Hybe Latin America and Telemundo present Pase a La Fama, a first-of-its-kind music competition seeking Mexico’s next global music sensation.
Telemundo and Hybe Latin America are joining forces for the first time on Spanish-language television to present Pase a La Fama, an innovative music competition premiering Sunday, June 8 at 9PM ET. The reality series brings together aspiring musicians in a high-stakes journey filled with raw talent, bold reshuffles, thrilling concerts, and emotional eliminations.
Hundreds have auditioned, but only 55 will be selected to join the rigorous artistic camp. In the end, a select few will become members of the winning band and claim the $100,000 prize, along with a recording contract with Hybe Latin America. The show will be available on the Telemundo app and will stream the following day on Peacock.
“We are proud to partner with Hybe Latin America on a multi-faceted journey to showcase the importance of music to Latin audiences throughout the US,” said Javier Pons, Chief Content Officer and Head of Telemundo Studios. “With Pase a La Fama, music fans will witness first hand the energy, identity, and dreams of this new generation of talented musicians looking to ‘make it’ in today’s highly competitive music industry.”
“Pase a La Fama is a love letter to the power of music and the creative process behind building something unforgettable,” said Isaac Lee, Chairman, Hybe Latin America. “From the roots of our artists to the global reach of our vision, this series shows what’s possible when talent and opportunity collide.”
The show features original music created by Latin music titan Edgar Barrera, winner of 21 Latin Grammys and the mind behind hits for Karol G, Maluma, Bad Bunny, and Grupo Frontera. The theme song, also written and produced by Barrera, features a key musical collaboration that brings to life an anthem about chasing dreams and overcoming the odds.
The panel of judges will include three influential figures in regional Mexican music: Ana Barbara, iconic singer, actress, and advocate for female empowerment in music; Adriel Favela, Mexican-American singer-songwriter known for blending traditional sounds with modern storytelling; and Horacio Palencia, renowned songwriter with over 6.4 billion streams and 50 BMI Awards. As the judges seek to create the perfect band, Pase a La Fama will also feature collaborations with other popular musical stars, which will be announced soon.
Throughout the competition, contestants will be mentored at the bootcamp where they will train, perform, and face challenges in each episode until the winners are crowned and receive their coveted prize. Pase a La Fama is produced by Exile Content Studio for Telemundo, under the executive production of Francisco “Cisco” Suarez, EVP Primetime Unscripted and Specials with Macarena Moreno as Executive Producer for Telemundo, and Hybe Latin America, under the executive production of Juan Arenas and JH Kah.
