It’s official… Juanes is set to give his inspired music the unplugged treatment.

The 39-year-old Colombian rockero will tape an MTV Unplugged special in Miami next February. Produced by MTV TR3s, the special will air in the United States and throughout Latin America.

And the Grammy-winning artist will get an assist from his dear friend Juan Luis Guerra. The 54-year-old Dominican singing sensation will serve as the musical director for the special, as well as the producer on Juanes’ “MTV Unplugged” album.

The equally exceptional pair, who’ve often performed and collaborated together, had talked about Guerra producing a Juanes album for months, according to sources.

The special will be taped at the New World Center in Miami Beach with guest artists and song list still to be determined.

Previous Latino artists/acts who’ve recorded an MTV Unplugged special include Ricky Martin, Julieta Venegas, Alejandro Sanz, Zoé, Los Tigres del Norte and Camila.

Romeo Santos isn’t afraid to blend, especially if it means expanding his musical sound to reach new audiences…

The 30-year-old Dominican-American singer, who recently released his debut solo album at the top of the Billboard Latin Albums chart, says he’s hoping to partner with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez to blend ranchera music with bachata.

During a recent press conference in Mexico, the former Aventura front man confessed that his greatest “challenge” is the ability to spread his music and share it with other artists of different genres and countries.

“I would like to collaborate with Alejandro Fernandez to be able to mix genre,” said Santos, who admits to listening to Canadian crooner Michael Buble and legendary Mexican singers Vicente Fernandez and Juan Gabriel. “It would be interesting to mix bachata with rancheras.”

Santos’ new solo album “Formula Vol. 1” already includes collaborations with well-known artists like Mexico’s Mario Domm from the group Camila; Spaniards La Mala Rodriguez and Tomati and American singers Usher, Lil Wayne and Pitbull.

Santos expressed his desire to bring his culture and music to the entire world and said he’s ready to push forward as a solo artist to “conquer” hearts in the European and Asian markets.

“My intent is to exceed expectations and conquer the public in Spain, Japan and Brazil,” said Santos, who will begin his world tour in the United States in February 2012.
