Brazilian Pop superstar, Anitta, whose single "Me Gusta" feat. Cardi B and Myke Towers just debuted at No.5 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and three-time Grammy winning songwriter, producer and lead singer of the multi- platinum band OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder, will partake in a one-on-one conversation about working together on Anitta's forthcoming album, Girl From Rio, and much more. Puerto Rican rapper and Billboard Latin Music Awards finalist Anuel AA will be joined by his close friend, Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx, to talk about their upcoming joint music and film projects, including a documentary on Anuel's life, produced by Anuel, Foxx, and RD Whittington.
