Bad Bunny Pays Tribute to Late Chilean Protest Singer Víctor Jara & More Uplifting Moments in Latin Music.

Latin music fans were left with chills when Bad Bunny paid a poignant tribute to late Chilean protest singer Víctor Jara at his recent world tour stop in Santiago. The legendary Estadio Nacional, once used as a detention and torture center during Augusto Pinochet's brutal dictatorship, was the venue for this emotional moment. One of Bad Bunny's musicians played an instrumental version of Jara's protest anthem "El Derecho de Vivir en Paz" on the mandolin, which has become a symbol of resistance and survival in Chilean history.

The crowd joined in to sing the lyrics, creating a powerful show of solidarity with the iconic singer who was murdered in 1973 during Pinochet's regime. This tribute is not only a nod to Jara's legacy but also serves as a reminder of the struggle for social justice that continues to resonate in Latin America.

In other uplifting news from the Latin music world, Xavi kicked off the second leg of his U.S. X Tour with a sold-out performance at the San Jose Civic in California. The tour has already packed major venues nationwide and coincides with Xavi's growing dominance in Latin music, bolstered by seven Premio Lo Nuestro nominations, an iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination, and continued success with recent singles like "En Privado" with Manuel Turizo and "No Capea" alongside Grupo Frontera.

The tour will continue through Seattle, Wheatland, Calif., and conclude in Las Vegas at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on Jan. 30. For more dates and tickets, visit livenation.com.

Additionally, the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation has announced the addition of two new scholarships for 2026, supported by the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami and Gibson Gives. The Frost School of Music scholarship will provide financial aid ranging from $32,000 to $250,000 to at least one talented student passionate about Latin music, covering tuition and additional support for a four-year bachelor's degree.

Gibson Gives will fund three tuition assistance scholarships, providing additional support for music students while gifting each recipient a guitar or bass. Applications for the Frost scholarship are due by Feb. 17, and for the Gibson scholarships by April 10 at latingrammyculturalfoundation.org.

😒 I think it's super lame that Bad Bunny only paid tribute to Víctor Jara in Santiago 🤷‍♂️. What about all the other Latin American artists who've been fighting for social justice and resisting dictatorships? Like, where's the love for Simón Díaz or María Nieves Solís? Those guys were also super brave and influential, but I guess they're not as "cool" as Víctor Jara 🤷‍♂️. And what about all the other artists who are making great Latin music right now? Like Xavi is killing it on his tour 🎸, but do we ever get to hear him play live in smaller venues like, say, a tiny club in LA or something? Noooo, it's all sold-out shows and major festivals 🙄.
