- Combining Latin rhythms, ballads, and mainstream pop music, Marc Anthony is one of today’s most significant crossover artists, selling more than twelve million albums worldwide. This photograph shows the singer, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, just as he hit his stride with his first salsa records, between 1993 and 1997. These established him as one of the all-time top-selling artists in the genre. The viewer looks at the singer, with his arms extended and head toward the sky, in a posture that conveys his natural and enduring stage presence. Anthony’s eponymous English album from 2000 went triple-platinum, heralding the beginning of a Latin pop explosion in the United States. Twenty years later, his success is undiminished; he won ten awards at the 2014 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Hot Latin Song for his life-affirming “Vivir mi vida.”

- Con un repertorio que combina ritmos latinos con baladas y música pop, Marc Anthony es uno de los artistas más destacados del crossover, habiendo vendido más de doce millones de discos en el mundo. Esta fotografía muestra al cantante de raíces puertorriqueñas cuando empezaba a triunfar con sus primeros discos de salsa, entre 1993 y 1997. Para esa época se estableció como uno de los salseros de más ventas de todos los tiempos. Aquí lo vemos con los brazos extendidos y la cabeza girada hacia el cielo, en una pose que comunica la naturalidad y solidez de su presencia escénica. En el año 2000, su disco titulado Marc Anthony alcanzó el nivel de triple platino en ventas, augurando el comienzo de una explosión latina en la música pop de Estados Unidos. Veinte años después, su éxito no ha menguado: en los Premios Billboard de la Música Latina 2014 ganó diez galardones, entre ellos Hot Latin Song por su canto al optimismo, “Vivir mi vida”.
