[wind whistling]
- Yes! It worked. We're back, Dante. - [barks]
- [people chuckling]
- Let's go! I can't be late. - [barks]
[Dante barks]
Whoa.
- [crowd cheering] - [Dante barks]
Come on, Dante. We're almost there.
- [trumpets playing] - [crowd cheering]
[speaking Spanish, exclaims]
Welcome, friends, to this year's Battle of the Bands!
- [Miguel] Héctor! - Miguel!
I knew you would make it, chamaco.
[chuckles] Well, it is only one day a year.
- Miguel! Mijo. - [Miguel gasps]
[Miguel] Mamá Imelda!
I'm so glad you're back. It's been so long.
- Mmm. - Are you excited for tonight, huh?
The whole family is here already.
We cannot wait to see you on stage.
The whole family?
Of course. I just know you're going to win this year, mijo.
I can feel it in my bones.
Tonight, you will show the entire Land of the Dead
what the Riveras are made of.
And we also just want you to have a good time on stage, no?
Uh, that's right. Have a good time up there.
Make us proud.
And win this thing!
I better go. It's almost time.
- [barks, pants] - [chuckles]
[groans]
Tonight, we're looking to crown a very special performance
as the very best act in all the Land of the Dead.
[crowd cheering]
Each performance will be scored by our very capable judges.
[cheering continues]
The worst performances will be swept off the stage by…
[crowd gasping]
[both gasp]
[speaks Spanish] That's enough.
Let the competition begin!
[crowd cheering]
[playing off-key]
[crowd booing]
[music ends]
- [crowd gasping] - [thuds]
- [crowd cheering] - [trumpet plays out of tune]
See, chamaco, you've got this in the bag.
- Nothing to worry about. Huh? - [crowd gasping]
[crowd exclaims]
- [person whistles] - [crowd chattering]
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
- [music ends] - [crowd cheering, whistling]
Wow, that was some performance, huh?
Um, but you've still got this in the bag.
Uh, where-- where did I put that guitar?
Maybe I should come back next year.
What?
There's no way we're gonna win.
Chamaco, music is not about winning.
It's about sharing what's in your heart. Remember?
[Emcee] Please welcome to the stage, Miguel Rivera!
- [crowd cheering] - Just play from your heart.
[inhales deeply, sighs]
- [microphone feedback] - [chuckles]
[wind whistling]
Oh, no. Not our family.
[crowd gasping, murmuring]
Miguel, I hope you know your family is already so proud of you.
Every single one of us.
[inhales deeply, sighs]
