Billboard Latin Music Week is a month away, and Wisin & Yandel are getting ready to be panelists for the Iconic Songwriter Q&A by Sony ATV.
With more than 20 years of experience, Wisin & Yandel have created a history of hits as a legendary duo in the Latin urban genre. During the panel, they will discuss how they became successful as songwriters even when they went their separate ways for five years.
For that reason, Billboard has gathered their chart successes as a duo while we wait for their panel at Latin Music Week, which takes place from April 22-25 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
