Calling them “coffee party,” Ferxxo crashed various coffee shops in the middle of the day and would play DJ while spinning some of his biggest hits, including his latest release “DALLAX” in collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.

Shakira Reacts to Billboard’s List
In other uplifting news, Shakira reacted to Billboard’s Best 50 Female Latin Pop Artists of All Time list, after realizing that she was picked No. 1 by the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. “This is an incredible honor,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram story. “Thank you for inspiring me to continue working in hopes to give you the best of me every day of my life.” On the ranked list, the Colombian global sensation is followed by Gloria Estefan, Selena, Celia Cruz, Karol G, Rocío Dúrcal, Ana Gabriel, Olga Tañón, Laura Pausini, and Mercedes Sosa.
From powerful ballads to timeless dance hits, the ranked list wrapped up Women’s History Month by honoring the extraordinary contributions of women and celebrating the female pioneers, visionaries, and stars who have defined Latin pop music.

Yandel on Fallon Tonight
Ahead of soon kicking off his Sinfónico U.S. Tour in Puerto Rico next month, Yandel made his late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon this week. Joined by a 15-member orchestra, the Puerto Rican artist performed a potent and passionate version of his reggaetón banger “Puño de Tito.” The unique performance is also in support of his new album Sinfónico (En Vivo) out April 3, where Yandel reimagines some of his career-defining songs — from “Abusadora” to “Rakata” — in a 29-track set recorded live in Miami with the Florida International University Symphony Orchestra.
