Latin Mafia just stepped offstage at Lollapalooza, and even though they're taking a break, it’s hard to turn that live-wire adrenaline off; they spent the entire set crowd-surfing over screaming fans and inciting mosh pits as they blasted out hyped-up songs from their genre-smashing album, Todos Los Días Todo el Día.

“We're a part of a generation that’s maybe not used to mosh pits and crowd-surfing at concerts, so for us, it’s about reviving those types of moments in our shows,” Emilio de la Rosa says. His twin, Milton, chimes in, “Our shows are very energetic to the point that they become physical. It’s like a concert in 4-D to the extent that you can touch us, and what we're feeling is tangible.”
