Nathy Peluso and Young Miko Heat Up Latin Music Week 2023 Showcase with Their Impressive Performances

Nathy Peluso showcased her unrivaled style and lyrical prowess at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Week, held at Miami's Oasis club on October 4th. With a repertoire that spanned sultry bachata, brass-infused salsa, gripping rap verses, and even a cover of Camilo Sesto's "Vivir Así Es Morir De Amor," Nathy's performance was electric from start to finish. Dressed in a denim ensemble paired with black leather boots and a customized T-shirt, the artist treated the audience to hits like "Ateo," "Alabame," and her latest single, "Ella Tiene."

Billboard's Latin Rookie of the Year and the opening act, Young Miko, exuded confidence as she took the stage donning a vintage black Marilyn Monroe tee adorned with pink lettering that read, "Hollywood Is Hell." The young rapper delivered a dynamic set, featuring crowd favorites such as "Lisa," "Wiggy," "Riri," and the reggaetón track "Chulo Pt. 2." During her performance of the laid-back trap hit "Big Booty," a fan threw a pair of pink underwear onto the stage. Young Miko playfully twirled it as she continued to command the stage.

Earlier in the week, both artists participated in the "Boys No More!" panel, alongside Nicki Nicole, Kany García, María Becerra, and GALE. During the discussion, Nathy shared her journey in the male-dominated rap scene, stating, "When I started rapping, there weren't many women in the industry, and it was a challenge to carve out a space for myself. Today, we've come a long way, and I'm grateful for the efforts of my fellow female artists."

Young Miko added, "I discovered that Kany García and I are part of the same [LGBTQ+] community, which gave me the confidence to have an open conversation with my mother. Thankfully, times are changing. There's a more receptive audience today, one that seeks transformation."

Celebrating over three decades of music, the 2023 Latin Music Week featured a diverse lineup of events, including a Superstar Q&A with Shakira, a Legends on Legends chat with Chencho Corleone and Vico C, and a "Making the Hit Live!" session with Carin León and Pedro Capó. The program also included panels featuring RBD's Christian Chávez, Christopher von Uckermann, and Maite Perroni, as well as a Superstar Songwriter discussion with Edgar Barrera and Keityn, among many other informative sessions, Q&A sessions, and workshops. Notable showcases during this year's Latin Music Week included performances by Peso Pluma, Mike Bahía and Greeicy, DannyLux, and Fonseca, among others.

Official partners of the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Week included AT&T, Cheetos, CN Bank, Delta Air Lines, Lexus, Netflix, Michelob ULTRA, and Smirnoff.

Latin Music Week coincided with the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, which were broadcast live from the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida, on October 5th. The awards show was televised on Telemundo and also simulcast on Universo, Peacock, the Telemundo App, and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean on Telemundo Internacional.
