World music superstar Shakira heads out on her massive 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' world tour this year. One of the few Latin music stars to also dominate the English language charts, Shakira, who hails from Colombia, is best known in North America for her breakout hit 'Whenever, wherever', and the inescapable jam 'Hips Don't Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean)', which remains one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. With her unmistakable vocals, which incorporate the odd yodel here and there, real songwriting chops and some very truthful hips, Shakira is a real all-rounder.

Combining Regional Mexican, Urban Corrido and Trap with East LA vibes, Mexican-American foursome Fuerza Regida have been making waves since their 2015 formation and are now heading out on their first major arena tour. Catch these hotly-tipped performers as they bring their A-game to a stage near you.

Fusing good old fashioned rock and roll with brown-eyed soul, cumbia, boleros and norteno, Tex-Mex outfit Los Lobos (which translates to The Wolves) first gained commercial success and an international following when their cover of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba hit the top of the charts around the world in 1987. Experimenting with multiple genres over the decades, their wide-ranging sound has flourished in a variety of styles, from acoustic ballads to experimental rock. Whilst they may reinvent themselves constantly, their definitive fusion of Latin and American music remains at the creative core.

Synonymous with the evolution of his home country's proud musical heritage, Mexican icon Pancho Barazza has lent his distinctive voice and style to multiple Latin music genres, spanning rancheras, mariachi and norteno. From the mid-'90s to the present day, his considerable presence has evolved from band frontman to bonafide megastar over the course of over 20 albums. Catch the living legend as he brings his charisma, romance, and trademark stetson-tilted-over-one-eye to US shores!
