When música mexicana star Xavi started working on his debut album, he told Rolling Stone that he had two goals in mind: He said it was “going to be straight corridos, respecting our style,” and that it was his mission to make the album “the best.” If you ask Xavi now, he’ll tell you he achieved both goals.

On Friday, Xavi released his 15-track debut, Next, which hears the singer doing something he calls “fusionizing” the genre with pop sounds — even ska — while staying true to the romantic corrido...

When You Start playing Murio La Musica, a mixtape by Argentinian rappers AgusFortnite2008 and Stiffy, you hear an onslaught of crunchy 808s and incantation-­like chants that ascend through disorienting key changes. As soon as you can catch your breath, Cdj backspins and menacing laughter throw you into what feels like the world’s most sinister Shepard tone.

The mixtape’s opening song, “24/7,” is almost an entirely different form of music, beamed in from another dimension.

The upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe reboot has added its second major cast member, with Riverdale alum Camila Mendes set to play the key role of Teela.

THR reports that Mendes will join Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man. West Side Story actor Kyle Allen was previously attached to play the muscle-bound hero.

Teela has been a permanent fixture of the Motu franchise ever since those first mini-comics, and is usually depicted as Prince Adam's protector and He-Man's right-hand woman/love-interest.

The character was played by Chelsea Field in the previous live-action movie, and was voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar in Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series before being replaced by Melissa Benoist.

Mendes got her big break as Veronica on the Riverdale series, and other recent credits include Upgraded, Música, and Do Revenge. She is also set to play one of the leads in...

But in order to defeat the powerful villain, he needs to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man, referred to in this world as “the most powerful man in the universe.” Teela is a warrior who is responsible for protecting Eternia’s royal family and may or may not become Prince Adam’s romantic interest.

Exclusive: Riverdale star Camila Mendes and Happy Death Day actress Rachel Matthews are opening the doors to Honor Role, a new feature film and TV production company focused on dynamic, character-driven stories crafted by sharp filmmakers with a distinct point-of-view.

Honor Role has partnered with Tricky Knot, a new entertainment financing and development company supporting the next generation of independent, talent-led production companies.

Damien Chazelle’s biggest hit La La Land may have never got to that cherished statuette for Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars ceremony, but it surely started a whole new trend of romantic musical comedies — and they aren’t too saccharine to forget them soon after.

Though the music can take drastically different forms in there giving a helping hand to characters or, quite the contrary, become their biggest rival, it’s still something delightful to spend an evening with, and Prime Video’s recently released high-rated romcom proves it like nothing else.

Released on the platform on April 4, Música, a coming-of-age comedy starring Rudy Mancuso and Camilla Mendes, was quick to conquer critics and viewers’ hearts by landing solid scores of 98% and 87% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes.

Being Mancuso’s directorial debut as well, the movie is based on his own living experience of a street performer with synesthesia, the...

A simple Google search of "the best rom-coms of all time" will take you down a nostalgic hole of '90s and early-'00s movies like "10 Things I Hate About You," "While You Were Sleeping," and "P.S. I Love You." These classics, among many others, have shaped how we view love on screen. But through these films, we've learned what love looks like through white protagonists; many Bipoc communities have failed to see themselves reflected. While we saw Latine actresses like Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina Milian make their mark early on in romantic comedy movies, for years the entertainment industry has undervalued and underrepresented Latine communities on screen and behind the camera.

Camila Mendes is shifting that narrative. You likely recognize her from rom-coms like "Palm Springs," "The Perfect Date," and "The New Romantic" - and she's starring in and serving as an an executive producer for the new rom-com film "Música,...

Key to the ongoing conversations about Latino representation in the U.S. entertainment industry is the need for the diversification of stories, which in turn would breed valuable specificity. Rather than expecting one production to speak strongly to every single subset of the vast Latino community, projects should reflect the unique microcosms and experiences that speak to groups such as Cuban Americans in Florida, Mexican Americans in Los Angeles, or Dominican Americans in New York City.

Enter the multi-hyphenate Rudy Mancuso, whose charmingly inventive and loosely autobiographical feature directorial debut “Música” highlights the Brazilian American community of New Jersey’s Ironbound neighborhood. In addition to starring in the film as a fictionalized version of his younger self, the talented Mancuso — who started out making videos on the now-defunct app Vine before moving on to YouTube and live shows — co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Lagana and, fittingly, also created the integral music.

Rudy Mancuso will tell you that making Música, out now on Prime Video, is one of the “most rewarding experiences” he’s ever had. Mancuso is the semi-autobiographical film’s director, co-writer, composer, and choreographer. He plays a version of himself who is trying to bring harmony to his life while dealing with his family, his complicated love life, synesthesia, and the uncertainty of his future. Mancuso reveals to TV Insider that he knew he wanted to depict his “relationship with sound and music onscreen” from a young age, and he’s never been “more ready” to tell his story. He also found love on set with co-star Camila Mendes. The Riverdale alum plays Isabella, one of Rudy’s love interests. Música is the origin of their own love story. Below, Mancuso opens up about the moment when the line between the film and real life “started to blur,” the...

Música is a “non-musical musical” coming-of-age romantic comedy film co-written and directed by Rudy Mancuso. Based on his personal experiences, the Prime Video film follows the story of a young college student Rudy, who is about to graduate but still doesn’t if he should get a stable job or go after his dream of becoming a puppeteer. He finds himself stuck in a love triangle between his long-time girlfriend who doesn’t understand him and his dreams and a girl he recently met who seems to support his dreams, while also dealing with his overbearing mother who wants him to get himself a Brazilian girlfriend. Música stars Mancuso in the lead role with Camila Mendes, Francesca Reale, J.B. Smoove, and Maria Mancuso starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the charming story and music of Música, here are some similar films you should check out next.

Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso found love while filming their new movie Música together!

The 29-year-old actress and the 32-year-old entertainer met while playing love interests in the film, which Rudy also co-wrote and directed, inspired by his own life.

In a new interview while promoting the movie, the couple shared how their chemistry blended from on-screen to off-screen.

Their chemistry really sparked when they first met at the screen test.

“We have this two-minute silent footage, because there was no audio on the day, this silent footage of us talking and interacting, and we have it all recorded so you can see that there’s this exciting energy and this giddiness,” Camila tells People.

“It’s safe to say there was chemistry from the moment we met and it certainly was visible onscreen,” Rudy added.

“Lines began to blur between Rudy and Isabella and Rudy and Cami,...

It’s a drizzly Mondy morning in New York, and the hotel restaurant I’m sitting in is filled with the sounds of prep work for the day. To me, the tinkling glasses and ringing silverware are easily ignorable, the hodgepodge of clinks and clatters immediately fading into the background. But for writer and director Rudy Mancuso — of Vine and YouTube stardom — there’s a veritable drum line around us, being played bottle by bottle. Actually, it’s the very reason we’re here.

Mancuso is the director and star of Música,...

Música releases on Prime Video on April 4th, 2024.

I don’t know if what I’m about to state next will provoke reactions of shock or total indifference, but Rudy Mancuso was completely unknown to me until I watched Música. I was entirely unfamiliar with his apparently famous work on Vine and YouTube. Personally, Camila Mendes (Do Revenge) was the main ‘attraction’ of this film and who made me sit in front of the television, such is her talent and natural charm, but curiosity peaked when I realized that Mancuso was not only going to act but also direct, write, produce, and compose the score for what’s ultimately a movie based on his life.

Música tells the story of Rudy (Mancuso), a young man who has synesthesia – a perceptual phenomenon where stimulation of one sense leads to involuntary experiences in other senses, such as hearing a sound that evokes...

On the surface, “Música” feels like a very standard story about a talented guy who finds himself caught between two girls he likes, and — rather than be honest with them — starts dating both at the same time. Hilarity ensues. Thankfully, much like the fictional Rudy he plays here, the real Rudy Mancuso is more than meets the eye. His feature directorial debut is a smart and charming coming-of-age love story that is also a musical and such a good cinematic portrayal of synesthesia that it’ll make you forget all about the other, misbegotten attempts to thread the same needle (does anyone remember “August Rush”?).

We are in the era of social media movie directors, but the days of “Fred: The Movie” are thankfully gone. Between Bo Burnham’s “Eighth Grade,” and Danny and Michael Philippou’s “Talk to Me,” YouTube is starting to seem like a viable incubator for worthwhile film directors.

The trailer for Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso‘s upcoming movie Música has finally arrived!

The 29-year-old actress and the 32-year-old entertainer met while working on the film, and started dating afterward.

In addition to starring, Rudy also co-wrote and directed the feature, which is inspired by his real life.

"She's different, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny." Prime Video has revealed the first official trailer for a film titled Música, marking the feature directorial debut of actor / filmmaker Rudy Mancuso. This will be premiering at the upcoming 2024 SXSW Film Festival in March, with a theatrical unveiling, before it launches on streaming on Prime Video in early April for everyone else. Música is a coming-of-age love story that follows an aspiring creator with synesthesia, who must come to terms with an uncertain future, while navigating the pressures of love, family, and his Brazilian culture in Newark, New Jersey.

He lived in Rio de Janeiro for a while and speaks Portuguese fluently, and also really does have synesthesia.

Rudy Mancuso is ready to woo Camila Mendes with his life story, as told through song.

The digital creator makes his big screen debut writing, directing, and starring in “Música,” which charts his own coming-of-age story as an artist with synesthesia.

For most of her career, Camila Mendes has been known as Veronica Lodge. She portrayed the rich, confident high schooler on The CW’s “Riverdale” for six years, appearing in 136 of the 137 episodes before the series wrapped up last year. And now, she’s ready to put that behind her in order to show the world what else she can do.

“I’m sure I will be typecast — I think people are gonna offer me roles based off things that they’ve already seen me do. So it only’s natural that’s what would happen,” she tells Variety.

Which is part of the reason Mendes is attracted to projects she can also produce, and she’s both the star and an executive producer of “Upgraded,” a new romantic comedy that dropped on Amazon Prime Video’s on Feb. 9. In it, Mendes plays Ana, a young art intern who meets...

The Latin music industry has seen massive growth over the last year. In 2022, revenue for these genres exceeded $1 billion for the first time, and it’s continued outpacing other parts of the industry. And Latin music has remained a force on streaming — so much that 2023 seems to be the biggest year for number one Latin hits on Spotify.

Last year at the Grammys, Bad Bunny’s LP Un Verano Sin Ti made history as the first Spanish-language project nominated for Album of the Year, and his song “Moscow Mule” got a nod under Best Pop Solo Performance.

But sadly, it’s back to bad habits this year. No Latin artists appear in the Big Four, despite...

Bad Bunny is back with a new single called “Where She Goes.”

Despite its English title, “Where She Goes” is sung in Spanish. It begins with a dramatic, percussion free intro, on which he sings (translated via Billboard): “Baby, tell me the truth if you forgot about me/ I know it was only one night, that we’re not going to repeat/ In you I wanted to find what I lost in someone else/ Your pride doesn’t want to speak to me, so we’re going to compete.”

After a moment, the track then bursts into an adrenaline-fueled beat drop: “I don’t like to lose, tell me what you’re doing to do,” Bad Bunny then belts.

The accompanying video features brief cameos from Frank Ocean, Lil Uzi Vert, Dominic Fike, soccer star Ronaldinho, and more. Watch it below.

A new trailer for the Netflix black comedy Do Revenge dropped on Tuesday, offering a further glimpse into the bubblegum, sugarcoated world of director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s latest endeavor.

Do Revenge stars Riverdale’s Camila Mendes and Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke as two high school students who’ve had their social lives ruined by their respective loose-lipped exes. In an effort to exact their titular revenge, the pair decide to employ each other to inflict the punishments they’re hesitant to bestow upon their own tormentors. The premise evokes stories like Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers On A Train or the cult dark comedy film Heathers, while the trailer’s aesthetics call to mind recent movies like Promising Young Woman and Ingrid Goes West.

Robinson is best known to date for co-writing Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Taika Waititi, writing and directing the Netflix film Someone Great,...

Don’t mess with Maya.

Maya Hawke leads Netflix dark comedy “Do Revenge” alongside Camila Mendes, about popular high schooler Drea (Mendes) who seeks retaliation against her ex-boyfriend (Austin Abrams of “Euphoria” fame) after a very public sexting scandal. Enter: Eleanor, played by Hawke, who also has a score to settle involving a rumor she tried to “hold down” another classmate and kiss her.

“I know what it’s like to get fucked over by someone you thought you could trust,” Hawke says in the candy-colored trailer reminiscent of “Thoroughbreds.”

She adds of her target, “I want to burn her to the ground.”

Co-written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, “Do Revenge” is billed as a “subverted Hitchcockian dark comedy featuring the scariest protagonists of all: teenage girls.” The film premieres September 16 on Netflix.
