Canela.TV, the free streaming platform with its integrated rewards program Club Canela, has launched "Latino Proud," a special programming collection celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15. The initiative brings together movies, series, reality shows, and original content that honor the talent and stories shaping Latino entertainment across generations.
The collection highlights Canela.TV's extensive library, which includes one of the most comprehensive selections from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. The Cine de Oro collection features classics such as La Presidenta Municipal starring La India María, La Selva de Fuego with Dolores del Río, and Si Me Han de Matar Mañana featuring Pedro Infante. Latino Proud expands this with additional iconic films like ¡Viva Quien Sabe Querer! and ¡Tacos, Joven!, bringing over 100 titles to new audiences while preserving the legacy of Mexican cinema.
Contemporary Latino entertainment is also well-represented. The hit Secretos franchise, including Secretos de Villanas, Secretos de Las Indomables, and Secretos de Parejas, features stars such as Gaby Spanic, Aylín Mujica, Alicia Machado, Amara La Negra, Bárbara de Regil, and Julián Gil. Canela Originals like Reinas de la Noche with Catherine Siachoque and Doble Traición with Litzy showcase international co-productions that blend drama and passion.
Music and family programming are integral to the celebration. Canela Music spotlights Ídolos featuring Nicaraguan singer Luis Enrique, whose contributions to salsa romántica have expanded Latin music's reach. The video podcast Lo Que Suena celebrates Hispanic rhythms, while Canela Kids offers the award-winning animated series SuperEllas, inspiring through stories of iconic women like Shakira and Frida Kahlo. Canela Deportes features Galaxia Mundialista with Mexican soccer legend Ricardo Peláez sharing his career insights.
Club Canela, the platform's free loyalty program, is launching an official merch collection with trending phrases like "No es Drama, Es Character Development." Registered users can redeem points earned from watching content for these exclusive items at no cost, enhancing viewer engagement.
"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 initiative underscores the growing demand for culturally relevant, free streaming options for Latino audiences in the United States and Latin America. By integrating a rewards program and offering diverse content, Canela.TV differentiates itself in a crowded streaming market. Viewers can start watching at www.Canela.TV.
