Puerto Rican artist Pink Pablo was one of the hottest conversation topics before, during and after SXSW. With an exciting combination of trap and indie rock, one he calls “rebel music with a glaze of pop”, Pink Pablo has slowly put himself at the forefront of an ongoing revolution in Latin music: one that combines the rhythms and themes of música urbana with the sounds of modern pop and alternative.
Pink Pablo had several performances throughout SXSW. The most notable one being an opener for Peso Pluma and Young Miko at the sold-out Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase. And while I was not able to see him perform at the Moody Theater, I was able to catch Pink Pablo at the Radio Day Stage in Ballroom A as part of KEXP’s El Sonido Showcase. And I’m so glad I got the opportunity.
