When Mexican pop group Rbd wrapped its historic reunion tour last year, Dulce María had two priorities: recovering her “mental stability” after 54 back-to-back stadium shows and writing and recording solo music again. On Thursday, the pop star announced that she’s finally back, releasing “Ojalá,” a collaboration with Spanish singer Beret, next week.

“It has been such a light to return to my solo career,” she tells Rolling Stone. “So many of my fans thought I wasn’t going to come back, but sharing this music news makes me so excited.

Rbd has finally settled a lawsuit with their ex-manager Guillermo Rosas. On Friday, the Mexican pop group’s Maite Perroni, Christopher von Uckermann, and Christian Chávez issued a statement revealing the band has agreed to pay the former manager less than half of the amount Rosas claimed he was entitled to for their Soy Rebelde Tour.

“Today being World Rbd Day, there is no better way to celebrate it than by doing justice,” the group wrote. “Finally, after a year, this matter has concluded. The truth is on our side.

After 15 long years, Rbd are officially back! The beloved Mexican pop group - which was born out of the 2005 telenovela "Rebelde" and includes Anahí, Christian Chávez, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, and Christopher von Uckermann - reunited earlier this year for one final tour, the Soy Rebelde Tour. On Sunday, they descended upon San Francisco's Chase Center, where they were met by thousands of fans dressed in miniskirts, white button-ups, red blazers, and knee-high boots.

Although it's been years since Rbd's last performance (and Alfonso Herrera is notably sitting out the tour), it was almost like no time had passed as the band transported the crowd back to Elite Way School with an emotional two-hour set of their greatest hits. "Thank you for not forgetting us. Thank you for making dreams come true tonight," Anahí passionately shouted to the audience in Spanish. "Thank you for keeping us in your hearts all these years,...

The streets surrounding the Angel of Independence in Mexico City filled with smiling faces on a warm night in mid-August. People waved flags, crowds chanted and clapped, and cars honked their horns. If this were any other night, you might assume a major soccer team had just earned a championship trophy and brought it out to the fans. But a very different win was being celebrated that night — and by a completely different group of people.

The rainbow colors of the LGBTQ pride flag have flooded the stage every night during Rbd’s Soy Rebelde Tour, which kicked off on Aug. 25. Christian Chávez, a charismatic member of the 5-person band, uses this moment to launch into a special solo performance of Rbd songs.

He often wears sparkly makeup, corsets, and bright colors, embracing his queerness by pushing gender norms on stage. It’s here that he often shares a speech about acceptance and inclusion in the community.

“It’s the best thing that could’ve happened.

Christian Chávez has always been one of the most colorful members of Rbd. Throughout his original tenure in the Mexican pop group in the early 2000s, he sported practically all the colors of the rainbow in his hair, and he later came out as gay shortly before the group split in 2009. Now, Chávez is excited to be reuniting with his bandmates for an Rbd world tour, which kicks off in the US this summer.

"It's super special for me to have the opportunity to be with Rbd again with this freedom now," he tells Popsugar. "Now I have the opportunity to be myself. Now I have the opportunity to be on stage and I can be my queer self."

“Because a love so big never left.” On Thursday night, Mexican pop group Rbd re-released “Siempre He Estado Aquí,” the one-off single they dropped in 2020, when four of the members reunited for the first time. The new track features vocals from Dulce María, who joined the group’s official reunion this year.

“I’ve always been here/I never forgot you/Because a love so big never left/I’ve always been here,” the group sings in the track’s chorus.

Almost 20 years ago, the members of Rbd came together for the first time on the Mexican telenovela Rebelde. Quickly, the series — which followed teens who formed a band at a fictional private school — became a household staple, propelling the group’s members to make the show’s band a real thing. Rbd eventually became a sensation and a pop culture staple for many Latinos.

On Thursday, 15 years after Rbd went on hiatus, the beloved Mexican pop group announced that they’re officially heading on a stadium and arena tour this fall,...

Rbd, the beloved pop group formed on the Mexican telenovela Rebelde in the early 2000s, is back and teasing a potential reunion tour in 2023. It’s been almost 14 years since the group disbanded, but a recent Instagram video on the official Rbd account has fans excited about a potential comeback. The nostalgic video includes clips from the original Televisa telenovela alongside more recent black-and-white shots of band members Dulce María, Christian Chávez, Anahí, Christopher von Uckermann, and Maite Perroni. The video starts with Anahí’s character Mia Colucci saying (in Spanish), “You know what I dream about? I dream of being able to go back in time and that one day everything will be as before.” This is followed later in the video by Von Uckermann’s Diego Bustamante, saying, “Maybe we can’t go back, but we can still hold on to it for a while.” View this post...

Rbd is back! On Monday, the beloved Mexican pop group announced that they will be officially reuniting in the new year, and fans think that a 2023 tour might be on the way.

After each of the original band members — Alfonso Herrera, Anahí, Dulce María, Christian Chávez, Christopher von Uckermann, and Maite Perroni — made their profile pictures blank Instagram, fans began to speculate that something might be in the works.

“Get your ties ready,” read a teaser on the band’s website alongside a countdown to January 19, 2023, and Rbd’s signature red tie.

Netflix revealed a first look at the “Rebelde” 2022 reboot today at its aptly-named global fan event Tudum, taking fans of the nostalgic telenovela back to the halls of Elite Way School.

The reboot of the wildly popular Mexican teen musical dramedy of the early-aughts, directed by Santiago Limón, seems to have taken a page from “Elite,” opting to put the students in preppy uniforms, rather than the iconic scanty skirts and cropped blouses of its predecessor. But, like the “Rebelde” we all know and love, the clip Netflix shared shows that there’ll be no shortage of musical acts.

The new generation of students are as follows: Azul Guaita as Jana Cohen, Sergio Mayer Mori as Estebán, Andrea Chaparro as M.J., Jeronimo Cantillo as Dixon, Franco Masini as Luka Colucci, Lizeth Selene as Andi, Alejandro Puente as Sebastián Langarica-Funtanet and Giovanna Grigio as Emilia. Estefanía Villarreal will reprise her role as Celina Ferrer,...

Bravo’s Top Chef may have just wrapped up its eleventh season, but the popular reality cooking competition is about to get a Latino-themed makeover when Top Chef Estrellas premieres on Telemundo Feb. 16. And there’s more to the show than the lilt of Spanish to distinguish it from its English-language counterpart. The trailer for this incarnation of Top Chef promises “spicy new ingredients,” like a a blonde who seductively tears off her chef coat, a hunky guy who appears shirtless, and a handful of fully-made up Spanish TV stars who prance around in the kitchen in high heels.

So what exactly is Cinco de Mayo? According to Wikipedia:

"Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican civic holiday held on May 5 that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. In the United States Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry, much as St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest, and the Chinese New Year are used to celebrate those of Irish, German, and Chinese ancestry respectively. Similar to those holidays, Cinco de Mayo is observed by many Americans regardless of ethnic origin."

When we realized Cinco de Mayo was coming up, we knew we had to pay tribute to all the wonders of Mexico, and after some research,...
