Los Angeles, CA – Today, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn to proclaim October 14, 2025 as Rock en Español Day in the County. Hahn presented an official recognition to Angelinos Rockeros, a group of rock en español enthusiasts who work to promote the genre in Los Angeles County.

“Put on a rock en español song in any corner of LA County, and you’re bound to find more than one person who knows it by heart. This is an iconic genre that has had a strong following here in LA County for generations,” said Hahn. “I’m proud to represent Latino communities who love this music, and proud to give it the official recognition it deserves.”

Robert Molina, a member of Angelinos Rockeros and owner of Roxanne’s in Long Beach, first raised the possibility of an official proclamation to celebrate the genre. This Sunday, Molina will host Rock en Español: Celebrating 30+ Years of Latin Rock in Los Angeles at Roxanne’s. The free community event will feature music, food, and a discussion about the history of rock en español in Los Angeles.

“On behalf of the LA Rock en español community, we would like to thank Supervisor Janice Hahn and the County of Los Angeles for the honor of granting us Angelinos with the official ‘Rock en Español Day’,” said the group, Angelinos Rockeros.

Los Angeles County is home to the largest Spanish-speaking population of any county in the nation. Broadly, the United States is home to the second largest Spanish-speaking population in the world, after Mexico. Rock en español performers regularly include stops in and around Los Angeles County on tour schedules.
