Social Media Roundup: Carlos Vives, Salma Hayek, Maluma & More Share Latino Pride
This week on social media, a few Latino stars expressed their pride and love of Latin culture and their native countries through photos and videos.
Roselyn Sánchez not only shared her Puerto Rican pride but also shared her support of fellow Puerto Rican star Lin-Manual Miranda and their shared dance skills.
The "Devios Maids" actress shared a throwback video of the two dancing on the streets of New York during the 2015 Puerto Rican day parade. The video was originally shared by another Instagram user and the actress reposted it.
"I'm beyond proud of Lin Manuel for this new accomplishment... What a talent he is" she captioned the photo.
Actress Gina Rodriguez also shared a video on her Instagram account showing off her dance skills.
The "Jane The Virgin" actress posted a video of her and a friend dancing to the popular salsa tune "Te Conozco Bacalao" by Puerto Rican singer Hector Lavoe.
The actress has proven herself to be quite the skilled dancer and shares videos like this with her fans often.
Salma Hayek revealed her love of traditional Mexican music with a photo of the special treat her husband, François-Henri Pinault, organized for Valentine's Day.
On Feb. 15, the Mexican-American actress shared a photo with a Mariachi band and captioned the photo with, "For Valentine's Day my husband sent Mariachi to my hotel in New York to serenade me. He knows my heart."
Perhaps the biggest showcase of Latino pride came from the stars who took part in honoring Colombian music veteran Carlos Vives at Premio lo Nuestro 2016 on Feb. 18.
The singer, who received an award for excellence in music, took the stage to perform some of his most popular hit songs with a variety of performers from different musical genres.
However, despite their different musical styles, they all shared the same Colombian roots and expressed their pride while honoring Vives' iconic career.
Vives was joined on stage by Colombian singers Juanes, Fonseca, Jorge Celedón, Silvestre Dangond, reggaeton artists J Balvin and Maluma and Colombian group ChocQuibTown.
J Balvin, Juanes, Maluma and a few others posted a group shot of all the Colombian performers during rehearsals for the award show.
On his Instagram account, Vives shared a photo of the group of Colombian artists on stage and videos from the actual award ceremony that featured all the artists that joined him on stage.
On his own social media accounts, Maluma shared a more personal video about Latino pride, where he expresses his pride in working for the American dream.
The video, which he shared in full on Facebook on Feb. 17, was part of a Premio lo Nuestro advertising campaign.
The star discuss the sacrifices he's made to be a music star and expresses his longing for his family, home and favorite foods from his native Colombia.
