Billboard’s Forum on Spanish Language Music in Madrid: Best Photos
Inside the first Forum on Spanish Language Music in Madrid, presented by the Community of Madrid and powered by Billboard.
The one day, invite-only event — attended by some 500 artists, managers and industry execs — sought to highlight the growing consumption of music in Spanish across continents, and featured four panel conversations, as well as a Q&A and performance by Argentine superstar Nicki Nicole. The forum focused on the new generation of cross-continent, cross-genre, cross-focus Latin acts who are now dominating the charts and the fact that Madrid is an epicenter of that fluidity. Spanish icon Raphael had a one-on-one conversation with Leila Cobo; artists La Mala Rodríguez, Yotuel, Maikel Delacalle and Paula Cendejas sat down for a discussion on the current state of music; followed by an interview with conductor Luis Cobos, president of the newly minted Spanish Academy of Music.
