The 2016 Billboard Latin Music Awards are just around the corner and celebrities keep confirming their attendance.
Joining the star-studded ceremony, which will be held ending April in Miami, are newly announced performers Juanes, Lucero, Yandel, Natalia Jimenez, and Marc Anthony. Nicky Jam, Victor Manuelle, Banda Sinaloense MS de Sergio Lizarraga, and a historic performance by Daddy Yankee and Don Omar are previously confirmed acts.
Recently, the Latin Billboards announced that Alejandro Fernandez has also been invited to perform with his daughter, Camila, as part of this year's "Billboard Duets." His 18-year-old daughter first stepped into the spotlight after her first public performance singing "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti" with her father in 2014. The father and daughter recently dropped their first-ever duet, covering "Lion King's" "Circle of Life" in Spanish.
In addition to his highly-anticipated showcase with his daughter, El Potrillo will receive the Billboard Hall of Fame Award, reserved for artists who have achieved worldwide recognition for their work, transcending musical genres and languages. This honor has been previously given to Celia Cruz, Vicente Fernandez, and Marc Anthony. On the other hand, Marco Antonio Solis will also get a special recognition, receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Mexican singer will be honored with this award in celebration of his 50 plus years in the industry. His trajectory kicked off in the mid-'70s when Solis formed part of Los Bukis, gaining instant success in Latin America and the U.S.
A new wave of presenters has also been revealed, including TV favorites Edith Gonzalez (Eva La Trailera), Michael Buffer (The voice of professional Boxing) and Rafael Amaya (El Sr. de Los Cielos). The awards show will include a stellar lineup of presenters, including many of Telemundo's TV personalities such as, Dr. Ana Maria Polo from "Caso Cerrado," Angelica Vale, Giselle Blondet, Maria Celeste Arraras, Patricia Manterola, and the participation of the sexy Victoria's Secret model, Adriana Lima.
