One of the spots, known as Reconocimiento (“Recognition”), shows fans recognizing Derbez because of his fame, then turns the focus to the hard-working Latinos who are dedicated to providing for their families and communities. Latin Grammy “Best New Artist” nominees Periko & Jessi Leon wrote and recorded an uplifting, original anthem, “Somos Latinos.” Periko & Jessi Leon star in a new music video. The song can also be heard in the TV spots featuring Eugenio Derbez, as well as in other elements of the campaign. DishLATINO will be inviting U.S. Hispanics to share their story by customizing an image (such as a social media profile picture) to show where they’re from and where they’re making it. Users can then upload the image directly to social media and add a message about their unique story. Eugenio Derbez, who will be among the first to create and share a customized image, shares more about how to create an image in this video (Spanish only).
