The Monterrey-based trio 3BallMTY is launching a series of immersive , 360-degree live performances in smaller venues.. Following a string of successful large-scale tours, members Erick Rincón, Alberto Presenda, and Sergio Zavala aim to foster closer connections with their tribal guarachero fanbase.
From Pier 17 to 500-person venues
3BallMTY is shifting its performance scale from massive festival stages to more controlled, intimate environments. After performing a packed set at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York, the group announced a new recurring series designed for venues holding between 500 and 1,000 people.. This format is heavily inspired by the Boiler Room style, where the audience surrounds the performers.
According to the report, each night will follow a specific progression to build energy. The sets will begin with individual DJ performances from one of the three members—Erick Rincón, Alberto Presenda (DJ Otto), or Sergio Zavala (DJ Sheeqo Beat)—before the entire trio joins forces for a full 3BallMTY production. This structure is intended to create a high-energy, "party" atmosphere where the performers are physically close to the crowd.
The legacy of 'Inténtalo' and the 2012 tribal boom
This strategic pivot comes as the group experiences a significant cultural resurgence. As the source reports, the trio's history is deeply tied to the 2012 Mexican tribal boom, a period when their hit "Inténtalo" reached number one on multiple Latin charts.. That era was defined by more than just music; it included a distinct visual movement involving tribal dance crews and the iconic, exaggerated pointy boots seen in Matehuala, San Luis Potosí.
The group's ability to bridge local Mexican culture with international audiences was cemented when they won the Latin Grammy for Best New Artist.. This historical momentum has been sustained through recent successful runs, including the La Vuelta Tour in 2025 and the Club Conexión Tour, which saw sold-out dates in cities like Los Angeles, Nashville, and Denver.
The Chilean guaracha influence and the 2019 shift
The current revival of tribal guarachero is part of a broader evolution within the Latin electronic landscape.. DJ Otto noted that while the genre's momentum slowed mid-decade, a significant shift began around 2019. This new wave is characterized by a global interest in the specific rhythms of guaracha, particularly within a highly active scene in Chile.
This cross-border growth is being driven by a new generation of artists and producers. The report identifies several key players in the Chilean movement, including Plox, Río Roca, Martín White, and Berrío, who are helping to push the genre forward.. This influence is now bleeding into other styles, such as alt-pop and reggaetón, across Latin America and the United States.
Which cities will host the private-code sessions?
While the group has clarified the format of these upcoming shows, several logistical details remain unverified . The report states that presale and early access will be managed through private codes shared with dedicated followers, but it does not specify which cities or specific venues will be included in this inaugural series. Furthermore, it remains unclear how many of these 360-degree shows will be held in the U.S. versus Mexico or Chile, or how the group plans to distribute the exclusive access codes to their global community.
