Billboard Latin Music Awards 2019 Presenters

Billboard has reported that some of the presenters taking the stage tonight include Pedro Capó, Natti Natasha, Kany Garcia, Lupillo Rivera, Raymix and Sofia Reyes. Pedro Capó and Kany Garcia are both pulling double duty as presenters and performers. In an interview with Billboard, Garcia talked about Latin pop music today, explaining that, “For many people, it may feel like we have somehow lost what we call traditional music, popular music. But at the same time, it is our culture, and like everything else, it has also gained a boost by so many other things. One of the nice things about pop is its capacity for elasticity. Letting yourself flirt with urban music, with vallenato, with regional Mexican music is the beauty of pop. Pop has the ability to dress in many ways while still being pop at the end of the road.”

Billboard Vice President and Latin Industry Lead Leila Cobo will also appear.
