Juanes will celebrate his upcoming album with a live performance at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, July 16, in his first return to the venue since 2018.

LA Phil presents the performance as part of its 2025 Latin music concert series, which celebrates the diversity of Latin sounds.

“Playing the Hollywood Bowl is always something special. There’s a magic in the air, a connection with the audience that stays with you,” said Juanes. “Coming back after so many years, with music that tells the story of where I’ve been and where I’m going, feels like a beautiful full circle—especially in a city that has given me so much love.”

Concertgoers attending Juanes’ appearance at the Hollywood Bowl will be treated to his first live performance of “Una Noche Contigo,” the first single of his upcoming 12th studio album.

The show will also feature fan-favorite hits like “Es Por Ti,...

Hugh Jackman earned an Oscar nomination for his work as Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables,” but things didn’t go so well decades ago while belting out the musical’s “Stars” when he had to sing for the first time at an audition.

“I read first and I could tell it was going well,” Jackman said Saturday night during a performance of “An Evening With Hugh Jackman” at the Hollywood Bowl. “Then I sang and I cracked on the final note so spectacularly. Like it was the worst crack you could have ever imagined. Whatever excitement was on the panel, it just deflated immediately. I was about to run out, just humiliated.”

“But then the guy goes, ‘Whoa, hold on a second. Why did you sing that song?’” Jackman continued. “I said, ‘It’s the only thing I had music for. I’m sorry.’ And he said, ‘Well, you can throw that away.

The Latin Recording Academy announced on Tuesday that the Spanish singer and actor Raphael will be honored as the 2025 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year at the Latin Grammys.

The 82-year-old artist, known for a robust voice and a theatrical performance style, boasts a six-decade musical career. Born Rafael Martos in Linares, Spain, in 1943, Raphael was raised in Madrid and showed his singing abilities at a young age. (He won the Best Child Voice in Europe award at the Salzburg Festival when he was nine.) He released his self-titled debut album in 1965 and,...

Early on, Mexican singer Karina Sofia had a sketch of her album La Reina Del Cañon in her mind: She knew she wanted it to crisscross a narrative of strength and independence, mirroring a journey toward emancipation and self-love she’d experienced herself after a toxic relationship. She’d already put a few demos together, and played them for a music-industry friend who listened and immediately said, “Gustavo Santaolalla has to produce this.”

Karina wasn’t familiar with who Santaolalla was, and it wasn’t until later that she realized...

This article contains spoilers for the premiere of "The Last of Us" season 2.

"The Last of Us" has an interesting approach when it comes to video game adaptations. For the most part, the show plays like a shot-for-shot remake of the video game of the same name directed by Cruce Straley and Neil Druckmann and developed by studio Naughty Dog. Except the series does something unexpected every so often, from dedicating an episode to telling the backstory of a minor character whose nuance most gamers miss, or wholly original prologues that show how the Cordyceps fungal infection started abroad.

When it comes to meta references to the games, "The Last of Us" finds a good balance between winks at the audience and just loving tributes to the people who helped make the game. Take the casting of Ashley Johnson as Ellie's mom, a beautiful cameo that works on many levels...

Hours before música mexicana heartthrob Ivan Cornejo took the stage at Austin’s Acl Live at the Moody Theater, his fans had already begun to hype him up. They showed up in droves — some of them carrying the signature red roses Cornejo tends to give out during his sets — and let out seismic, window-shattering roars whenever images of the 20-year-old singer-songwriter popped up on the Ld screens at the venue. Most of them seemed ready to get into their feelings, something Cornejo always opens up space to do during his performances.

Bad Bunny might make hits, and take on the biggest wrestlers on WWE… but next time, he might draw the line at trying to consume the hottest chicken wings. On Thursday, First We Feast shared the singer’s visit to Hot Ones where the singer failed to make it through to the hottest wing — but made viewers laugh at his antics along the way.

“It’s a problem because they’re so fucking spicy but it’s really good… What do I do? It’s so good!” he said toward the beginning.

Set in 2012 Venezuela, Pimpinero: Blood and Oil builds its story on the gasoline-smuggling surge that emerged from the country’s extremely low fuel prices. The historical period shows a time of financial hardship, where smuggling presented both chances for profit and life-threatening risks.

The raw desert of La Guajira, filled with sand-covered roads and intense heat, creates the background that mirrors the disorder and strain of the characters’ existence. The harsh land reflects the dark world of the pimpineros, where staying alive depends on criminal dealings and brutality.

The film mixes raw reality with high drama, with the desert’s barrenness showing the characters’ ethical decline. The raw images—streams of dust behind racing vehicles or long stretches of empty terrain—place viewers inside an isolated and dangerous space, building the film’s tense atmosphere.

Ariana Grande in “Wicked,” Timothée Chalamet in “A Complete Unknown” and Angelina Jolie in “Maria”: What these performances have in common – besides a strong shot at Oscar nominations – is the man who coached each of their voices to their highest highs: esteemed Los Angeles vocal coach Eric Vetro.

Vetro has been down this award-winning yellow brick road before with singers and actors, particularly through musical biographies. Along with coaching Renée Zellweger to Oscar victory as Judy Garland in “Judy,” and Hugh Jackman to a Tony win as Peter Allen in “The Boy from Oz,” Vetro worked with Austin Butler on his Oscar-nominated turn as “Elvis” and Riley Keough on her Emmy-nommed role in “Daisy Jones & the Six.” Currently, Vetro is coaching Jeremy Allen White for his Bruce Springsteen “Nebraska”-era biopic “Deliver Me from Nowhere” and, beyond that, Kj Apa as Sublime singer Bradley Nowell in a still-unnamed film.

Ryan Castro and Juanes are kicking off the holiday season with some classic chucu chucu dance moves. On Thursday night, the pair of stars linked up for “El Chucu Chucu,” a dancey track that hears the Colombian legend and reggaetonero take it back to the Seventies.

The brutal petrol trade between Venezuela and Colombia in 2012 is the backdrop to Andrés Baiz’s starry if slow-paced tale of brothers navigating the future

It’s called the “caravan of death” – cars speeding, Mad Max-style, across the desert on the border between Colombia and Venezuela, loaded up with jerry cans of petrol. Colombian film-maker Andrés Baiz, who previously worked on episodes of Netflix’s Narcos, has directed this crime saga inspired by the real-life “pimpineros”, smugglers who exploited dirt-cheap petrol during the presidency of Hugo Chávez. But strangely, this film keeps to the speed limit; it’s like Formula One with enhanced health and safety, slow-paced and a little low on adrenaline.

The year is 2012, when sixpence bought a gallon of petrol in oil-rich Venezuela, leading to a boom in cross-border smuggling to Colombia. A trio of brothers, the Estradas, have been muscled out of the smuggling business...

Happy silver anniversary to the Latin Grammys! After the Spanish bombast of the 2023 celebration in Sevilla, the Latin Grammys celebrated its 25th year on Thursday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Were Latin music’s biggest night a person, she would be old enough to rent a car (sans the young-driver tax) and cruise down Collins Avenue with her messiest and most glamorous girlfriends.

She’d never get that messy, though. The Person of the Year honoree Carlos Vives opened the show with a regal power stance, and blazed...

This summer, exclusive Sonesta Travel Pass members and industry insiders had the privilege of seeing some of their favorite artists on an intimate stage thanks to the Rolling Stone and Sonesta International Hotels partnership that launched the satellite Musicians on Musicians events.

Powerful women in Latin music undoubtedly dominated 2024. On Thursday, the Latin Grammys highlighted Elena Rose, Kali Uchis, and Emilia for a jam-packed segment celebrating female pop stars.

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 8, Rolling Stone is breaking down 13 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

The Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album has always been somewhat of a grab-bag; it’s so broad that anyone can argue that nearly any album fits in here. The projects that tend to do best are either straight-ahead rock or hard-to-categorize experimentalism: As examples, Rosalia’s Motomami took the prize in 2023, while...

Eladio Carrión is stripping back his music for El Tiny. On Sunday, the Puerto Rican trap star visited NPR Music for a performance that featured special guest, the singer Lia Kali, and a sweet serenade for his mom, who was in the crowd.

Carrión opened his Tiny Desk debut by dropping the bars to his tracks “Gladiador” and “Air France,” backed by his band and trio of background vocalists including Devin Velez, Alexandria Dopson, and Tayler Green.

Back in 2002, Nelly Furtado and Juanes teamed up for “Fotografía,” a wistful guitar ballad that hit Number One on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts. At the time, both artists had rocketed to stardom with their debut albums, Furtado with Whoa Nelly! and Juanes with Fijate Bien. “Fotografía” united two forces from different parts of the industry and put their chemistry front and center, showcasing Furtado singing in Spanish for the first time. It quickly became a standout on Juanes’ seminal sophomore album, Un Día Normal.

Two vocal powerhouses just joined forces on the 2023 Latin Grammys stage. Música Mexicana star Christian Nodal and Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García took the stage at the awards show to perform their cross-genre collaboration “La Siguiente.”

García started her performance alone, while surrounded by a band. Then, Nodál joined García onstage in an all-black outfit as the two showcased their vocal chops as they sang harmonized to the sweet song’s lyrics.

“La Siguiente” was up up for Best Regional Mexican Song, but ultimately lost to Grupo Frontera and Bad Bunny’s “Un x100to.

On Thursday night, Maria Becerra took the stage to both perform a stunning rendition of “Amigos,” along with special version of her song “Ojalá” on the Latin Grammys awards stage.

Alborán first took the stage alone, before Becerra joined him in a light pink dress as the two performed their Song of the Year nod on a lit-up stage. The musicians were backed by a string ensemble.

The two artists ended their rendition within a bright circle reminiscent of Alborán’s La Cuarta Hoja album cover.
