According to insiders, the event will showcase original compositions tailored for the occasion, including one by Hoyos and Rauch set to a score by composer Lucas Vidal. The lineup aims to celebrate the diversity of Ibero-American talent and music.

Mexican musical traditions will be
highlighted, with performances by Guerra, Issa, and Semprún. Mena is expected
to honor the late Rocío Dúrcal, who would have celebrated her 80th birthday in
2024.
Some of the performers are not just acclaimed for their musical prowess but also for their contributions to the screen. Apart from her singing career, Hoyos has made waves in productions such as "Pablo Escobar: The Drug Lord," "Sniper: Ultimate Kill," and "Never Back Down: Revolt." Rauch, a musician of considerable versatility, has graced stages in roles like Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables" and the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera," a role he continues to enchant audiences with at the Teatro Albéniz in Madrid, among numerous others.
Guerra, known for her captivating
voice, treated fans to the four-song EP "Érase una vez" in 2023, teasing the arrival of a new album
anticipated later this year. She's also embarked on the Si Me Quisieras tour
and has collaborated with esteemed artists such as Tiziano Ferro, Tini, Greeicy,
Mike Bahía, and Lasso.
Issa, on the other hand, has been
carving her path in the music industry since the 2017 release of "Nocturna," an album that garnered
her a Latin Grammy nomination for best ranchera-mariachi album. Currently,
she's generating buzz with her latest cinematic venture, "El Bolero De Rubén," marking her
presence in the first Colombian musical movie performed live.
Semprún's theatrical repertoire boasts impressive credits such as "Piaf, Voz y Delirio," "La Lupe, la Reina del Desamor," and "The Sound of Music." Her talents were recognized in 2020 with a Latin Grammy win for "Soy Puro Teatro (Homenaje a La Lupe)." She also made her mark in cinema with a memorable role in "La Noche de las dos Lunas," earning her a Goya Award nomination for best original song.
Mena, a prominent figure in the urban pop scene, clinched the title of best artist in the Spain category at the LOS40 Music Awards 2023. She catapulted to fame with albums like "Index" and "Bellodrama," along with hit singles such as the viral sensation "Madrid City." Collaborations with CNCO, Becky G, De La Ghetto, Maldita Nerea, Natalia Lacunza, Belinda, Abraham Mateo, and Malú have further solidified her position in the music industry.
Bisbal, a powerhouse in the music realm, boasts a staggering collection of over 80 national and international accolades, including Latin Grammys, Latin Billboard Awards, and Ondas Awards. His global appeal has taken him to iconic venues like the Royal Albert Hall, the O2 Arena in London, Carnegie Hall, the Barclays Center in New York, and the Olympia in Paris. Collaborations with Alejandro Sanz, Miley Cyrus, Rocío Jurado, Rihanna, Sebastián Yatra, Juan Luis Guerra, Luis Fonsi, and others have underscored his musical prowess. Currently, he's captivating audiences with his Volaré tour.
Monsieur Periné, the musical duo
consisting of Catalina García and Santiago Prieto, weaves together a vibrant
tapestry of jazz, swing, and pop with Latin American rhythms like salsa,
cumbia, and bolero. Their creative fusion has resulted in four studio albums
spanning from 2012 to 2023, earning them a Latin Grammy for best new artist in
2015.
Aguilar, on the other hand, has
carved her niche with five albums that blend pop with mariachi and regional
Mexican music. Her artistry has garnered her a Grammy nomination and four Latin
Grammy Award nominations, making her one of the youngest artists to be
recognized by both prestigious awards. Aguilar's latest musical endeavor
includes a collaboration with Becky G on the track "Por lo contrario," which also features her brother, Leonardo
Aguilar.
