The music world is buzzing with anticipation as Premios Juventud prepares for a historic move to Panama City for the first time ever on Thursday, September 25, 2025. And setting the tone for this groundbreaking event will be none other than the legendary Panamanian band, Los Rabanes, who are set to open the show with an explosive performance.
A Legendary Opening Act
With a career spanning over three decades and a Latin GRAMMY under their belt, Los Rabanes have long been celebrated as the “Kings of Ska.” Their invitation to kick off one of Latin music’s most important nights is a powerful testament to their enduring influence. The band will perform their international smash hit, “Señorita, a mí me gusta su style,” a song that not only defined a generation but continues to captivate new audiences. This moment is poised to be a highlight of the night, reaffirming the band’s relevance and energetic connection with fans across generations.
A Fusion of Generations and Genres
The opening act promises to be a spectacular tribute to Panamanian musical heritage, featuring a star-studded lineup that includes Willie Colón, Sech, Boza, Farruko, and Natti Natasha, among others. As lead singer Emilio Regueira shared, “It’s an honor for us to open Premios Juventud and share our music with such a diverse and vibrant audience. This invitation confirms that the energy of ska and Latin rock is more alive than ever.”
In addition to their momentous performance, Los Rabanes recently dropped their new single, “La Máskara,” a fiery collaboration with reggaeton icon Lennox of Zion & Lennox. This new track fuses the band’s signature ska-punk with a fresh urban flow, creating an anthem for the dancefloor.
Catch Los Rabanes on Tour
As the band continues their tour, fans can catch them live at upcoming shows in Philadelphia on September 13, at the Costa Rica Festival in New Jersey on September 14, and during a special Press Day in New York City on September 15. The band’s return to the global stage for Premios Juventud cements their status as a true intergenerational icon of Latin music.
