A roar filled James L Knight Center in Miami last night as the Colombian Reggaeton singer took the stage to kick-off his first headlining U.S. tour. The artist is red hot - with two Latin Grammy nominations and his latest single, "Ginza," topping the "Latin Airplay Chart" for three straight weeks - and the fans responded. Fittingly, Mexican-American singer-songwriter Becky G opened the show with her newest single, "Break A Sweat."

Over the next two months, these fast-rising artists will share their talent with thousands of music lovers in 20 cities across the U.S. As presenting sponsor, Toyota will share the spotlight, enhancing the "La Familia" fan experience at many concert stops through interactive vehicle displays and other on-site activities, such as selfie and dancing stations.

Fans in some markets will have an opportunity to ride and drive Toyota vehicles, as well as a chance to win concert tickets and meet the artists the night of the show.

"Toyota certainly recognizes the power and importance of music in the lives of so many of our guests," said Jack Hollis, group vice president marketing, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "As a company, we are excited to partner with J Balvin on his first headlining tour, which also features one of our own, Becky G. We cherish our role in music, and will continue to foster the growth of up-and-coming artists like the two them on their journeys to making their dreams a reality."

With multiple chart-topping hits, critical acclaim, record-setting video views and surging social media numbers, J Balvin is unquestionably Latin Music's top new star. An emerging artist in her own right, Becky G was named among Time magazine's most influential teens of 2014.

"Last night was an epic explosion of musical sights and sounds. We're looking forward to hearing more great music on this tour, and to making great connections with our guests along the way," added Hollis.
