Popular homegrown YouTube band Boyce Avenue, renowned for their glittering acoustic covers and melodic originals, is set to star in a new series for Univision titled Stereotype. In the bilingual show, Boyce Avenue — which is comprised of brothers Alejandro, Fabian, and Daniel Manzano — will take on typical Latino culture stereotypes through a comedic lens and either debunk them or prove them true.
The five total episodes will explore sports, food, fashion, and more from a Hispanic point of view, according to a release. The first episode, airing on Univision Trends — a channel from the American Spanish language TV network that’s devoted to culture, fashion, and food — is available right here.
“Not only is the series a great way to get meaningful conversations started about stereotypes within the community, it’s also a really fun way to give fans a closer look at the Hispanic culture — its traditions, ethics and values,” the brothers said in a statement. Added Dan Weinstein, president of Studio71, the MCN that has repped Boyce Avenue since last year: “Stereotype is an excellent vehicle that extends Boyce Avenue’s digital presence and brand to new digital platforms and audiences.”
