Juanes is about to bring some serious Latin flavor to Dancing with the Stars…

The 40-year-old Colombian rockero will be the entertainer for the ABC celebrity reality dancing competition show’s “Latin Night” taking place on April 29, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Juanes is scheduled to perform an all Spanish-language set of his rockin’ tunes.

The announcement comes on the heels of the launch last week of his memoir, Chasing the Sun, written in both English and Spanish.

The Times is also reporting that Juanes will kick off his Loud and Unplugged Tour this spring.

In February, Juanes followed up his Latin Grammy win for Album of the Year with an acclaimed performance at the Grammys Awards — showing that he is ready to cater to his English language speaking fans.

He revealed then that he is planning to cross over and sing in English on his next album.

“Now I can sing in English easier than before,” he said backstage.

The U.S. leg of Juanes’ Loud and Unplugged Tour will kick-off on Sunday, May 26 at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay in San Diego. The Colombian singer-songwriter will then continue on to Grand Prairie, Texas; Toronto, and Montreal, and performs at Philadelphia’s historic Trocadero Theatre on June 21. Additional dates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York and others cities are expected to be announced soon.

The tour follows the success of Juanes MTV Unplugged special, which received five Latin Grammy Award nominations. The Unplugged special, released last May, returned the soul to a spectacular career that Juanes had acknowledged was “at a crossroads.”

“I’m trying to remember who I was,” he said during a Q&A at SXSW last March. “All those dreams and all those ideas I had when I started in music.”

The Loud and Unplugged concerts will echo the intimate yet celebratory tone of the record, on which Juanes is joined by his Latin roots rock band, as well as guests likes tropical music star Juan Luis Guerra, who produced the album, and legendary Spanish balladeer Joaquin Sabina.

Last week, Juanes and Guerra announced that they’ll donate 100% of the proceeds of their previously planned November 24 concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to The American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.
