Firing up the "Premios Tu Mundo" stage is Colombian singer Juanes, who was named by the Los Angeles Times "the single most important figure of the past decade in Latin pop music." Juanes won global appeal singing solely in his native language and has become one of the biggest and most important popular Latin music artist in the world.

Bringing the urban sounds are Alexis & Fido and Yandel. Popular Puerto Rican reggaeton duo, Alexis & Fido, also known as "Los Pitbulls," "El Duo Sobrenatural" and "Los Profesores Del Perreo," released their fifth studio album earlier this year titled La Esencia. Puerto Rican singer and producer Yandel rose to fame as part of the successful duo Wisin y Yandel. He is on a fast ascending solo career now and will perform at Premios Tu Mundo with his brother El General Gadiel.

Also performing is iconic rock band La Ley, which recently announced their comeback and launched a new album titled Retour. Led by singer Beto Cuevas, the group's new album includes a compilation of their greatest hits, as well as new tracks.

The beloved Puerto Rican singer-songwriter will be part of a five-person juding panel that ultimately selects "el artista" after 13 grueling weeks of competition. New York-born, Puerto Rican multi-award winning Merengue singer Elvis Crespo first gained fame in the mid-90s when he joined Grupo Mania. His solo debut album in 1998Suavemente was a worldwide hit.
