Arlene Martinez (aka La Colora) is one of the leading influencers in the Latin music space. Her insightful understanding of Latin urban music industry, consumer taste and the evolution of the genre have made her a respected voice in that music field. Not surprisingly, she is on first name basis and holds social media conversations with the leading figures of reggaeton. During her stay in Los Angeles, she witnessed the evolution of the genre and covered Calibash from its inception to the last edition, now the leading urban music concert in that city. Living in Los Angeles allowed her to expand into other entertainment fields but music has always been her passion.
Now residing in Colorado, her voice continues to be a bicoastal force with national presence. Being a mother of millennial children and a military spouse, she is uniquely experienced and has had relationships with various brands and companies.
Colombian-American ¿Téo? is ready to make his Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival debut April 14 & 21, following his headlining “Sol & Luna” North American tour.

¿Téo? previously released Final Step, A Mi Cama and InThe Essence, all part of his forthcoming album Luna, the sister album to his previously released and critically acclaimed Sol. Luna aims to bridge the Americas with intentional mixtures of American and Spanish cultures. The singles have drawn attention from, among others, NPR, Rolling Stone and Consequence who called “A Mi Cama” a “smooth, bouncy…an alluring, pulsing offering that would feel right at home in a dimly-lit club.”
Bilingual and growing up between two distinct cultures, ¿Téo? released his debut single, Uno Dos, in 2017. He followed up his independently released sophomore album, Sol, by going on the road supporting Justin Bieber on his 40+ date Justice tour. Since the launch of his musical career ¿Téo? has garnered millions of listeners on streaming platforms and continues to grow his audiences through sold-out headline shows on both coasts.
