The program aims to form a fresh Mexican band, featuring over 55 contestants from various backgrounds who will join the ‘Pase a la Fama’ artist camp. There, they will face rigorous training and fierce competition, all in pursuit of a spot in the final lineup.
The winner will not only receive a $100,000 cash prize but also a highly sought-after recording contract with HYBE Latin America. The series will shine a spotlight on the talents of some of Latin music’s biggest stars, with Edgar Barrera — a 21-time Latin Grammy winner — serving as the executive music producer. Barrera will create the show’s theme song as well as original tracks for the contestants.
The judging panel will feature three prominent figures in the Latin music industry: iconic singer and actress Ana Bárbara, genre-defying artist Adriel Favela, and renowned songwriter Horacio Palencia. Together, they will work to discover hidden talent and uncover the next great stars.
Isaac Lee, Chairman of HYBE Latin America, described ‘Pase a la Fama’ as a “love letter” to the power of music and the creative process behind producing something unforgettable. He emphasized that the show will showcase the magic that happens when raw talent meets the right opportunities.
Javier Pons, CCO and head of Telemundo Studios, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are proud to partner with HYBE Latin America on a multifaceted journey to showcase the importance of music to Latin audiences throughout the U.S. ‘Pase a la Fama’ will allow music fans to experience firsthand the energy, identity, and dreams of this new generation of musicians who are determined to succeed in today’s fiercely competitive music industry.”
Expect thrilling performances, unique challenges, and plenty of surprises as the contestants train, perform, and tackle new obstacles in each episode. ‘Pase a la Fama’ promises to offer fans an engaging and captivating glimpse into the journey of aspiring stars.
