“Only on its second consecutive year, the fest, nestled on the glistening beach of Rosarito, Mexico, has managed to become a player on the global festival scene” – Billboard

“Baja Beach Fest Was a Game-Changing Showcase of Latinx Excellence” – Vice

“If you’ve heard anything about Baja Beach Fest — the reggaeton and Latin hip-hop festival coming to Rosarito, Mexico’s historic Papas & Beer this weekend — you know this: It’s a party. Like a big, wild, sprawling, bucket-list rager. And while other festivals seek to widen their reach by bringing in digital artists, broadening the genres they focus on, or adding in a health component, Baja Beach Fest is staying true to its identity.” – UPROXX

“…the sold-out show is already a success: Ozuna and Bad Bunny are among the two-dozen acts scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday in this coastal resort town about 30 minutes south of the border.” – LA Times

The Aftermovie:

Bringing some of music’s biggest stars to a Mexican beachside town for an unforgettable weekend, 2019’s Baja Beach Fest was a major moment in Latin Trap & Reggaeton history. Taking the time to commemorate the sold-out festival and pay tribute to the artists and attendees who made it happen, Baja Beach Fest shares its 2019 Aftermovie. With a soundtrack of hits by fest headliners Bad Bunny, Ozuna, and J Balvin, the 2019 Aftermovie captures the unique vibe and unbeatable spectacle that made the Rosarito Beach, MX festival such a success. The four-minute video shows off performances by artists such as Becky G, Nicky Jam, and Brytiago, as well as cinematic clips of fireworks and massive crowds; but the most memorable moments of the video focus on individual fans, predominantly Latin, hailing from both sides of the US/Mexico border, and having the time of their lives.

Providing a breezy and beautiful beach weekend full of the best in urban latin music, Baja Beach Fest is one of a kind. Founded by Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia in 2018, Baja Beach Fest is well on its way to becoming an institution in Rosarito and the music industry at large.

The Background:

When Ozuna and Mark B sang “El día está pa’ playa y arena, la vamos a pasar muy bien” in 2016, they very well may have been foreseeing the launch of the Baja Beach Fest two years later. After a remarkable inaugural year,  Baja Beach Fest is back for its sophomore year, celebrating the Latin community, beach vibes, and young Latin trap/reggaeton music. The first and only festival of its kind –– Baja Beach Fest Fest is held on the sand of the oceanfront resort of Rosarito, creating an all-encompassing experience of music and coastal feels. It was imagined into existence by two friends, Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia, and dedicated to the local community who wanted to bring the world’s most streamed artists together for a weekend of music. In 2019, the sold-out festival expanded to two days and 30,000 tickets, boasting headlining performances from Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Becky G, and the first-ever festival appearance by Ozuna.
