In an effort to raise awareness and unify the Latino community, Estrella TV has teamed up with Will.I.Am, one of the world’s hottest and most influential musical producers of this generation, and The Black Eyed Peas to produce a Spanish version of their hit single "Where Is The Love," to unite Latinos in a time when the Hispanic community in the U.S. has been under fire given the current political climate.

Estrella TV, the fastest growing, minority owned Spanish language network in the U.S. announced the worldwide premiere of the Spanish version of The Black Eyed Peas’ “Where Is The Love” music video at Premios de la Radio 2016 award show.

The music video shoot took place at The Black Eyed Peas studio facility in Hollywood from October 19th to October 20th, 2016. The original Spanish language version was composed by Edgar Cortazar and was recorded at The Black Eyed Peas studio in Hollywood. Additional recording and production took place in Mexico City to accommodate the Latin superstars living outside of Los Angeles. Some of the 59 notable international superstars that participated in this unique and unprecedented music project include The Black Eyed Peas, Rosario Dawson, Constance Marie, Chiquis Rivera, Guillermo Diaz, Ryan Guzman, Wilmer Valderrama, Paulina Rubio and Becky G just to name a few.

Estrella TV is overjoyed to be bringing something fresh and innovative to the awards show. Lenard Liberman, CEO of LBI Media, Inc., parent company to Estrella TV is excited about the addition.

"We are delighted to have been able to work with The Black Eyed Peas in bringing together some of the hottest and most popular superstars from both the US and Latin America. The Spanish version of “Where Is The Love” is a testament to Estrella TV’s commitment to continue being a voice for Latinos in the U.S."

The original song which features Justin Timberlake is one of the group's top selling songs to date. This is not the first time the song has been used for a good cause. Back in September, the group along with several artists such as Jamie Foxx, Cassie, Justin Timberlake and more were enlisted to recreate the song that went to the i.am.angel foundation, a non-profit founded by Will.I.Am with the goal of "transforming lives through education, inspiration and opportunity."
