Morat Shines in Viña del Mar Debut, Wins Gold & Silver Gaviotas
Their fans had eagerly awaited since Tuesday (Feb. 25), when the event had to be canceled due to a massive blackout in Chile, and Morat did not disappoint. In their debut at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, the Colombian pop-rock band got the 'monster' of Quinta Vergara excited with a show full of energy and heart. On a luminous stage, the Bogota quartet comprised of Simón Vargas, Juan Pablo Isaza, Juan Pablo Villamil and Martín Vargas sounded impeccable as they performed hits like 'No Se Va,' 'Salir Con Vida,' 'Por Si No Te Vuelvo A Ver' and 'Amor Con Hielo,' which the audience sang along to from beginning to end, belting out the lyrics with emotion. It wasn't long before they were awarded the Gaviota de Plata (Silver Seagull) award, and in the end, they also took home the Gaviota de Oro (Gold Seagull), the highest honor given by the audience at the event. More from Billboard Sabrina Carpenter Opens 2025 Brit Awards With 'Espresso' & 'Bed Chem,' Accepts Global Success Honor Angie Stone, 'No More Rain (In This Cloud)' Singer & Co-Founder of The Sequence, Dies in Car Crash at 63 David Johansen, New York Dolls Frontman, Dead at 75 'You can't imagine how much we dreamed of being here,' one of the band members expressed just before receiving the Gaviota de Oro. 'Thank you, really. We love you with all our soul.' Morat's setlist also included 'París,' 'Llamada Perdida,' 'Besos En Guerra' and, for the big finale, 'La Policía.' 'How wonderful Viña, how wonderful!' the band exclaimed before ending their debut performance at the Chilean festival. 'You can't imagine the dream we are fulfilling here. Thank you so much for all the support, for all the love.' With hits including 'No Se Va,' 'Besos en Guerra' and 'Cuando Nadie Ve,' Morat debuted in 2016 with the album Solo el Amor y Sus Efectos Secundarios, and received a Latin Grammy nomination for best new artist the same year. Morat's fourth and latest LP, 2022's Si Ayer Fuera Hoy, gave the band their first entry on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart, peaking at No. 18. Later on Saturday, Sebastián Yatra returns to Quinta Vergara to close the festival. Yatra, with almost a dozen No. 1s on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart — including 'Robarte un Beso' with Carlos Vives, and 'Tacones Rojos' and 'Un Año' with Reik, to name a few — had previously performed in Viña del Mar in 2019 with a full show, as well as the previous year during Vives' concert, joining him on 'Robarte un Beso' — something he did again on Wednesday during Vives' performance. The 64th edition of the Viña del Mar Festival kicked off Sunday (Feb. 23) with a riveting set by Marc Anthony. Since then, artists like Myriam Hernández, Ha*Ash, Carlos Vives, Carín León, Incubus, Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo have performed at the Quinta Vergara. All nights are livestreamed in the United States online at Billboard and Billboard Español.

Carlos Vives Winds Through Biggest Hits at Viña Del Mar, Earns Gaviotas de Plata & Oro
After Viña del Mar postponed its Tuesday activities due to a massive blackout in Chile that left most of the country without power, the festival resumed on Wednesday (Feb. 26) with an electrifying performance by Carlos Vives. The Colombian superstar made his grand return to Viña — with his vibrant band La Provincia in tow — for a remarkable fifth time in his 30-year career, and seven years since his last performance there in 2018. Transporting the Quinta Vergara to his hometown of Santa Marta, Colombia, Vives took the stage shortly after 7:50 p.m. ET and kicked off with the vallenato anthem 'Pa' Mayte,' which of course got the entire audience on their feet. The accordion-powered track, one of Vives' earliest hits, definitely set the tone for the rest of the set, with the Latin Grammy-winning artist winding through his most iconic songs, including ''Ella Es Mi Fiesta,' 'Fruta Fresca,' 'La Gota Fría' and 'La Tierra del Olvido.' More from Billboard De La Rose, Whatuprg & More Emerging Latin Artists on Our Radar How to Watch Carlos Vives and Carín León Perform at Viña del Mar 2025 Here's Why the Winner of Shakira's Lamborghini Wants to Sell the Custom Car 'Good night, Viña,' Vives greeted the crowd — most often referred to as the monster for their high standards for festival performers. Looking like a total rockstar and working the entire stage singing, dancing and playing the harmonica, the 63-year-old hitmaker was in awe of the crowd's embrace. 'Where are the people who are going to ride the bike with me tonight? Where are the cumbia dancers?' The bike referencing 'La Bicicleta,' his song with Shakira, which he also performed tonight. For that specific song, he joined the crowd, at times dancing alongside fans. One of the most special moments of the night was when Vives returned to the crowd area to serenade his wife Claudia Elena Vásquez with 'Volví a Nacer,' his performance sealed with a passionate kiss. 'I want to share with you something very special, this song was composed during a difficult moment of my life,' he prefaced the song. 'We all spend difficult nights, but we know that the next day the sun rises. I composed this song for a person at a very special moment and from this song things changed in my life, and I want to dedicate it to everyone because I know that at some point we will all be born again.' 'Thank you Chile, thank you Latin America for these 30 years,' Vives said before the crowd awarded him the Gaviota de Plata. Shortly after, former Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo handed the singer his very own national team jersey — a special gift for the self-proclaimed soccer fan. In another emotional moment, Vives remembered his compadre Egidio Cuadrado, wishing him a heavenly birthday. His longtime accordionist, who would have turned 72 today, died in October. He went on to sing 'Carito,' which they wrote together. During that performance, a little girl dressed in a gorgeous dressed with the colors of the Colombian flag took the stage with Vives and showed off her dance moves, immediately stealing the spotlight. Right after receiving the Gaviota de Oro, Vives brought out fellow colombiano Sebastián Yatra to sing 'Robarte Un Beso.' Yatra returns to the amphitheater on Saturday (March 1) for his own set. Vives closed his riveting set with 'Cuando Nos Volvamos a Encontrar.' 'Thank you, Viña,' he expressed before leaving the Quinta Vergara stage. Later tonight, Mexican music star Carín León will close day three of the festival. On Thursday (Feb. 27), Viña will continue with Incubus, Juan Carlos López and The Cult; Feb. 28, urban night, with headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo; and, rescheduled from Tuesday night, on March 1 Colombia's Morat and Sebastián Yatra will close out this year's edition of Viña del Mar.

Grupo Firme Cancels Show in Mazatlán After Alleged Death Threats From Drug Cartel
Grupo Firme canceled a performance at a carnival scheduled for this Saturday (March 1) in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, after a message on a banner with alleged death threats attributed to a drug cartel appeared in its hometown of Tijuana. The regional Mexican music band confirmed on Wednesday (Feb. 26) the suspension of its concert in an official statement. 'We deeply regret informing you that the presentation of Grupo Firme for this March 1st at the Mazatlán Carnival is canceled,' reads the statement shared on the band's Instagram Stories. 'For Music VIP, the well-being of those who have accompanied us on this path — our family, which is you, our fans — is and will always be the most important thing. We hope to be able to meet again soon to sing, celebrate and continue making history together.' More from Billboard Carlos Vives Winds Through Biggest Hits at Viña Del Mar, Earns Gaviotas de Plata & Oro De La Rose, Whatuprg & More Emerging Latin Artists on Our Radar How to Watch Carlos Vives and Carín León Perform at Viña del Mar 2025 The cancelation of the show — originally announced as part of the Carnaval de Mazatlán, which starts Thursday (Feb. 27) and lasts until March 4 — came after the discovery of an alleged narcomanta and a human head in a box on Tuesday (Feb. 25) in Tijuana. The fact was confirmed to Billboard Español by the Baja California State Prosecutor's Office, which said that an investigation has already been opened. Requests for comments sent by Billboard Español to Music VIP and a representative for Grupo Firme on Wednesday night weren't answered at press time. On Wednesday morning, the Sinaloa authorities had confirmed that the Mazatlán Carnival would go on without changes, after stating that there were security guarantees for Grupo Frontera and attendees. This announcement was made by the Secretary of the Government of Sinaloa, Feliciano Castro, at a press conference. But hours later, the band led by singer Eduin Caz announced what was imminent: The cancellation of their presentation at the event. There, Grupo Firme was supposed to kick off the Mexican leg of its successful La Última Peda Tour, which included 14 dates in the country and two festivals in the U.S. The trek is produced by an alliance of promoters Music VIP, Music VIBE, Cohumanity and other companies. The Mexican state of Sinaloa has seen over 800 homicides in the last five months, according to official figures reported by Spanish news agency EFE, since an internal struggle began last September between two factions of the cartel of the same name after the capture of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, co-founder of that criminal organization that now demands that the U.S. repatriate him to Mexico. Grupo Firme now joins a series of regional Mexican acts that have received alleged threats from drug trafficking groups, forcing the cancellation of their performances in territories in conflict with criminal organizations. One of the most memorable cases is that of corridos superstar Peso Pluma, who had to cancel six shows, including a performance in Tijuana scheduled for October 2023, when alleged threats were issued against him by criminal groups.
