Santo Domingo.- The businessman Santiago Matías (Alofoke), will be present at the next edition of the Billboard Latin Music Week 2025, one of the most important events in the Spanish music industry, which will be held from October 20 to 24 at the Fillmore Miami Beach.
The renowned producer and CEO of Alofoke Media Group, an icon of urban culture in the Caribbean, was confirmed as one of the featured participants of the meeting.
The announcement was made through the event’s official social media: “RD in the house! 🇩🇴🇩🇴 Don’t miss @alofoke at the biggest week in Latin music”, sparking enthusiasm among its followers and in the music community.
The event coincides with the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2025, which will be broadcast on Thursday, October 23rd on Telemundo and Peacock.
Alofoke’s participation represents a sum of golden points for Dominican communication and entertainment.
Recognized as the creator of influential spaces, his presence on this international platform consolidates his role as a key figure in promoting urban talent, popular culture, and the Dominican narrative to the world.
Billboard Latin Week will bring together artists, executives, producers, and content creators in a series of panels, exclusive presentations, and conversations about the future of Latin music. Alofoke’s participation symbolizes the recognition of the Dominican urban movement as a constantly growing global phenomenon.
Dominicans at Billboard Latin Music Week
Although the Dominican Republic has been present through the musical impact of its artists, few Dominicans are formally invited to this event. In previous years, Tokischa was a prominent panelist for her disruptive proposal, and figures like El Alfa have been recognized by the Billboard platform.
Now, with the inclusion of Alofoke, the value of digital and media content created from the Dominican Republic is recognized, paving the way for future generations of communicators, creators, and cultural entrepreneurs.

Among the names joining the star-studded list are also, Anuel AA, Guaynaa, Ela Taubert, Humberto “Humby” Viana, Julio Reyes Copello, Leo Rojas from “Escuela de Nada”, Molusco, Óscar Maydon, Pablo Alborán, Silvana Estrada, Xavi and Yami Safdie, with more talents to be announced soon.
The artists announced above include Carín León, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Goyo, Grupo 5, Kapo, Laura Pausini, Luis R. Conriquez, Myke Towers, Netón Vega, Ozuna, and Venesti.
“This year’s edition promises to be the most extensive to date, with carefully crafted panels and immersive opportunities that reflect the dynamic growth of Latin music and culture in the heart of Miami Beach,” said Leila Cobo, director of Latin and Spanish content at Billboard.
