Shakira @ Univision’s Premios Juventud Youth Awards.

Univision announced today that Colombian recording star Shakira will make a special appearance on its upcoming “Premios Juventud” youth awards September 22, 2005.

A recipient of seven “Premio Lo Nuestro” Latin music awards, Shakira will make her first appearance on the lively, youth-oriented awards show that recognizes popularity and overall achievement in five categories – Film, Music, Sports, Fashion and Pop Culture. Enjoying huge crossover popularity with today’s youth, regardless of cultural origin, her recent CD “Fijación Oral, Vol. 1,” is currently climbing the record charts and an English version will be released in the coming months.

In addition to a glittering array of recording artists, TV personalities and other notables celebrating the awards recipients determined by the public, “Premios Juventud” will offer TV viewers exciting performances by some of today’s hottest, contemporary artists. The decidedly unconventional award categories include “CD to Die For,” “Best Moves,” “Sports Rookie that Rocks,” “Dream Chick,” “Hottest Romance,” and “Paparazzi’s Favorite Target” to name a few.
