Miami, FL (June 16, 2026) – Carlos Vives is featured on the cover of Billboard Español, adding another milestone to a career that has transformed Latin music and elevated Colombian culture on the world stage. For the cover feature, the Colombian icon joined Juanes, Camilo, and Fonseca for a special Father’s Day story, which will be celebrated in the United States on Sunday, June 21.
The Billboard Español recognition comes on the heels of Vives’ standout performance at the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Miami Kickoff Watch Party & Concert, the city’s official celebration marking the beginning of the world’s largest sporting event.
Held at Lummus Park on Miami Beach, the event brought together soccer fans, community leaders, visitors, and special guests for a large-scale beachfront celebration surrounding the opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2026. As the featured performer, Vives delivered an unforgettable live concert that reflected Miami’s deep connection to Latin culture, music, and the global spirit of the tournament.
Vives’ recent momentum also includes the successful conclusion of the first leg of his acclaimed Tour al Sol, which wrapped on June 5 with a triumphant performance at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan. In another major milestone during a highly successful moment in his career, the artist reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts with his song “Te Dedico,” the lead single from his new album, El Último Disco Vol. 1.
