Omar Apollo and Latin Mafia Release 'Hecho Para Ti' Single and Video

WHAT'S THE STORY?

What's Happening?

Grammy-nominated artist Omar Apollo has collaborated with the alt-pop trio Latin Mafia to release a new Spanish-language single titled 'Hecho Para Ti' ('Made For You'). The single is co-produced by Tyler Spry, known for his work with Bad Bunny, and features a nostalgic, VHS-style music video directed by Aidan Cullen. The video, filmed at the iconic Salón Tropicana in Mexico City, explores the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The song was first performed live at Latin Mafia's concert in Mexico City on July 5, where Apollo made a surprise appearance. Latin Mafia, consisting of brothers Milton, Emilio, and Mike de la Rosahas, has experienced a breakout year since signing with Rimas Entertainment in 2024, launching their first North American tour, 'Te Odio y Te Extraño Mucho' ('I Hate and Miss You So Much'). The tour includes 38 cities, with 17 sold-out shows in the United States and 14 in Mexico, and will conclude at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago on August 3.
