The duo’s viral tracks, such as “CORA DE HIELO” and “flashes,” feature collaborations with artists like Natt Calma, Mau Moctezuma, and Yng Lvcas. RØZ’s set is planned for Sunday, April 12, at 18:40 local time. The inclusion of Mexican artists at Coachella highlights the growing international recognition of the country’s music scene.
