The most highly anticipated sporting event of the year in the Americas is approaching, where sixteen national teams will give their all in the fields for the golden trophy ---and J Balvin is a part of it! The Colombian urban singer, who is making the rounds with his new single "Bobo," has been invited to kick off the 2016 Copa America opening ceremonies along with two other great music acts, Magic! and Jason Derulo.

The high-energy performance, featuring the "Ginza" singer, will begin at 6 p.m. PST ahead of the 100-year Copa America anniversary game between host nation United States and Colombia at 6:30 p.m. PST in the Levi's Stadium. The opening ceremonies and match will be televised live on FS1 and Univision.
