Despite the significant challenges they've faced in a male-dominated industry, Latina music artists are thriving. Karol G recently made history with her fourth album, "Mañana Será Bonito," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts No.1. And Shakira has had an epic year of back-to-back recording-breaking hits, including her viral diss track "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions #53."
In celebration of Latinas' success in music, Billboard and Telemundo have partnered for Billboard's first-ever Mujeres en La Música event, which honors Latin women in Spanish music. The inaugural event will take place on May 6 at the Watsco Center in Miami but airs on May 7 on Telemundo.
Reggaeton legend Ivy Queen, who received this year's Icon Award at Billboard's 2023 Women in Music event, will be cohosting the event alongside television personality Jacqueline Bracamontes.
Leila Cobo, Billboard's chief content officer for Latin/Español, says the inaugural event serves as an expansion of Billboard's Women in Music franchise.
