Duetti x Billboard: Wynwood Comes Alive for Latin Music Week
Miami Became the Capital of Latin Music and Duetti Celebrated It with a Party That Merged Art, Luxury, and Serious Industry Muscle.
October 20th, 2025
Hey, it’s Noah Torres with South Florida Insider, bringing you deeper into the pulse of Miami’s nightlife, culture, and exclusive access. This time the spotlight was on Wynwood, which came alive with beats, bites, and creative minds thanks to Duetti, a cutting-edge music investment platform for independent and emerging artists, in collaboration with Billboard for a night that captured the essence of Latin Music Week.

Imagine stepping into a private loft in Wynwood, city lights spilling through floor-to-ceiling windows, handcrafted cocktails in hand, music pulsing from every corner, and a room full of tastemakers, artists, and global influencers vibing together. That was the atmosphere inside Dante’s HiFi, which transformed into a playground for the culturally curious and luxury-leaning crowd.
Latin Music Week was in full swing and this celebration was only one highlight in a stacked schedule of panels, installations, afterparties, celebrity appearances, and the Billboard Latin Music Awards. This year’s awards dominated prime-time ratings across all networks and featured electric performances from Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Grupo Frontera. Miami has become the global center for Latin music and Duetti’s invitation-only gathering mirrored that momentum.
The Scene
Guests were welcomed with a cheeseburger from Celia’s Burgers and three signature cocktails, each with a playful Latin twist. My pick was El Ritmo, a rum and coke that matched the flow of DJ MUTIS, whose Latin-infused sets kept the energy high throughout the night.
Dante’s HiFi carried the feel of an intimate loft party. It was stylish but not intimidating and filled with established creatives mixing with up-and-coming talent. The exterior corridor created perfect photo-op lighting while the inside offered a warm hum of conversation, music, and movement.
Meet the Team Behind Duetti
Duetti positions itself as both a platform and a launchpad for artists who want to scale globally. I spoke with Lior Tibon, Founder and CEO and formerly the COO of TIDAL, whose vision combines artist discovery with data-driven music investment.
His executive team brings depth and variety.
Charles O’Neill, Head of Sourcing and Portfolio Operations Lead.
Alexa Disney, A&R and Studio Lead whose career spans from burning CDs in middle school to producing metaverse concerts with Snoop Dogg and Charli XCX.
Kevin Eiroa, a Miami-based A&R with more than fourteen years shaping artists from CNCO to Zion & Lennox.
GaBrieL BIJOS, a Brazilian artist and manager with strong ties across the Latin music landscape.
Even the marketing vision stood out under the guidance of Angelo Sasso, who curated a private lounge that felt more like a creative incubator than a typical industry room. It reflected Duetti’s mission to be a home for collaboration, innovation, and opportunities that extend far beyond a single night.
Spotlight on Rising Talent
While the evening centered on Latin music, Duetti’s broader roster of rising talent turned plenty of heads.
Able Heart stood out with empowering lyrics, eclectic visuals, and a signature presence that commands attention. Other emerging names under the Duetti umbrella include Kevin Jz Prodigy, Brent Morgan, and A-WALL, each supported through targeted strategies designed to help artists expand their global footprint.
Duetti isn’t simply a place for artists to perform. It is a system that supports creative development, marketing, distribution, catalog monetisation, and meaningful networking. Artists need to generate at least two thousand dollars annually in music-rights income to qualify for a deal. Once on board, they gain access to the tools and pathways necessary to grow an international audience.
Why This Night Matters
Latin music continues to gain remarkable traction. According to the RIAA, revenue reached four hundred ninety point three million dollars in the first half of 2025 and positioned Latin as the second fastest-growing genre in the United States. Companies like Duetti are not just discovering talent. They are shaping the next wave of global stars while also creating cultural investment opportunities for those who recognize where the industry is headed.

For guests, this gathering offered more than a good time. It provided a close-up look at a fast-expanding market and early access to artists who may soon define the sound and direction of the genre.
The Takeaway
By the end of the night Wynwood felt like a perfect snapshot of Miami’s creative edge. Luxury met culture. Music met opportunity. Industry insight met emerging talent. The Duetti x Billboard event reminded everyone in the room that Miami is not only a backdrop for Latin music. It is a launchpad for what comes next.
If you missed this one, keep an eye on the calendar. The buzz, the beats, and the collaborative energy are well worth experiencing firsthand.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
