MIAMI – April 23, 2025 – For the first time on Spanish-language television, Telemundo and HYBE Latin America present Pase a la Fama, an innovative music competition premiering Sunday, June 8 at 9PM/8C. This groundbreaking reality series format brings together aspiring musicians from all walks of life in a high-stakes journey filled with raw talent, bold reshuffles, thrilling concerts, and emotional eliminations.

In the end, a select few will become members of the winning band and claim the $100,000 prize and a recording contract with HYBE Latin America. Pase a la Fama will also be available on the Telemundo app and stream next day on Peacock.

The show features original music created exclusively by Latin music titan Edgar Barrera—winner of 21 Latin Grammys, 1 Grammy, and the mind behind hits for Karol G, Maluma, Bad Bunny, and Grupo Frontera. The theme song, also written and produced by Barrera, features a key musical collaboration that brings to life a heartfelt anthem about chasing dreams and overcoming the odds.
The panel of judges includes three influential figures in regional Mexican music: Ana Bárbara, iconic singer, actress, and advocate for female empowerment in music; Adriel Favela, Mexican-American singer-songwriter known for blending traditional sounds with modern storytelling; and Horacio Palencia, renowned songwriter with over 6.4 billion streams and 50 BMI Awards.
