Proyecto Uno closes the Billboard Latin Music Awards with a bang

In their trademark party style, the trio, currently consisting of Nelson Zapata, Kid G and Paolo Tondo, took to the stage wearing bright jackets in shades of red, blue and yellow, accompanied by an entourage of colorful dancers as they sang. Their iconic “No pares, sigue, sigue” (“Don't stop, go on, go on.”)

This year, Proyecto Uno celebrate 35 years of a musical career in which they have delivered hits such as 'Brinca', 'Latinos' and 'Otro Nivel', combining tropical genres with hip-hop, house and techno, creating a hybrid sound that has left an indelible mark in Latin music.
