Billboard Latin Music Week just got way more exciting. Kali Uchis, the bilingual powerhouse behind No. 1 Hot Latin Songs hits like “Telepatía” and “Igual Que Un Ángel,” will make a special stop at the 2025 edition. The weeklong event, set for Oct. 20-24 at the Fillmore Miami Beach, will feature the Colombian American artist in an intimate Superstar Q&A.
During this special appearance, the artist born Karly Marina Loaiza will pull back the curtain on her decade-plus evolution, offering attendees an inside look at the career milestones, creative processes and cultural influences that have made her a trailblazer in both English and Spanish-language music.
Amid her sold-out arena tour across the U.S. — that celebrates 10 years of music and in support of her latest album Sincerely, — the hitmaker continues to prove why she’s one of the most revered bilingual artists in the industry. From her early SoundCloud days with 2015’s EP Por Vida to the bilingual brilliance of Orquídeas (2024), which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, she continues to deliver bangers like “All I Can Say” and “Is It A Crime,” which reached the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 24 and No. 11, respectively.

“Sincerely, was such a nostalgic sound in general. It was very different for me because it played on some of my influences that I haven’t really shown,” she recently told Billboard Español. “I’m influenced by so much different music. Everyone knows that I love oldies, but I also dug into an alternative sound. I pushed my voice in different ways that I haven’t necessarily done in the past.”
This year’s annual event includes artist guests like Anuel AA, Carín León, DY (formerly known as Daddy Yankee), Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Laura Pausini, Luis R. Conriquez, Myke Towers, Netón Vega, Óscar Maydon, Ozuna, Silvana Estrada, and Xavi, with more artists to be announced soon.
Latin Music Week aligns with the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, airing live from Miami on October 23 via Telemundo and Peacock. Tickets for Billboard Latin Music Week 2025 are on sale now at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com.

Maná returns to the top of Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart for the first time in nearly nine years, with a new version of the 1992 hit “Vivir Sin Aire,” with Carin León (ranking dated Sept. 13).
The reimagined version of “Vivir Sin Aire” rallies 14-1 on the overall Latin Airplay list after a 60% boost in audience impressions, to 9.4 million, earned in the United States, in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate.

The new No. 1 ends Mana’s hiatus from the summit since the band last ruled with “De Pies a Cabeza,” with Nicky Jam, in 2016. In sum, the band has banked 12 champs on Latin Airplay, including two eight-week rulers, “Labios Compartidos” and “Lluvia Al Corazón” in 2006 and 2011, respectively.
As the new song takes over, Maná ties with Gloria Estefan and Juanes for the fifth-most rulers among Latin pop acts since Latin Airplay began in 1994. They trail Enrique Iglesias (32), Shakira (24), Ricky Martin (18) and Luis Fonsi (13).
For León, the collaboration marks his fifth time reigning the chart, with three of those landing in 2025. Curiously, León’s path to No. 1 on Latin Airplay No. 1 seems to follow an “M” formula: from “Llorar y Llorar,” with Mau y Ricky (2012), “Según Quién,” with Maluma (four weeks atop in 2023) and now his team-up with Maná, the letter “M” has become a lucky charm in his collaborations.
“Vivir Sin Aire” surges to No. 1 assisted by three Univision stations: KCSA (Los Angeles), WOJO (Chicago), and KLNO (Dallas) are leading the charge as the song’s biggest promoters during the tracking week.
All three cities are part of Maná’s Vivir Sin Aire Tour which kicked off Sept. 5, in San Antonio. In addition to two nights in Chicago, the group sports four dates at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. (Los Angeles area) in November.

The indie firm — set to officially open its doors on Sept. 15 — will specialize in communications, public relations and entertainment, as well as the production of experiences and events. Through the strategic alliance with Warner Music Latina, it will develop new talent and strengthen the company’s artist roster. The collaboration remains non-exclusive, allowing room for new opportunities and partnerships.
“Working inside labels for so many years gave me incredible tools and perspective, but I reached a point where I wanted to build something of my own,” says Pérez. “What I’m most looking forward to with Studio VII is having the flexibility to expand beyond traditional music PR and explore cultural and digital storytelling in new ways. This felt like the right moment to take that step — to honor the past, but also to create a platform for what’s coming next.”
Built on three pillars — vision, strategy, and creativity — Studio VII will operate across the United States, Mexico, Latin America and Spain. It will support artists, brands and cultural projects from concept to execution through impactful campaigns, customized events and strategic activations in key markets.

Over a career spanning more than 20 years, Pérez — who’s also worked at Melody/Fonovisa, Univision, Universal Music Latina, Capitol Latin — has played a key role in the careers of such global stars as Andrea Bocelli, J Balvin, Karol G, Maria Becerra, Myke Towers, Paulina Rubio and Sebastián Yatra. He’s also worked closely with artists in the Música Mexicana market, including Alejandro Fernández, Jenni Rivera, Los Tigres del Norte, Banda El Recodo and Ana Bárbara.
The stage is set for Latin music’s biggest celebration. The finalists for the highly anticipated 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards will be revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 10) at 9:45 a.m. ET through Billboard and Telemundo.com.
