‘La Reina De La Canción’: Univision Looking For Next Jenni Rivera; When, Where To Audition

Univision is looking for the next Latina superstar in the Mexican Regional music genre. Now, hopefuls will have the opportunity to audition for “La Reina de la Canción” (Queen of the Song), a competition that’s not only searching for the next great female superstar, but also celebrates the myriad of accomplishments Latina women have made in the US by giving voice to their hopes and dreams.

Francisca Lachapel, former “Nuestra Belleza Latina” queen and now part of Univision’s hit morning show “Despierta América,” will be participating in the auditions as she will be one of the celebrity cast members for the show. The host for “La Reina de la Canción,” which will make its debut in 2017, will be revealed later this year.

“La Reina de la Canción” is an original multimedia talent competition that allows viewers to help discover the next great female singer in the Regional Mexican music genre. Much more than a singing competition, the show will feature musical performances by top artists, contestants’ physical and emotional transformations, their struggles, loves, plans and dreams of becoming the next Latina superstar.

The season will start with up to 60 contestants selected through auditions to be held across the U.S. To take part in the auditions, aspiring stars must be over 18 years of age, fluent in Spanish and be prepared to sing at least 3 of the songs listed on the official website. If chosen as a finalist, participants must be available to reside in Miami during the length of their participation in the program. For a complete list of songs and documents required at the time of the audition and other details, please visit www.LaReinadelaCancion.com .

Over the course of the season, the number of contestants will gradually be narrowed to four finalists, from whom the new Queen of Mexican Regional music will be selected during the show’s season finale.
