Rafael Amaya (El Señor de los Cielos) is without a doubt one of the best-known actors in television today, with a career that includes starring roles in successful TELEMUNDO original productions, theater, English and Spanish-language movies, and European television series. The leading man, who has also served as co-host of “The Billboard Mexican Music Awards,” “The Billboard Latin Music Awards,” and the first-ever broadcast of “Premios Tu Mundo,” starred earlier this year in the fourth season of the Super Series “El Señor de los Cielos”. The Mexican actor achieved crossover success in the Hallmark TV film “Meddling Mom,” the third-highest audience-rated production in the network’s history. Rafael has also diversified beyond acting, producing his first movie, “Paco & Santo vs. América” in 2009 and recently launching his first clothing line, Rafael Amaya Western Style.
Internationally-acclaimed Mexican star Aracely Arámbula has an artistic career that spans more than 15 years as an actress, host and singer. She has starred in dozens of highly-rated novelas in Mexico and around the world, such as “Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma” “Cañaveral de Pasiones” “Pueblo Chico Infierno Grande” “El Alma no tiene Color” and “Soñadoras.” She had her first leading antagonist role on “Rencor Apasionado” in 1998 and two years later she played her first leading role in “Abrázame muy Fuerte”.
Carlos Ponce, who will also perform at the event, is an internationally recognized Puerto Rican actor, singer-songwriter and host. He got his first role on TELEMUNDO’s soap opera “Guadalupe,” and his first leading role in the Mexican telenovela “Sentimientos Ajenos,” where he also sang the theme song. His self-titled debut album, “Carlos Ponce,” held the #1 spot for nine weeks in the Latin Billboard charts. In the “Billboard Hot Latin Tracks,” Carlos reached # 1 with “Rezo” and “Decir Adios.” He crossed over with guest starring roles on “Beverly Hills 90210,” “7th Heaven” and “Once and Again.” Most recently, he was on Nickelodeon’s “Hollywood Heights” and Eva Longoria’s “Telenovela,” and did voices for “FREE BIRDS” and “RIO.” He also joined forces with Disney in “The Pirate Fairy” and with ABC in the primetime hit comedy “Cristela”.
