MIAMI - This week in Latin music, the industry shone brightly with groundbreaking moments and emerging talents, reshaping the musical landscape. Young Miko captivated audiences with "Curita," a melodious single from her debut album that symbolizes resilience and healing. Her recent accolade at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she received the Impact Award, underscores her rising influence in música urbana.
The star of that event, however, was Karol G. In a historic feat, the Colombian artist was named the first Latina Woman of the Year at the same awards ceremony, a recognition of her significant contributions to the genre. She celebrated what she described as "the most iconic moment in my career," with a salsa version of her hit "Amargura," produced by Sergio George.
