Internationally renowned singer/actor Carlos Ponce has signed on with Telemundo to host “Protagonistas de la Música” — Spanish television’s first musical reality show and a sequel to Telemundo’s hit reality series “Protagonistas de Novela” – which will debut in late October, announced Manuel Martínez-Llorián, Executive Vice President of Programming for the Network.

“We want to give our viewers a host with that special combination of heart, charm and personality, said Martínez-Llorián. “Carlos encompasses all of that and more, he is one of the premiere stars of the Latin music industry and is someone who our 14 young men and women will look up to. We are thrilled to have him join us.”

Special musical guests and top record producers will interact with the participants and judge their talents, with both contestants and television viewers voting to determine who goes and who stays.

Ponce will serve as host of the show, as well as mentor to the participants, guiding them through the learning, growing, and audition process. The music star, who has three novelas and three albums under his belt, has won the hearts of millions around the world with his talent and charm. The Puerto Rican born performer says “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of such an important and exciting project; this will be an unforgettable experience, not only for the contestants, but also for me.”
