Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 brought Latin music stars to Miami for panels, showcases and backstage portraits. Artists who participated included Anuel AA, Becky G, Fuerza Regida, Kany García, Lali, Maluma and Mau & Ricky. The event overlapped with the Billboard Latin Music Awards, where Fuerza Regida led with eight wins and Cristian Castro, Rosalía and Rubén Blades received special honors.
The Miami event blended conference sessions, live showcases and backstage portrait sittings. Kany García, Fuerza Regida, Maluma, Becky G, Rubén Blades and Pitbull appeared in Icon or Superstar conversations, while Rawayana discussed touring with Live Nation and Hans Schafer.
Other panels paired Jessi Uribe with Paola Jara and Jay Wheeler with Zhamira for a love-and-music talk; Ana Mena, Aria Vega, Greeicy, LALI, Lola Indigo and RaiNao joined a global rising women’s session. Fuerza Regida and Jay Wheeler with Zhamira led En Vivo shows. The awards aired Oct. 22 on Telemundo and Peacock, with Fuerza Regida taking eight trophies and Cristian Castro, Rosalía and Rubén Blades receiving special awards.
Coverage may strengthen visibility for Latin music’s cross-border genres and give fans a closer view of artists beyond performances. For emerging acts and industry professionals, the week’s panels and showcases could create networking and discovery opportunities. Miami’s hospitality and media sectors may see short-term attention, while awards results could shape fan conversations and marketing around featured artists.
