In Colombia, Vallenato star Silvestre Dangond participated in the Latin Grammy In The Schools program on May 14 in Bogotá. The initiative included donating musical instruments to Colegio Enrique Olaya Herrera and Fundación Sendero de Acordeones de Riohacha. Students had the opportunity to meet and converse with Dangond and accordionist José Juan Camilo.

Dangond, a Latin Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, has also supported two Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation research and preservation grants aimed at fostering Colombia’s folkloric music heritage. In a press release, he shared, “I am so proud to be able to support emerging young talent, especially in a country like Colombia, where music is a fundamental part of our identity. I see myself reflected in these students—in their dreams, in their passion—and I hope this experience reminds them that, with dedication and a love for music, anything is possible.”

Another notable achievement came from Colombian pop-urban group Piso 21, who recently entered Spotify’s “Billions Club” for the second time. Their 2018 collaboration with Venezuelan artist Micro TDH, “Te Vi,” surpassed one billion streams on the platform this week. This milestone follows their previous entry into the club in May 2025, when their hit “Déjala Que Vuelva” featuring Manuel Turizo reached the same streaming milestone.

Piso 21’s lead vocalist, Pablo Mejía, expressed to Billboard Español, “We’re so happy with our second song in the Billions Club. It’s a testament from the people motivating us to keep making music. The truth is, when you make songs that stand the test of time, that’s what we live for. We make songs for that—not to be a trend but to last forever—and we feel very fortunate to achieve that.”

Venezuelan artist Micro TDH celebrated the accomplishment by posting a heartfelt message on Instagram: “I always dreamed of achieving this. Today, 8 years after this song, we’ve finally entered Venezuela’s One Billion Club. Thank you @piso21, I love you so much, my brothers. Thanks for believing. And to everyone who has listened to ‘Te Vi,’ ONE BILLION THANK YOU’S.” The post featured a photo of him as a child holding a sign reading, “From Mérida to the World.”

As the Latin music industry continues to thrive with inspiring collaborations, milestone achievements, and community engagement programs, the week offered a powerful reminder of music’s ability to unite and uplift diverse audiences worldwide.

For those eager to stay updated on the latest in the Latin music scene, these events exemplify the dynamic spirit and cultural richness that define the genre today.
