were going through. That explosion of emotions erupts on the \u201cSiento Que Merezco M\u00e1s\u201d where R&B, EDM, rock, and flamenco collide. The cathartic album came on the heels of their nomination for Best New Artist at last year\u2019s Latin Grammys Awards<\/a>. Rosal\u00eda, Karol G, Feid, and Rauw Alejandro, who enlisted them for \u201c2:12 AM,\u201d have also come out as fans of Latin Mafia.\u00a0All of it is inspiring a new album, expected soon. \u201cWe\u2019re in the process of experiencing new things and enjoying the ride to feel inspired for the next album,\u201d Milton shares.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrowing up in Mexico City, Latin Mafia reflects a generation of musicians who got their start creating music on their laptops at home. During the pandemic, the brothers passed by time by sharing their song-making process on TikTok, which got them a sizable following. Without a label or an album, Latin Mafia soon sold out concerts in Mexico and performed at Coachella off the momentum of their viral hits like the reggaeton Mexa smash \u201cJulietota\u201d and the Humbe-assisted \u201cPatadas de Ahogado.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPart of what draws fervent fans to Latin Mafia is a tight-knit emotional bond. They pair their wild, no-holds-barred shows with real, heartfelt release. The guys share their heaviest moments with fans. During a concert at Mexico City\u2019s Palacio de los Deportes in July, they broke down in tears while revealing that their grandmother had just died. The guys paid tribute to her with \u201cTengo Mucho Ruido,\u201d which includes a voice note from her. \u201cShe\u2019ll be in our fans\u2019 hearts because we included them,\u201d Emilio says.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat bare honesty has made them unafraid to speak up for the Mexican community amid the Trump administration\u2019s inhumane immigration policies. Following the president\u2019s executive order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, the trio wore Patricio Campillo\u2019s El Golfo de M\u00e9xico<\/em> shirts during a concert. \u201cIt\u2019s necessary for those with a platform to raise their voices for the people that are being silenced. That was a form of protest for us.\u201d At festivals, the band has made it a point to bring out a Mexican flag and wave it high. <\/p>\n

\n\tMost important, the band wants to represent where they come from. \u201cWe want to put Mexico on top,\u201d Mike says.<\/p>\n
