Xavi Launching First Trek in the U.S., the 2024 Poco A Poco Tour, in March

Little by little, Xavi is embracing the touring life…

The 19-year-old Mexican American Regional Mexican singer-songwriter and breakout star will hit the road with the 2024 Poco A Poco Tour, his first trek in the U.S.

XaviXavi is set to kick off the 24-date stint on March 28, starting with two stops in Mexico.

On April 2, he begins his American stint in Los Angeles at the Roxy Theatre, making stops in Seattle, Portland, Phoenix and Las Vegas and wrapping up in San Antonio on May 12.

The “La Diabla” singer is also slated to perform at Sueños Music Festival in Chicago on May 25.

The tour announcement comes on the heels of Xavi’s rapid rise in the music industry due to his signature tumbados románticos.

Xavi signed with Interscope Records in 2021, and in 2023, he released a summer EP titled My Mom’s Playlist — a tribute to his mother that features covers of Latin pop and rock en Español classics she loved — reflects his deep-rooted family values.

At the end of December, Xavi debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 with not one, but two entries: “La Diabla” and “La Víctima,” which have since peaked at No. 22 and No. 55, respectively.

His global appeal is further evidenced by his presence on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, with “La Diabla” reaching the top five on both.

He’s also spent eight weeks atop Billboard’s Latin Songwriters due to songs like “La Diabla” and previously released singles including “La Víctima,” “Poco a Poco” with Dareyes De La Sierra and “Modo DND” with Tony Aguirre.

Earlier this year, Xavi signed with WME for global representation in all areas.

Pre-sale tickets go live Wednesday (Feb. 7) via Seated.com. Public on-sale for tickets will be available on Friday, February 9 through Xavi’s official website.

Alejandra Guzman Releases Confessional Power Ballad “Lado Oscuro”

 

Alejandra Guzmán is facing her dark side…

The 52-year-old Mexican musician, singer, composer and actress comes face-to-face with her demons in her newly released single “Lado Oscuro,” a confessional power ballad that finds her as vulnerable as ever.

Alejandra Guzmán

“We all have that side, the dark side. Even the moon has a dark side,” the Mexican rock icon tells Billboard. “[In ‘Lado Oscuro’] I am talking about myself and what I’ve learned in life. I am talking about making peace with my own demons instead of taking care of them or hiding them.”

Known for her anthemic rock en español tracks like “Eternamente Bella” and “Mala Hierba” and characterized by her hoarse vocals and fierce, rebellious attitude, Guzmán is set to release a new album this year. Without revealing much, she previews it will stay true to her “old sound with a new Alejandra” twist.
