During the conversation, he highlighted his time at important stations such as La Mega<\/em> and Univisi\u00f3n<\/em>, <\/strong>and revealed that he currently works at 15 stations between the United States and the Dominican Republic<\/strong>, including his participation in Alofoke Radio Show<\/strong><\/em>.\n\nRegarding his permanence in a constantly changing music industry, DJ Lobo was emphatic:\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe key has been discipline. I get up every day to mix. I upload content to all platforms: SoundCloud, YouTube, my app\u2026 every day, non-stop\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nFurthermore, they shared their stance on the rise of platforms like TikTok and its influence on current commercial music.\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI use TikTok a little, but I send everyone to my app. I have more than 20 million downloads. What matters to me is what works in the club. If a song doesn’t catch on the dance floor, it’s useless\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nDJ Lobo also addressed the evolution of the DJ’s role, contrasting the past with the present:\n\n\n

\n

\u201cBefore we were the ones who made people enjoy, now they call us producers. But it’s still the same: knowing how to read the audience and select the right topic at the right time. Music is what connects, not the lyrics, it’s the beat\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn the conversation, the rise of Dominican music and the impact of dembow and t\u00edpico were also highlighted:\n\n\n

\n

\u201cRight now, Dominicans have it. The typical is above salsa in many places, especially in New York. Digital has pushed a lot, but the flavor is in what makes people move\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nUpon completion, Lobo received a recognition from Alofoke Media Group for his contributions to Latin music and his impact on the Dominican community abroad. During the presentation, emphasis was placed on his role as a pioneer in opening space for urban artists like Bad Bunny, Anuel, and Ozuna when they were still little known.\n\n\n
