Billboard Latin Music Week and the biggest stars in Latin music are in Miami, Florida. Day two of one of the biggest weeks in Latin entertainment saw amazing conferences and in-depth q and a’s with chart-topping hit makers.

Sebastian Yatra, who once sat in the audience as a ticket holder when he was 18, took the stage and was interviewed by Lasso. Reflecting on a moment in his life when he couldn’t believe the magnitude of the situation, he quickly replied, “The Oscars.” In 2022, the Colombian singer sang ‘Dos Oruguitas,” from Disney’s Encanto, becoming the first Colombian solo artist to perform at the awards. “I was terrified,” he admitted. “I tried to contain it, and did my best, but I almost went on a spiritual retreat before performing at the Oscars.

I turned off my phone four days before the event, I isolated myself in a house in Los Angeles, and I studied the lyrics intensely.”While he was terrified of the Academy Awards, he admitted with every show comes fear, but said when you focus on people’s opinions or the media, you lose focus and transmit fear.

Focusing on the emotion, and what his performance represented for Latinos, he said, “I knew who would be in the audience, but I tried not to think about that and simply focus on respecting the song I was singing, feeling that emotion, and doing it for Colombia, for Latinos, and for so many people here and around the world who have dreamt of sharing our global music.”Marc Anthony’s wife Nadia Ferreira to present at the Billboard Latin Music AwardsBad Bunny will take the stage at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards with a world premiereThe Colombian star also reflected on the success of Colombian stars like himself, Shakira, and Camilo. “I don’t think it’s about.
