Likewise, the Latino Talent Awards usually seeks to showcase the cultural variety of the Hispanic community, so this year folkloric dances from Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil were presented. Also, live Mariachi and Latin musicians such as Sebastián Duque from Colombia, gave a mini concert of pop ballads and Afro-Colombian urban singer-songwriter Tommy Papí sang some of his recently released songs.
