Food, fun and tons of amazing music. Hey, it’s Tetris Kelly with Billboard News. We’re at Houston, Livestock Show and Rodeo. We’re taking you up close and personal with your favorite artists. Thanks to Spotify, Billboard has all the access.
The Houston Rodeo draws millions of people from all over the world with food, games and so much entertainment. In its 92nd year, the Rodeo is the hottest event in Houston. With daily musical acts, there’s something for everyone. And I’m right here on the floor at the NRG Stadium where your favorite artists are about to take the stage. Música Mexicana was well represented with acts like Ivan Cornejo.
Ivan Cornejo:
My first show was here in Houston. Half the crowd was my family and the other 12 people, you know, just fans. It feels nice to just come back two years later and just do the Houston Rodeo which was insane for me. It’s a beautiful feeling. Houston has always showed me so much love.
Tetris Kelly:
Spotify has got the fiesta in full force here at the Rodeo. Their activation at the Houston Rodeo brought authentic Mexican culture to the forefront. The La Tierra De Texas space celebrated Tejano culture with bumping tunes from Spotify’s Rompiendo: Houston playlist, air fresheners and two free months of Spotify Premium. Go Tejano Day was the epicenter of Mexican pride, highlighting the greatness of Música Mexicana. Los Tigres Del Norte made their big return breaking their own attendance record with 75,595 fans of the stadium.
Los Tigres Del Norte:
We broke our own record today. It feels fantastic. It feels very emotional. This is the fifth time that we’ve come here in Houston. Next time that you come here we want to prepare a better show for them. This is our responsibility.
