ROA is preparing to trek across the United States.

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Latin urban singer, whose real name is Gilberto Figueroa, has unveiled his first-ever tour in the U.S.

It’s set to take place this fall.

Produced by Zamora Live, ROA will kick off his 19-date stint on October 8 in Miami’s Fillmore Miami Beach and wrap December 12 at Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading, Pennsylvania.

In between, he will visit key cities including Chicago, Houston, New York and Los Angeles.

The live production, which follows his international tour across Latin America and Europe, will “transform the world of his RIAA-certified project Private Suite and his genre-defying sound into an immersive concert experience,” according to a press statement.

A 2026 Billboard Latin Artist to Watch, ROA is pioneering the sultry trapsoul movement with hits such as “ETA” with De La Rose, Luar La L, Omar Courtz & Yan Block; “Fantasía”; and “Netflix and Chill” with Chris Jedi and Anuel AA—all of which have entered the Billboard charts.

“The connection [with my fans] comes from the musicality — because, although these songs share some of my DNA, they are all very different,” he previously told Billboard. “It means that in the last year, my sound has crossed over and is transcending.”

Canal+ Acquires HBO Europe’s “Patria,” Starring Susana Abaitu

Susana Abaitua’s land is expanding…

France’s Canal+ has acquired HBO Europe’s first Spanish original drama, Patria, starring the 29-year-old Spanish actress.

Susana Abaitu

With a narrative that spans more than three decades, Patria tells a story of the Spanish Basque country threatened by the terrorism of the leftist separatist group ETA, as seen through the eyes of two families divided by the violent conflict.

On the day ETA announces a ceasefire, Bittori (Elena Irureta) visits the cemetery where her husband Txato, who was murdered by the terrorists, is buried. She tells him she’s decided to return home to the village where they lived together to try and get closure.

Bittori’s presence in the village causes chaos — enraging Miren (Ane Gabarain), her neighbor, once a close friend, and the mother of Joxe Mari, an imprisoned terrorist and the probable killer of Txato. The rift between the two women and their deeply held convictions make trying to forget impossible. The question is, will they be able to forgive in a community shattered by political fanaticism?

In addition to Abaitua, who portrays Nerea, Irureta and Gabarain, the series also stars Iñigo Arambarri, Mikel Laskurain, Loreto Mauleón and Jon Olivares.

Patria was created and written by Aitor Gabilondo, based on the bestselling novel by Fernando Aramburu.

The series will premiere in HBO Europe’s 21 territories on September 27, while it will be released on the same day in the U.S. on HBO and HBO Max.
