The Powerful Women of Billboard Latin Music Week 2025: Gloria Estefan, Laura Pausini, Ivy Queen & More

The 2025 edition of Billboard Latin Music Week is set to shine a spotlight on the powerful women shaping the future of Latin music. Whether legends or rising stars, these ladies are breaking barriers, defying stereotypes, and reshaping success in the global music industry. Kicking off Oct 20 in Miami, this year’s program will offer fans, creators and industry folks alike an inside look at their journeys and creative processes.

At the staple Women’s Panel, attendees will have an exclusive look at how bright talents are navigating the international stage and driving Latin music into the future — starring Spain’s Aitana, Colombia’s Ela Taubert, and Mexico’s Silvana Estrada, alongside breakout stars Dominican sensation Yailin La Más Viral and Argentina’s Yami Safdie.

Legends will also share their wisdom, including Italian superstar Laura Pausini who will recount her groundbreaking career during an intimate conversation. She will be honored with the Icon Award at this year’s Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Fans can also look forward to an iconic session featuring Gloria Estefan, the first major Latin “crossover” artist, alongside her husband and cultural ambassador, Emilio Estefan. Together, the Estefans will discuss how they have shaped the sound and scope of Latin music while opening doors for generations of artists to follow.

Then, the Queen of Reggaetón Ivy Queen alongside Dominican trailblazer Tokischa will tackle the battle against stereotypes for women in Latin music. Meanwhile, Colombian-American superstar Kali Uchis will offer an intimate look into her artistry as she continues to push boundaries as a bilingual hitmaker.
