Today, March 4, two of the biggest names in Latin music, Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, have announced a joint world tour. 

The GRAMMY winners will launch the historic tour on Sept. 5 in Phoenix and will stop in more than 20 cities, including Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, Houston and New York. 

Martin and Iglesias have been friends since the start of Igelsias' career and have thought about going on the road together for some time.

"We always spoke and we always stayed in contact and we thought that this would happen at some point," Iglesias said at a joint press conference in West Hollywood, Calif. "We didn't know exactly when, and I think we are in that point in our lives and our careers. We're going to have fun."

Martin said the two, who have each amassed several awards and number one hits, will go down memory lane and bring audiences together. 

The tour marks the first time Martin, who is currently on his Movimiento tour, has ever toured with another artist. Iglesias, who launched his career in the mid-'90s (shortly after Martin had established himself as a boy band member-turned-soloist), says he knows he will learn a lot from the "La Mordidita" singer. 

"I'm going to sit back watch and learn," he said.

The tour is still in its production stages so Martin and Iglesias did not have much to share about what fans can expect, but they could confirm that it would include new music and even teased a possible duet. (Iglesias is working on the follow-up to 2014's Sex And Love, which will be released later this year, and Martin says he likes to "improvise a lot" in his live shows.) 

"This is a moment in Latin music that is special," Iglesias said. "It's going to happen now. We don't know if it's going to happen again ever, so we want to enjoy it."

Martin said they would be joined by incredible musicians on tour and that fans should get ready to enjoy themselves: "Get ready to have a good time and just forget about all the issues."

The two superstars will have GRAMMY-nominated Colombian star Sebastian Yatra on tour with them. Yatra, who was also at the press conference and will release a song with Martin soon, said they are his biggest idols and visualized a moment like this for a long time. 

Presale for the tour begins March 11. More info here.

Ricky Martin On The Need For More LGBTQ+ Visibility, Forthcoming Album ‘Play’ & Feeling Like A “Proud Papa” To Younger Latinx Artists

As Ricky Martin prepares to finish his 11th studio album, he reflects on his trailblazing career, his experience as a gay Latin pop star and shares details behind upcoming tour with Enrique Iglesias

Ricky Martin is pressing "play" on his music career again after 2020’s PAUSA. The Puerto Rican icon hasn’t released an LP since 2015’s A Quien Quiera Escuchar but released his EP last year, teasing fans who have been waiting for a longer musical comeback. His upcoming album, aptly titled Play, will feature his newest single "Qué Rico Fuera" featuring Chilean-American singer Paloma Mami. In the neon-lit music video, the premier Latin pop star dances through the streets like no time has passed since his launch with Menudo in the ‘80s. The alluring song embraces today’s most popular sounds blending Latin pop music with influences of reggaeton and Afro-beats. The rhythms, he says, are influenced by his DNA.

"[Play is about] going back to my culture and having fun with what I am made of," Martin tells GRAMMY.com. "When we talk about Puerto Rico, we have so many different cultural influences. We have Africa. We have the Anglo influence. I've never been a purist. All I want to do is create fusion and that's where we are today."

Martin reveals fans will have to wait a little longer to hear Play as he's still working on what is to be his 11th studio album. But there’s already something to mark—in November, he will celebrate 30 years of his first solo release, 1991's self-titled LP. The album helped Martin conquer the Latin music world and in 1999, he became a trailblazer in globalizing Latinx culture with his crossover smash "Livin' La Vida Loca." The sultry banger impressively earned him Record of the Year, Best Pop Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance nominations at the 2000 GRAMMY Awards Show. Following his success in both the English and Spanish-language markets, Martin is one of the rare unicorns to have earned both a GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY—he's collected 2 GRAMMYs and 4 Latin GRAMMYs.

Martin’s influence is so wide that when he came out as gay in 2010, it became a cultural touchstone for LGBTQ+ representation in the Latinx community. As he continues to celebrate global success, Latin music artists generations after him get to see that attitudes are changing in a historically machista culture and that they can have a career being their authentic selves after coming out, too.

In an interview over Zoom, Martin talked about collaborating with Paloma Mami, his fall co-headlining tour with Enrique Iglesias, and his legacy in Latin music.

What was the experience like to work with Paloma Mami for "Que Rico Fuera"?

It was amazing. But to be honest, we met the day we shot the video, and that's how it goes nowadays. I'm a little bit obsessed with her. I love her attitude. I love her approach. I love her talent. I love how she's taking the bull by the horns. She's young and I have a lot of hope in this great generation of young artists that are popping out. When it comes to music, I just love what she does. At the end of the day, it's about being open to ideas. It doesn't matter where they're coming from. To be open-minded. That's what I do and I love working like that.

Like "Vente Pa' Ca" and "La Mordidita," it's also a very sensual song.

Yeah! Sex sells and I'm not afraid of that. Everybody can relate, I think. It’s one of those things. [laughs] One thing is sensuality. One thing is sexuality. Let's mix them both. When I walk onstage, I bring my culture with me. I'm Latino and we're not afraid of playing with our sexuality, so that's important. Why run away from that?

Christina Aguilera was another woman you worked with. “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely” turned 20 this year. What do you remember about that collaboration?

Every time I talk about Christina, it brings a smile [to my face] because I think it was a very powerful track. Her delivery, her performance like always was beautiful. Then I had the opportunity to revive the song with my residency in Vegas. I called her and I said, “Baby, I’m going to revive this song, and I would love to shoot a video for you to be there with me while I sing.” She was like, “I’m ready, Ricky. Let’s do this and let’s do it right.” And because of that video, I think it’s one of those songs that I will keep alive as much as I can. 

How did you come up with the idea for the joint tour with Enrique Iglesias?

It had to be now. Not before. This is the time because we both really want to do this. This is not a strategic thing. We talked about this, and we agree on the fact that, at this point, we just feel free in many ways. Imagine a tour with Enrique. His music. My music. People get ready because it's going to be all about dancing. No ballads in this concert. It's about celebrating life, especially after what we've been through.

You're an artist that's won both GRAMMYs and Latin GRAMMYs awards. How do you feel about that?

It's extremely important for me. When people say, "I didn't win, but it's ok." No, no, no. It's important to win. [laughs] It's important to win and it's important to be recognized by your colleagues. It's all the producers in the industry, engineers and composers. It's beautiful to feel the support from people within the industry. I think I’m at six [GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMYs] now. It's really cool. I felt very protected by the [Recording] Academy for many years now and it's still the same. Let’s see what happens. This is only the beginning. Let’s do this. 

It's Pride month and I was wondering if you had a message for your fans in the LGBTQ+ community.

Everybody just be. Just be. Be happy. And it just feels amazing to also feel protected by an amazing community. I became a better person when I was able to be transparent. And for those out there that are still struggling with their identity, I just wish you the best. Everything's going to be good.

What I loved about the Latin GRAMMYs last year was that in the Big Three categories (Song, Record, and Album of the Year), there was you, Kany García, Pablo Alborán, and Jesse y Joy's Joy Huerta. There was a lot of LGBTQ+ representation.

There is a lot of representation, but we want more! This is what's so important about me posting pictures with my family and posting pictures with my husband [Jwan Yosef] because it's about visibility. It's important to normalize families like mine. It feels good. There's a lot that needs to be done. We've taken solid steps, but because of these very beautiful and positive steps, we're also feeling a lot of resistance from people that just don't understand the way we love. So we just have to practice compassion and move forward, but be firm and proud.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of your first solo album. What have you learned about yourself in that time?

That it's important to change. I'm happy to say I'm not doing the same kind of music that I was doing 10 years ago. It's important to evolve. That's why I keep going back to the importance of walking into the studio or creating a very beautiful creative process with people from different generations and different cultural backgrounds. That's one of the things I don't want to change. I've always been very open to that.

In Menudo, my introduction into the music business, I was pretty much told what to do, how to sing, what to say, and how to answer questions. It was good in the sense that I was disciplined, but then it was about going within and finding the emotions and stories to talk about. And apparently people can relate to my stories. They can relate to my sounds. I'm very thankful.

How do you feel to see Latin music being so global now?

It has always been global! [laughs] I know what you mean. It just takes me back to when I was experiencing that very beautiful crossover in the early 2000s. And here we are again with everything that's happening with Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and all these monsters that are doing amazing things for music. It is amazing that they don't have to record in English to be accepted because people are used to the sound of different languages now with all this streaming and for music from all over the world to be so accessible. Obviously language is not an issue anymore. It just feels great. It feels great to see them enjoying and surfing this wave. To see this young generation being so in tune with their needs, it's very special. I feel like a proud papa.

1999: The Year Latin Pop Conquered America

Facebook Twitter Email
1999 saw an unprecedented dominance of Latin pop sounds in American music, opening the public's ears to multilingual songwriting
Brian Haack
GRAMMYs
Oct 6, 2017 - 3:15 pm

The U.S. music scene in 1999 saw an unprecedented surge in the popularity of Latin pop.

Hispanic artists and various elements of Latin sounds dominated the charts to such an extent that by the end of the year even artists with no Latin heritage to speak of were looking to capitalize on the movement by recording Spanish-language versions of their singles in hopes of activating the crossover market.

Sure, there were prior Latin crossover rumblings — remember Dru's Hill's 1998 Latin-inflected Top 3 hit "How Deep Is Your Love" from Rush Hour? But most argue that it all started with Ricky Martin.

Ricky Martin

"It was completely sudden, and it had a lot to do with Ricky. After his performance at the GRAMMYs, everyone was on alert, so to speak, and expecting his new album. The first hit, of course, was "Livin' La Vida Loca" with that sensational video. I think that was the beginning." — Leila Cobo, executive director of Latin content and programming, Billboard

As a young man, Martin came to prominence between the ages of 12 and 17 as a member of the GRAMMY-nominated boy band Menudo. The Puerto Rico native was also a successful actor and solo recording artist before he burst onto the U.S. music scene in 1999. In the '90s, he acted in TV series such as "General Hospital" and "Getting By," telenovelas and stage plays, and he'd released four successful Spanish-language albums.

Martin won his first career GRAMMY — Best Latin Pop Performance for Vuelve — at the 41st GRAMMY Awards in 1999, but it was his show-stopping performance of "La Copa De La Vida" that same year that made it clear something big was on the horizon.

Martin's "Livin La Vida Loca" was released one month after his spectacular GRAMMY performance, and quickly became his first-ever No. 1 charting single, holding the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks. 

The singer's self-titled fifth solo album — his English debut — was released two months later, and hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 almost immediately. The most successful album of Martin's career, it has gone on to sell well over 15 million copies worldwide. Needless to say, 1999 was a big year for the Puerto Rican pop star.

Leila Cobo, executive director of Latin content and programming for Billboard, was working as Miami Herald's pop music critic at the time, recalls one event that served as an interesting tell sign.

"I went to cover [the signing] and found a line of hysterical girls at 11 a.m. on a school day that went on for blocks," she says. "I had never seen anything like this, ever."

Writing for Billboard roughly a month after "Livin La Vida Loca" hit store shelves, Michael Paoletta, now executive producer, A&R and music supervision for Comma Music, commented prophetically, "In the weeks since [the GRAMMYs], it seems like every record label exec has been in a heated search for the next Latin hottie."

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez had worked as a successful dancer and actress during the '90s, notably appearing as a Fly Girl on Keenan and Damon Wayans' sketch comedy and variety show "In Living Color." In 1997 Lopez earned a huge breakthrough in the leading role as GRAMMY-winning Tejano singer Selena in the titular biopic about her life and tragic death. The Bronx native's performance in the film was lauded by critics and fans alike, putting her in the entertainment spotlight and at the same time making her ripe to become the breakout female star to help propel the Latin pop movement.

Lopez's debut single, "If You Had My Love," was released in May 1999, just a week before Martin's self-titled album hit the shelves, arriving at the perfect time to sate the appetites of stateside listeners. The single climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the best-selling singles in the U.S. for 1999. Lopez's first studio album, On The 6, released a few weeks later, also skyrocketed, debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and ultimately earning triple-platinum status.

"Waiting For Tonight," the second radio single from On The 6, would go on to be nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 42nd GRAMMY Awards.

The same month that saw Lopez release On The 6 also saw another well-established Latin pop star blow up in the U.S.

Enrique Iglesias

Enrique Iglesias had previously won his first GRAMMY for Best Latin Pop Performance for his first self-titled 1995 studio album. The Spanish singer also came from an impressive musical pedigree, being the son of GRAMMY-winning Latin pop crooner Julio Iglesias.

"Bailamos," the junior Iglesias' inaugural English language release, was selected for the 1999 blockbuster action flick Wild Wild West, thanks in part to a request from GRAMMY winner Will Smith. The single would top the Billboard Hot 100 and become an immense success, eventually selling more than 5 million copies worldwide.

Almost certainly the biggest success story of the 1999 Latin pop explosion, however, was to be the eponymous band led by then-52-year-old guitar god Carlos Santana.

Santana

"We connected with hip-hoppers. … We connected with middle white America, we connected with Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia. It's like the Champs-Elysées in Paris: This CD is connected to all the streets." — Carlos Santana on Supernatural, 1999

When Santana's 17th studio album, Supernatural, was released in 1999, the group had been playing live together for longer than the likes of Martin, Lopez and Iglesias had been alive. The album's lead single, "Smooth," featuring Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, was an absolute phenomenon that year. It spent an astonishing 12 weeks in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Santana's first chart-topping song.

For The Record: Carlos Santana

Supernatural would net Santana a total of eight GRAMMYs at the 42nd GRAMMY Awards, including Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album, with "Smooth" taking home Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. Commercially, Supernatural would eventually sell more than 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Due to its equally strong chart performance, "Smooth" would be the final song of the decade to stand atop the Hot 100.

The Latin GRAMMY Awards

Following the incredible explosion of Latin pop music in 1999, the year 2000 heralded the inception of the Latin GRAMMY Awards, hosted by the Latin Recording Academy, which was established in 1997 as a counterpart to the Recording Academy.

Nuyorican Marc Anthony would become the first artist to take home the inaugural Latin GRAMMY for Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "I Need To Know (Dímelo)," from his Top 10 1999 self-titled album.

While some later argued that the 1999 Latin explosion was a brief high-gloss blip on the pop culture radar, its impact cannot be underestimated. The 2000s and beyond have seen a steady stream of Latin artists dent the Billboard charts — including Shakira, Juanes, Luis Fonsi, J Balvin, and Nicky Jam, among others. The past year has seen the continuing dominance of Latin sounds in the modern pop scene, with crossover hits such as Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" serving as but one example.

And the Latin GRAMMY Awards has emerged as The Biggest Night in Latin Music, honoring top Latin music talent and featuring top-shelf performances that thrill millions worldwide — a testament to the staying power of Latin music.

"To have a song in Spanish, and to be in the top of the Hot 100, that's something that rarely happens," Fonsi told CNN regarding "Despacito." "I'm just very proud that Latin music has grown so much and people are just really connecting to it."
