Camila Cabello & Kali Uchis to Be Honored at Billboard Latin Women in Music 2024

Camila Cabello and Kali Uchis will be honored at the 2024 Billboard Latin Women in Music, Billboard and Telemundo announced on Thursday (May 23). The show will air exclusively on Telemundo on Sunday, June 9, at 9 p.m. ET, and will be simultaneously available on the Telemundo app and Peacock.

This celebration, which highlights the efforts of Latin women musicians who are "proactively working for positive change, inclusion and gender parity in the music industry," will see the megastar of Cuban and Mexican roots receive the Global Impact award, and the Colombian-American singer the Rising Star award.

"Singer-songwriter Camila Cabello's success and contributions have earned her the honor of Global Impact, which recognizes female artists who have an exceptional ability to connect with audiences worldwide, not only through their music but also by positively influencing popular culture, as well as serving as ambassadors of Latin culture on a global scale," reads the official press release, noting that the singer of "Havana" and "Señorita" has used her voice not only to create great hits worldwide, but to promote important issues that she is passionate about such as immigration, diversity, mental health and female empowerment.

Among other projects, Cabello has partnered with This Is About Humanity and Miami Freedom Project to host community events for new immigrant families in Miami, and has raised half a million dollars with Equality Florida and Lambda Legal to combat harmful legislation in Florida targeting the LGBTQ+ community. She also launched the Healing Justice Project to provide mental health resources to BIPOC organizers across the country advancing racial, immigrant, and environmental justice.

Uchis, meanwhile, "has quickly climbed the charts since releasing her first album in 2018," the statement continues, "earning her this year's Rising Star honor, a recognition and celebration of an emerging talent's success in growing their musical prowess and solidifying their place in the industry."

The singer, songwriter and record producer has successfully alternated between English and Spanish-language projects, while defying music genres with music that blends elements of R&B, neo-soul, pop, and Latin rhythms. Her smash hit "telepatía" from her debut album Isolation has amassed over 2 billion streams and is the Billboard Hot 100 longest-running Spanish song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak.

Cabello and Uchis join a list of previously announced honorees for this year that include Gloria Estefan (Legend award), Ana Bárbara (Lifetime Achievement award), Ángela Aguilar (Musical Dynasty) and Kany García (Spirit of Change).

In the coming weeks, additional honorees and details will be announced for the second annual Billboard Latin Women in Music ceremony, which will be hosted by actress Jacqueline Bracamontes.
