Becky G will perform as part of the “Chicas Poderosas” (Powerful Girls) concert, presented by Disney, and also featuring Zendaya, among other acts.

This year’s fest is focused on the new Latin generation, and the theme is reflected in the musical performances, which also include appearances by Gabriel Coronel, Las Fenix, Priscila Angel and Mexican singer Mane de la Parra.

Also performing is Christian singer Jaci Velasquez, who has recently forayed once again into the Latin market. Other celebrities taking part in the two-day family fest include boxer Saul Canelo Alvarez and TV personality Don Francisco.

Last year’s People en Español fest included performances by Prince Royce, Gloria Estefan and Wisin & Yandel.
