As the global appetite for Latin music continues to swell, a wave of impactful cultural and visual storytelling in the form of short films has emerged. So far in 2024, Latin artists across multiple Spanish-language subgenres have turned to audiovisual media to effectively enhance their stories, songs and overall artistic ethos.
This phenomenon is evident in productions ranging from Bizarrap’s artificial intelligence dilemma, BZRP.ia, to the multi-faceted and theatrical presentation of Nathy Peluso’s latest album, Grasa. There is also the captivating exploration of Tijuana in Todos Los Caminos Conducen al Hipódromo Agua Caliente (All Roads Lead to the Agua Caliente Racetrack) by music producer Espectro Caudillo — who directed the film under the stage name Gallo Fortuna — where somber electronic music meets the dark mystique of the border city. These films act as windows into the artists’ world, bridging the gap between sonic expression and cinematic narrative.
Our curated selection also includes notable works by Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amorosa (Baño María), and Apple’s short film ¡Suerte! shot on iPhone 15 Pro — featuring regional Mexican prodigy Ivan Cornejo, which showcases a diverse range of approaches and visions. In addition, we give an honorable mention to SoundCloud’s short documentary, Scenes: Música Mexicana, featuring Mexican-American talents such as Xavi, DannyLux, Ivan Cornejo, and Conexión Divina.
This list aims to highlight five of the best Latin music short films we have seen so far in 2024. Check out our varied selection, and dive into each of the videos below.
Note: all these short films are under 30 minutes.
