Canela.TV, the free streaming platform with its fully integrated rewards program, Club Canela, is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with “Latino Proud,” a special selection of movies, series, reality shows and original content honoring the talent, stories and voices that have inspired generations. The initiative underscores the platform’s commitment to providing culturally relevant content that resonates with Latino audiences year-round, not just during the month-long celebration.
At the heart of “Latino Proud” is the recognition that Latino entertainment spans eras and genres. The platform’s Cine de Oro collection features over 100 titles from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, including classics such as La Presidenta Municipal, starring La India María; La Selva de Fuego, featuring Dolores del Río; and Si Me Han de Matar Mañana, with Pedro Infante. This Hispanic Heritage Month, the collection expands with films like ¡Viva Quien Sabe Querer!, featuring Miguel Aceves Mejía, and ¡Tacos, Joven!, featuring Bárbara Gil, bringing the timeless legacy of Mexican cinema to new generations.
“Latino Proud isn’t a shelf we build in September and take down in October,” said Isabel Rafferty Zavala, Co-Founder & CEO of Canela Media. “Pedro Infante and Dolores del Río live on the same platform as Gabriela Spanic and Amara La Negra, because that’s how our audience actually watches. One culture, every generation, all year long. Hispanic Heritage Month is simply when we turn up the volume.”
The celebration extends beyond film. The hit Secretos franchise continues to captivate audiences, with Canela.TV offering every installment, including Secretos de Villanas, Secretos de Las Indomables and Secretos de Parejas, featuring stars like Gaby Spanic, Aylín Mujica, Alicia Machado, Amara La Negra, Bárbara de Regil and Julián Gil. Canela Originals also shine with powerful stories such as Reinas de la Noche, starring Catherine Siachoque, and Doble Traición, starring Litzy, showcasing the range of Latino talent through international co-productions.
Music lovers can enjoy Ídolos on Canela Music, spotlighting the journey of Nicaraguan-born singer Luis Enrique, whose contributions to salsa romántica have expanded the reach of Latin music. The video podcast Lo Que Suena celebrates the sounds and roots that unite Hispanic audiences. On Canela Kids, the award-winning animated series SuperEllas inspires through stories of iconic women like Shakira and Frida Kahlo. Canela Deportes celebrates fútbol with Galaxia Mundialista, featuring Mexican soccer legend Ricardo Peláez.
