Banco Santander, in collaboration with Omar Montes, launched the #LouderTogether initiative last July to identify and nurture emerging musical talent from Generation Z on TikTok. With the participation of Santander Argentina, Santander Brasil, Santander Chile, Santander España, Santander México, Santander Portugal, and Santander Uruguay, over 3,500 entries were received from these seven countries, and five exceptional artists were chosen to represent the best of Gen Z creativity. Yesterday, LoudT debuted their first single, "Dime", and its music video—an exciting culmination of cross-border collaboration, creativity, and dedication. This initiative underscores Santander’s commitment to empowering the next generation, supporting their ambitions, and providing them with the tools and platforms to achieve their dreams. We want to be a facilitator for Gen Z, connecting with them through their preferred channels and fostering their collaborative spirit as they take their first steps towards success.
