Aguilar, who also helms a record label, is now on his Jaripeo Hasta Los Huesos tour, which is described as a "spectacular fusion of Mexican rodeo, music, and Cirque du Soleil-style performances."

He is set to answer questions about his musical journey during a Latin Music Week panel.

"It's exciting to see how música mexicana is growing and evolving, and I'm proud to be part of that movement," Aguilar said. "What's even more special is being able to connect with a new generation of fans while staying true to my roots. I've reinvented myself time and time again, and as music continues to evolve, I'm ready to keep pushing boundaries and creating something new."

Latin Music Week, which begins Oct. 14, will also feature discussions with Thalia, Eden Muñoz, Yandel and Alejandro Sanz.
