A behind-the-scenes look at Fuerza Regida’s BBMAs performance for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
Manny Bonilla:
Dick Clark Productions contact me to direct this multi-cam performance of Fuerza, and it’s pretty big deal.
Janeth Briceno:
The movement was created for Manny, our director, and he talked about 360s everything like bird eyes, they want dancing around the audience. So everything like a big party.
Manny Bonilla:
She’s the one. I’m ready. I’m ready. This is the Mayan Theater. It’s a gorgeous theater. We trimmed it on its head. We put the stage right in the middle of the pit, and we shot back into the audience.
Janeth Briceno:
Well, the idea was, he thought about a video like, something very sexy. They want dancers around him. He said, “Just, I want something sexy.”
Manny Bonilla:
I’ve always had fun working with dancers the problem solving of, “Hey, this is a problem.” And then you show to them. They’re like, “Oh.” And then they go do something else. These dancers that we had here were absolutely phenomenal. I think they absolutely crushed it. Janeth is unbelievable. We’ve been working together for like, 25 years. I didn’t know she was on this project, and I saw her face on a Zoom call, and I was just like, yeah, Janeth!
