The Rise of Latin Music

The music genre made future stars, thanks to Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's worldwide No. 1 "Despacito."

Latinx artists are getting known all over the globe, led by Puerto Rican Bad Bunny and his new version of "I Like It Like That" that topped the Hot 100 chart.

Latin music keeps on catching the notice of many as its artists are getting known all over Latin America and the U.S. with different types of music.

Getting Heard All Over the World

ASCAP President Paul Williams spoke in a kick off video to thank the artists for their work in music.

"Latin music - your music - is one of the most popular in the world. This is because their rhythms, their passion, honesty, and deep love for their traditions and the gift of breaking barriers speak to all of us equally - no matter what language we speak," Williams said.

He sent his best wishes to the winners and wished for their safety during the pandemic.

In May, ASCAP said it will honor the artists of the most famous music last year by doing four online events for the first time.
