On September 15, HBO Max will honor Latin Heritage Month 2021 with the launch of the Moving Pa’lante spotlight page, highlighting the content on the platform celebrating the Latino experience. The month-long festivities will include a free outdoor event at the New York Latino Film festival that will celebrate Latin music with a special performance by multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter and reggaeton star Justin Quiles, a panel at the Latin Billboard Conference and a pop-up event in Los Angeles introducing Pa’lante!
