Fuerza Regida was the real deal at Premios Juventud, making their presence felt with their chart-busting hit single “Sabor Fresa”. Lead vocalist JOP was the picture of confidence donning a crisp white outfit and signature sunglasses as the band rocked out to the rapturous sounds of tubas. His passionate lyrics – “Me gusta la plebada, con fresitas operadas” – reverberated through the venue, enthralling audiences in attendance.
Indeed, Fuerza Regida have earned quite the accolade; “Sabor Fresa” is the band’s highest-debuting single on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs Chart debuting at No. 3 and currently sitting at No. 5, earning its place amongst the Billboard Global 200 at No. 35. It’s clear that Fuerza Regida are here to stay and taking the world by storm.
The Puerto Rican five-piece band, Otra Peda, is making waves with their summer tour. Last weekend, they sold out the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, and welcomed trouble with the law—just like classic rock stars in a modern world. Frontman JOP drove fans wild with his declaration: “They go to turn up, not to be bored. I love drinking too much on tour.”
Now, the band graces the June issue of Billboard Español as this year’s Premios Juventud celebrates its 20th anniversary. Co-hosted by Alejandra Espinoza and Angela Aguilar, the ceremony brings an array of new categories that reflect the hottest trends in Latin music, such as best song for my ex, best urban track and best urban mix. Furthermore, Shakira and Camila Cabello have been awarded the special “Agent of Change” award joining past awardees such as Jesse & Joy, Maluma and Daddy Yankee.
