From career milestones and new music releases to major announcements and more, Billboard editors highlight the latest news buzz in Latin music every week. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
Nicky Jam’s Show Returns
Nicky Jam’s The Rockstar Show returns for another season. Unlike the first season, which aired on YouTube, the second one will air exclusively on Canela Music, a new app by Canela Media that offers Latin music programming. Sponsored by Verizon, the second season will be available April 14.
“Music is a big part of daily life and special occasions for most Hispanics,” said Andres Rincon, senior vice president of Sales at Canela Media. “Whether attending a live music performance or listening to recordings, the genres Hispanic consumers choose are highly diverse. While Latin music is a fan favorite, Hispanic listeners also enjoy urban genres like hip-hop more than the general population.”
