As we face the challenging global pandemic of the coronavirus, people are staying home to help prevent the spread of the outbreak. Many people are using their quarantine time to telecommute, binge-watch a series, read a book or, a new favorite, enjoy a virtual concert.
Latin music artists, such as Thalia, Chiquis and Emilia Mernes, are not only spending time at home but also adding a touch of humor to ease tension and panic. Emilio Estefan Jr., for example, went to his manicurist in a trash bag, while Chiquis dances to Bad Bunny’s “Yo Perreo Sola” as she disinfects her home.
