Bebeshito to Front First Reparto Panel at Billboard Latin Music Week
Bebeshito will lead the first panel devoted entirely to reparto at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami Beach.
The Cuban singer, whose birth name is Oniel Ernesto Columbie Campos, will speak on the panel during the event organised by Billboard, scheduled for 19 to 22 October at the Faena Forum. The news came with a new Cafecito Con video episode featuring Bebeshito, released on Monday, 28 September, according to Billboard.
Bebeshito was named one of Billboard's 2026 Latin Artists to Watch. In August 2025, he became the first reparto artist to sell out the Kaseya Center in Miami, performing for 20,000 people.
He will not be alone on stage. The first-ever reparto panel also includes Wow Popy, Rey Tony y Helabusador and DJ Conds. It is a step up from last year, when Bebeshito made his Latin Music Week debut on the "Cumbia and Tropical Explosion" panel with Olga Tañon, Guaynaa, Luck Ra and Grupo 5.
The Cafecito Con episode was filmed over sips of Cuban coffee. In it, Bebeshito talks about reparto's momentum, meeting Bad Bunny and the legacy of El Taiger.
El Taiger, whose real name was José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, died in October 2024 after being shot in the head in Miami. Bebeshito collaborated with him on the tracks "Marca Mandarina" and "El Punto".
Reparto takes its name from Cuba's repartos, the large housing projects outside city centres. The sound fuses urban music with timba, a fast Cuban dance style, and rumba, and it is driven by the clave, a pair of wooden sticks that sets the rhythm.
Bebeshito's song "Tacto Que Llegó El Reparto" has entered Billboard's Hot Tropical Songs chart, the company's ranking for tropical music in the United States.
For fans, this means a genre built street by street in Cuba now gets its own formal slot at Latin music's main industry week. Short set. Big room. Twenty thousand people already proved the demand.
