The announcement of the performance by Toño, La Insuperable and Ebenezer, along with the tribute to Elvis Crespo, was made this Tuesday by Billboard and Telemundo, where it was also stated that Crespo will be recognized for three decades of musical career that include his global hits "Suavemente" and "Tu sonrisa" which made him a cultural phenomenon.
