Anitta will be leadingthe pack…

During this year’s Latin Music Week, the 26-year-old Brazilian singer-songwriter will be one of the artists headlining this year’s “Women in the Lead” panel.

Anitta will be joined on the panel by fellow of-the-moment stars Natti Natasha, Karol G and Lali.

The four singers, who individually represent a new generation of chart-topping female artists redefining Latin music with their distinctive and successful sounds, will join marketing guru Luana Pagani; Universal Music Publishing Group president, Latin America/U.S. Latin Alexandra Lioutikoff; and USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative’s Dr. Stacy Smith.

“Our ‘Women in the Lead’ panel is not only powerful; it is an agent of change,” says Leila Cobo, Billboard’s Vice President and Latin Industry Lead. “We look forward to again having a marquee group of women who make a difference.”

The group of trailblazing women, who join previously announced conference guests Juan Luis Guerra, Wisin & Yandel, Anuel AA, Lele Ponsand the Rivera family, will take the stage Wednesday, April 24, for an in-depth discussion moderated by Cobo.
