The first Latin awards show of the year will showcase the new music of 2019, crossover bilingual performances in various genres, new emerging artists and more women singers and songwriters who are breaking new ground. The broadcast, from AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, will feature a cavalcade of stars performing and presenting, plus a tribute to musical legends and a celebration of musical family dynasties that have shaped the world of Latin music.
