Remezcla & Fania Revive Latin Music Legacy with Vegas Pop-Up & Remix Collaboration

Las Vegas, NV – November 10, 2025 – As Latin Grammy Week ignites Las Vegas, My Code’s Remezcla Studios is partnering with legendary label Fania Records to offer a unique collision of legacy and innovation. The collaboration centers around an exclusive pop-up recording studio and the creation of a remix album designed to bridge generations of Latin music artists. The initiative, revealed this week, aims to spotlight both established icons and emerging talents during the industry's biggest week.

A Legacy Reimagined

Founded in 1964, Fania Records played a pivotal role in popularizing salsa music globally. Now under the Concord Music umbrella, the label is actively working to reinvigorate its catalog and reach new audiences. The partnership with Remezcla Studios reflects this strategy, offering a platform to connect Fania’s rich history with contemporary sounds.

“Fania has an incredible archive, but staying relevant requires constant innovation,” explained a source familiar with the partnership. “This isn’t just about dusting off old recordings; it's about finding new ways to tell the story of salsa and Latin music to a new generation.”

The core of the collaboration is a two-day pop-up recording studio located at a premier Las Vegas resort (specific location not disclosed). Featuring a carefully curated roster of artists, including Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban soul singer Dayme Arocena, Chilean musician Gepe, and rising urbano star Villano Antillano, the studio will serve as a hub for collaboration and creativity. The sessions will be captured in a five-minute mini-documentary for Remezcla's platforms, aiming to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and the connection between artists.

Bridging Generations Through Remixes

Beyond the live recording sessions, the partnership will culminate in the creation of a “Fania Remix Album.” The project will see a selection of contemporary artists reinterpret classic Fania tracks, infusing them with modern production techniques and sensibilities.

“The remix album is a way to honor the past while looking toward the future,” stated another source close to the project. “We’re taking these iconic songs and giving them a fresh perspective, introducing them to a new generation of listeners who might not otherwise discover them.”

The strategy aligns with Fania's overall approach under Concord Music, which focuses on leveraging its extensive catalog while embracing new technologies and platforms. The remix project is also in line with a broader trend in the music industry, where artists are increasingly collaborating across genres and generations.

Navigating a Crowded Landscape

Latin Grammy Week is notoriously competitive, with numerous events vying for the attention of artists, industry professionals, and fans. The official week includes the Special Awards Ceremony, the Person of the Year Gala, and the Latin Grammy Awards themselves. Numerous unofficial parties and events also pop up around the main awards.

“It’s a busy week, there’s no doubt about it,” noted a music industry observer. “You have to do something truly unique to stand out from the crowd.”

The Remezcla/Fania collaboration appears to be positioning itself as exactly that – a blend of exclusivity, creativity, and legacy that appeals to both established artists and emerging talents. The intimate setting of the pop-up studio, combined with the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most exciting names in Latin music, offers a compelling draw for those seeking authentic connection and creative inspiration.

Spotlight on the Artists

The artist roster for the pop-up studio reflects a diverse range of genres and backgrounds. Dayme Arocena, fresh off a Grammy nomination and a standout performance at the 2024 Latin Grammys, brings a contemporary sound rooted in Afro-Cuban traditions. Puerto Rican urbano artist Villano Antillano, a pioneer of queer representation in the genre, adds a cutting-edge sensibility. Chilean musician Gepe, celebrating 20 years since his debut album, brings a blend of folklore, pop, and rock. Carin Leon, a major force in Música Mexicana, and rising stars like Maria Becerra, are also slated to participate.

“The goal is to create a dynamic environment where these artists can inspire each other and push the boundaries of Latin music,” said a source involved in artist selection. “We wanted a mix of established names and emerging talents who are all pushing the envelope in their respective genres.”

Looking Ahead

The Remezcla/Fania collaboration represents a compelling example of how legacy brands can stay relevant in a rapidly evolving music landscape. By embracing innovation, fostering collaboration, and prioritizing authentic connection, the partnership is poised to make a significant impact during Latin Grammy Week and beyond. The resulting remix album is expected to be released in early 2026, offering a unique snapshot of the creative energy generated during this exclusive event. The mini-documentary series will follow shortly after, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album and the artists involved. It's a strategic move by both partners, signaling a commitment to preserving the rich legacy of Latin music while simultaneously paving the way for its future.
