Kicking off on May 8, the Kings of Bachata are joining Karol G in the weekly music event that will stream on Bud Light YouTube channel and will benefit of the American Red Cross. “This Friday, get ready to swap out those quarantine sweatpants with your favorite weekend looks and prepare to sing, dance and party with me digitally,” the Tusa singer said.

In the midst of the mania, J Balvin successfully launched his new album Colores and partnered with Vevo to bring his new album to fans everywhere. “I'm so grateful that the team at Vevo helped me bring songs from my new album Colores to life,” he said. “I take the visual presentation of my music very seriously, so it was great to work with a team of creators that hold their work to the same standard. Being able to share this special performance with you means everything to me since I can’t perform for you in person right now.”
