Univision’s Newest Mega Production “¡Viva el Sueño!” (Live the Dream!) to Launch Next Latin Music Superstar

The Univision Network announced today the upcoming launch of its highly-anticipated music competition, “¡Viva el Sueño!” (Live the Dream!). The first-of-its-kind reality competition will pit 14 professional artists who have not yet had their big break and give viewers the chance to select Latin music’s next big superstar. Hailing from the U.S., Latin America and Spain, these performers have all had a taste of the limelight. Some have gained fame in their countries of origin, others have had the opportunity to perform side by side with some of the industry’s biggest stars, but they all still struggle in relative anonymity. “¡Viva el Sueño!” premieres Sunday, August 30^th at 8pm ET/PT (7pm Central) on the Univision Network.

“¡Viva el Sueño!” will provide viewers with the intensity, drama and excitement of reality television as these artists face fierce competition, grueling rehearsals, and the emotional stress of preparing for a live show week after week. Each will showcase their unique talent in stellar musical productions, performing some of Latin music’s greatest hits. They will give their all in the hopes of winning $200,000 in cash and prizes but, most importantly, for the one chance to achieve their dream of stardom.

The program will be hosted by Hollywood actor and Latin American star Cristián de la Fuente. He will be joined by the beautiful and talented model/actress Carolina Guerra, who will provide all the details and reactions from backstage after each artist’s performance. In addition, three renowned Latin radio personalities from across the U.S. will make up the expert panel of judges who will be on hand to evaluate the contestants’ performances and help viewers decide who has the star-quality to make it through the competition. They are: Houston’s multifaceted radio host Raúl Brindis from Univision Radio’s Estéreo Latino 102.9 FM; Los Angeles’ favorite Regional Mexican DJ Stephanie Himonidis “La Chiquibaby” from Univision’s La Nueva 101.9 FM; and Miami’s high-profile and irreverent radio personality Enrique Santos from Univision’s La Kalle 98.3 FM.
