Billboard’s October 6 Latin Music Week lineup update added Rubén Blades, Tito Nieves and a wider group of performers and speakers to the October 19–22 program in Miami Beach. The new list also includes Anthony Ramos, Lenny Tavárez and Micro TDH, alongside artists from across Latin music.
Two salsa voices on the Miami schedule
Blades is scheduled for an Icon Q&A on Wednesday, October 21, at Faena Forum Main Stage. Nieves will join Luis Figueroa for “Salsa Revival: Bridging Generations” on Monday, October 19, at Faena Theater. The published schedule says programming is subject to change.
The Wednesday Billboard x Eater El Pre Party at Wynwood Marketplace adds salsa dancing with Natasha Nazario, performances by Tavárez, Ramos and Micro TDH, and a DJ set by EP The Latino. The October 6 announcement also says Anuel AA will host a premiere where attendees get a first listen to his new music, then headline the Latin Music Week afterparty at LIV; it gives no song title or public release date.
