“¡Q’VIVA! LIVE is about feeling, passion, and love.  It not only unites the raw talent discovered in Latin America on a world class stage but also fuses together the different rhythms, textures, and artistic styles found throughout the region,” added Anthony.

King noted, “These authentic and vibrant performers were selected from a pool of thousands of Latin artists we scouted from 21 countries. Our final selection of 50 performers represents the best of Latin artistry, music and dance.”
