CELEBRITIES
How Much Does It Cost to Hire Your Favorite Latino Celebrity?
Whether you’re planning a lavish wedding, birthday celebration, corporate gala, grand opening, quinceañera, or private concert, you’ve probably already booked the venue, caterer, florist, DJ, mariachi band, photographer, photo booth, and entertainment. But if you really want to create an unforgettable event, why not surprise your guests with a celebrity appearance?
Many of today’s biggest Latin music, film, and television stars are available for private performances and appearances—provided your budget can accommodate them.
Hollywood Latino has compiled estimated booking fee ranges for many of the biggest names in Latino entertainment. These figures are based on talent booking industry estimates and may vary depending on the artist’s availability, event type, location, travel requirements, production costs, and current demand. Final pricing is typically negotiated through the artist’s management or booking agency. (celebritytalent.net)
At the top of the list are global superstars Bruno Mars and Bad Bunny, whose private performance fees are estimated to range from $2.5 million to $6 million. Bruno Mars—born Peter Gene Hernandez and proudly of Puerto Rican heritage—remains one of the most sought-after entertainers in the world. (celebritytalent.net)
Also commanding one of the industry’s highest booking fees is Daddy Yankee, whose estimated private performance price now starts around $2 million, reflecting his legendary status and worldwide demand even after announcing his retirement from touring. (celebritytalent.net)
On the opposite end of the spectrum, stars such as Erik Estrada, Amaury Nolasco, and Kat DeLuna can reportedly be booked for $7,500 to $15,000, making celebrity appearances more attainable than many people might imagine.
Keep in mind that these are estimated starting ranges. Special events such as New Year’s Eve parties, destination weddings, major corporate events, and international appearances can significantly increase an artist’s fee.

‘Buena Vista Social Club’ Brings Cuba’s Musical Legacy to Life on Broadway
One of the most celebrated stories in Latin music has found a new home on Broadway. Buena Vista Social Club, inspired by the Grammy Award-winning 1997 album and the acclaimed documentary, transforms the legendary Cuban musicians’ journey into a moving theatrical experience filled with unforgettable music, dance, and storytelling.
Set in Havana, the production celebrates the artists who introduced millions around the world to traditional Cuban son, bolero, danzón, and guajira music. Audiences are treated to live performances of beloved classics including “Chan Chan,” “Dos Gardenias,” “Candela,” and “El Cuarto de Tula,” performed by a world-class Afro-Cuban band and cast.
Rather than simply recreating the documentary, the musical explores the lives, friendships, and resilience of iconic performers including Omara Portuondo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Rubén González, and Eliades Ochoa. Their stories highlight the enduring power of music to preserve culture, overcome hardship, and unite people across generations.
Since opening on Broadway, Buena Vista Social Club has earned widespread critical acclaim for its authentic performances, vibrant choreography, and emotional depth. The production stands as both a tribute to Cuba’s extraordinary musical heritage and a celebration of Latino artistry on one of the world’s most prestigious stages, ensuring these timeless songs continue to captivate new audiences.

Fat Joe Brings Bronx Flavor to the Podcast World
Rapper and entrepreneur Fat Joe has expanded his media presence with Joe and Jada, a podcast co-hosted with fellow hip-hop legend Jadakiss. Released twice a week, the show features unfiltered conversations about music, sports, business, and pop culture, along with interviews featuring artists, athletes, and entertainers. Recent Latino guests include Puerto Rican rapper Eladio Carrión, while previous episodes have featured stars such as Cardi B, DJ Khaled, N.O.R.E., Mýa, and Remy Ma.
The audio version of Joe and Jada is available through iHeartRadio and all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Full video episodes are now also available on Netflix through iHeartMedia’s exclusive video podcast partnership, giving the show an even broader audience.
Before Joe and Jada, Fat Joe found success during the pandemic with The Joprah Show, an interview series executive produced by his then-14-year-old daughter, Azariah Cartagena. The show featured high-profile guests including Jamie Foxx, Dr. Oz, and Eric B., and attracted sponsors such as Fanmio and Cîroc. A curated selection of those interviews later aired weekly on REVOLT TV as The Fat Joe Show, further establishing Fat Joe as a compelling interviewer and media personality beyond his legendary music career.
Latino Vote for Biden and Trump
Latino celebrities endorse all kinds of products like clothing, cosmetics, and other brands, but when it comes to politics many either band with the community they grew up in, follow whatever their parents supported growing up, or consciously created a view of their own.
Some issues that can sway a Latino vote could be immigration, education, employment or the lack of inclusion of Afro-Latinos, which consist of 25% of the Latino in the United States . In many cases Latino’s will look to some voices in the community, whether a pastor, friend, media and possibly a celebrity endorsement.
In the last few elections, many mainstream Latino celebrities have come out to voice their support for a candidate. Rosario Dawson and Wilmer Valderama support the Vote Latino movement, while John Leguizamo has his NGL Collective which supports a Progressive platform and actress singer Maria Conchita Alonso, Jose Luis Rodriguez's daughers Liliana Rodríguez and Lilibeth Morillo and actor Eduardo Verastegui who supports a Republican agenda.
Univision host of El Gordo y La Flaca Raul De Molina has hosted fundraisers in the past for Hillary Clinton and has posted photos with Joe Biden. Former Apprentice alumni Katrina Campins, a Cuban-American, is a full supporter of the Trump campaign creating a group called Latinas for Trump and signing up radio host and Congress candidate Ileana Garcia as well.
Other Trump supporters include: MMA fighter Tito Ortiz, former NY Yankees great Mariano Rivera, UFC Champ Jorge Masvidal, actor Lorenzo Lamas, and former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. Also due to his journalistic duties hasn't officially endorsed the President, but Geraldo Rivera has shown support for Trump.
Joe Biden supporters include an array of Latin superstars that include: Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez and singer Ricky Martin.
Although many believe that Latino’s in general vote blue, many beg to differ. President Donald Trump won almost a third of the Latino vote in 2016, according to a Pew Research. The Republican doesn’t only come from Cubans and Catholics, but from many party loyalist that don’t necessarily like President Trump, but rather voting Republican.
In 2016, 27 Million Latino’s, mostly millennials, we’re eligible to vote, up an outstanding 4 million from the previous election. These stats will change once the Census is complete and many sway voters that will switch for a various of reasons whether they’re in the service, BLM, or being a big fan of Marc Anthony.
Anthony actually tweeted his discontent about Trump, "What does it matter how much money you have when everything that comes out of your mouth isn't worth 2 cents?" The salsa singer has supported many Democratic candidates.
Despite the various opinions, in the recent first Presidential Debate, a Telemundo/Twitter showed that Trump did better in the debate with 66%. Telemundo presenter Jose Diaz-Balart also stated that this wasn't a "scientific poll".
Does a celebrities preach really help the vote? As they say, “every vote counts”.
We will have to see this coming Nov. 3, 2020. Last day to register to vote is October 5th.

Justina Machado is Rockin' Prime Time Television
As the saying says, "When it rains, it pours". Justina Machado is killing it on the 29th edition of Dancing With the Stars on ABC and also on the recent add to the CBS Monday night line up with One Day At A Time.
On DWTS Justina and dance partner Sasha Farber, every week take up the challenge whatever dance routine they need to do. One of our favorite was on 80s week, where Justina did the Flash dance song “Maniac” by Michael Sembello including the famous chair water splash scene from the movie.
We need to support Justina every week by texting JUSTINA to 21523 and going to DWTSVOTE.ABC.GO.com and vote up to 20 times, 10 by text, 10 online.
One Day At A Time broadcast every Monday on CBS at 9PM Eastern. The show is a remake of the 70s hit show, but now with a Latino family, that includes the legendary Rita Moreno. The remake of the show has had an interested trajectory starting first on Netflix then over to Pop Tv and now on CBS.
Producer Gloria Calderon Kellett told Deadline: "The lack of Latino representation is obviously disappointing. We’re used to it, sadly, but this year especially, there seem to be so many wonderful shows and so much great work that was actually made that just seemed to not be able to break through the noise of so many shows. It’s also a matter of marketing and money and things that smaller shows often don’t get a chance to participate in. So it was very gratifying to be able to at least get one award for a Latino show."
