The 2021 iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina was back and in-person at the Amway Center in Orlando on Saturday (October 16), with Latin music’s biggest stars coming together for an unforgettable night to celebrate the heritage of the community.
Hosted by Enrique Santos, the eight-annual event brought the power of the iHeartRadio Music Festival to Latin music. Featuring star-studded performances by J Balvin, Winsin & Yandel, Prince Royce, Luis Fonsi, Natti Natasha, Zion & Lennox, Lunay, and Mariah Angeliq — who all delivered hit after hit in their incredible, high-energy sets — the event was live streamed exclusively by LiveOne, Inc’s subsidiary LiveXLive and broad
The most memorable moment from the night was when Luis Fonsi took the stage, as he stunned the audience with an array of hits before receiving with this year’s iHeartRadio Corazón Latino Award Presented by Ally. The 43-year-old entertainer, who was recognized for exemplifying his big heart through his selfless work in enhancing the lives, heritage and future of the Latin community, took the time to shout out a few Latin American countries, including Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico. He closed out his set with “Despacito,” wearing a Puerto Rican flag around his neck that was given to him by a fan in the crowd.
Other iconic moments from the show came from J Balvin, Prince Royce and Natti Natasha who had the crowd on their feet while dancing along to some of their biggest hits.
Natti Natasha got in the Halloween spirit for her performance, as the “Ram Pam Pam” singer dressed up as the Red Light, Green Light robot from the first episode of Squid Game, while her dancers dressed as the mysterious captors. While Prince Roycewas performing his recent single “Lao’ a Lao,” he adorably stumbled over the opening words. “It’s my new song, of course I don’t know it yet!” he told the crowd.
To top off an incredible evening, J Balvin performed “Mi Gente,” “Reggaeton,” “I Like It” and a few more of his biggest hits. He even brought out Zion & Lennox to help him for his grand finale!
