Wisin habla de su nueva colaboración con Anuel AA ‘Mi Exxx’: ‘Los ex no deberían pelear’

Wisin recorrió la alfombra roja de los Latin American Music Awards 2023 el jueves (20 de abril), y de paso le contó a Billboard todo sobre su nuevo sencillo “Mi Exxx”, una colaboración con Anuel AA.

“Gracias a Anuel, gracias a Los Legendarios, a Luian. Hay muchas personas detrás de este proyecto y es parte de lo nuevo que traigo”, dijo. “’Mi Exxx’, junto a Anuel, es un tema muy orgánico. Yo se lo envié, le encantó, tiró. Logramos hacer el video con Carlos Pérez. Y ese tipo de proyecto es el que sale”.

“Mi Exxx” es una picante canción de reggaetón que combina los sonidos característicos de Wisin y Anuel. También marca el regreso de Anuel a un sonido más comercial.

“Estamos viendo un gran regreso y estoy feliz por él”, dijo Wisin sobre el astro del trap. “Creo que Anuel tiene mucho que ofrecer a la escena musical y es un honor tenerlo en esta canción”.

Carlos Vives Testifies to His Legacy With Riveting Medley Alongside All-Star Cast at 2023 Latin AMAs

With buoyant force and a vivacious spirit, Carlos Vives opened up his all-hit medley performance with the Rafael Escalona original “Mala Suerte” and his own timeless “La Gota Fría” at the 2023 Latin AMAs. He was backed by a riveting accordionist and a vibrant rhythm section. 

Mexican sibling duo Jesse & Joy soon joined the legend to sing “La Tierra del Olvido,” then husband-and-wife couple Guaynaa and Lele Pons shared their vocals on “Volví a Nacer.” Emilia and Ryan Castro also provided spirited pipes on “Robarte Un Beso.” Emilia is one of Billboard Español’s first annual Latin Women in Music honorees. The all-star cast of Latin performers channeled the joyous and contagious happiness that Carlos Vives is known for.

Earlier that evening, Vives accepted his Legend award in honor of his 30-year legacy, since releasing the revolutionary Clásicos de la Provincia in 1993, a groundbreaking sound that immortalized Colombian vallenato beyond its borders.

“Thirty years ago music showed me two paths: to copy the genres that were successful at the time [or] to transform the music of my land, feel proud to be Colombian, and give our music the level it deserved,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, carrying that message.”

On Wednesday, Vives released a heartfelt ode to the late, great Rafael Escalona on Escalona Nunca Se Había Grabado Así. Vives will premiere its accompanying documentary Regreso a Escalona on May 1 in Colombia and will arrive four days later in the U.S. at The Colombian Film Festival NY. The musician is also preparing for an upcoming international tour.

Nominations for the 2023 awards — based on streaming, sales, radio airplay, tours and social media interactions data provided by Billboard and Luminate during the eligibility period (Feb. 12, 2022, through Feb. 4, 2023) — are led by Bad Bunny with 11 nominations. He’s followed by Becky G and Daddy Yankee, each with nine nominations. For the first time since its debut on Oct. 8, 2015, the ceremony — which is taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas — will be broadcast live simultaneously on Univision, UNIMÁS, and Galavisión.

David Bisbal Honored With the Pioneer Award at the 2023 Latin AMAs

Spanish flamenco-pop star David Bisbal was honored with the Pioneer Award at the 2023 Latin American Music Awards, which took place Thursday, April 20 live from Las Vegas.

Celebrating 20 years in music, Bisbal was praised by his good friend, and fellow superstar Olga Tañón, who presented him with the special award. “David, it’s incredible all you’ve achieved in 20 years,” she told him. “You brought flamenco to my home and you continue to making our lives more joyful.”

A visibly emotional Bisbal, took the stage to thank his fans, his family and the Latin AMAs for the recognition. “Madre mía de mi vida. I fell in love with Latin music 20 years ago thanks to great colleagues like Ricky Martin, Chayanne and Juan Luis Guerra. That allowed me to really fall in love with Latin music. When I had the chance to record my first album, I decided to fuse it with my roots, my flag. To date, I haven’t stopped. And you know what? I’m ready for the next 20 years. Vamos!“

Then came his performance, which kicked off with his new track “Ajedrez,” and later transitioned into musical tribute with Tañón and Ángela Aguilar leading the set. The former performing Bisbal’s “Bulería” flamenco-fused pop anthem. Aguilar then took the stage to sing “Ave María,” his hit song from 2003.

Nominations for the 2023 awards — based on streaming, sales, radio airplay, tours and even social media interactions data provided by Billboard and Luminate during the eligibility period (Feb. 12, 2022, through Feb. 4, 2023) — are led by Bad Bunny with 11 nominations. He’s followed by Becky G and Daddy Yankee, each with nine nominations.

Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur premieres on FX on Friday (April 21). The five-part docuseries details the “illuminating saga” of Tupac and Afeni Shakur.

Directed by Allen Hughes and co-produced by Interscope Records, Dear Mama is described as a “deep dive” inside the bond between the late rap icon, whose life was cut short at age 25, and his activist mother, who passed away in 2016.

“There have been a million pieces done on him, but none of them really did the trick as far as understanding completely that narrative and that human being and the complexities and the dualities,” Hughes told Billboard. “You talk about the surface stuff, but there was never a deep dive. I wanted to understand.”

Keep reading for ways to stream the docuseries without cable.  

How to Watch Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur

The first two episodes of Dear Mama will drop Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The remaining three episodes will debut on Fridays. New episodes of the FX docuseries will be available to stream on Hulu the next day.
