If you don’t know who Juanes is, welcome to planet earth. The Colombian singer-songwriter has been topping charts around the world for over a decade, collecting all kinds of awards and having fans dancing with catchy tunes like “La Camisa Negra” or “A Dios le Pido.”

Now this huge star will appear on the small screen, guest starring in the upcoming Latino themed series “Jane The Virgin,” premiering Oct. 13 on The CW. Get all the details in the press release below.


Multiple Grammy winning music superstar, Juanes, to guest star in the new The CW Network series, JANE THE VIRGIN, adapted by showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman and famed producer Ben Silverman. JANE THE VIRGIN will premiere on The CW on Monday, October 13 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).

Juanes is set to play an idiosyncratic music producer and ladies man, who is interested in producing a demo for Jane’s mother Xiomara.

Additionally, continuing his career history of groundbreaking moments bringing all-Spanish Language music to wider audiences via English TV broadcasts in the United States, the Colombian rock superstar has reached a Hollywood milestone with a unique multi-song arrangement between a Latin music artist and a primetime English network series. This will begin with the production prominently featuring Juanes’ new single “Una Flor” in the October 13 premiere episode.

Jane the Virgin’s Emmy and Golden-Globe winning executive producer Ben Silverman (The Office, Ugly Betty) said of the collaboration with Juanes: “It is an honor and a privilege to be working with Juanes on this genre re-
defining series. Together with Juanes and our fantastic partners at the CW and CBS Television Studios, we aim
to provide a voice to the traditionally underserved Hispanic audience in the US. In Juanes, a true global music superstar transcending language barriers, we could not have found a more brilliant partner to fulfill this vision.”

Arriving this fall, JANE THE VIRGIN is an hour-long series built around a Latino family. Adapted from a Venezuelan telenovela (Juana La Virgen), the series stars break-out newcomer Gina Rodriguez as Jane, notable Latin actor, Jaime Camil as Rogelio, Andrea Navedo (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Golden Boy) as Xiomara, Yael Grobglas (Reign) as Petra, Ivonne Coll (Switched at Birth) as Alba, Justin Baldoni (Single Ladies) as Rafael and Brett Dier (Ravenswood) as Michael.
 
“Una Flor” appears on Juanes’ recent chart-topping and already platinum new album “Loco De Amor” – produced in tandem with famed rock producer Steve Lillywhite.  Released in March, “Loco De Amor” has already been declared “One of the Five Best Albums of 2014 so far” by PEOPLE Magazine, saying it “is one of the best records out now in any tongue… Juanes has never sounded better.” Likewise, the New York Times welcomed the release as a “Latin pop blockbuster …a euphoric, melodic romp across the hemisphere.”
