Not only did many social media creators showed their opinion but also people like Ms.Haro
“Politically, yes it was very late for a latino specifically latina artist, to headline such a big event here in the U.S. given that music is very universal, I feel like that festival was very much known as indie/alt music and slowly it started integrating to the mainstream.”
It’s important to represent minorities in any aspect, such as Coachella.
