The awards show will mark the trio's first live performance together; however, all of the artists are familiar with the Latin Grammy stage. Yes, even Smith, who performed "Fiesta" with Bomba Estéreo during the 2015 ceremony.

"Will and I have always wanted to work on a musical collaboration," said Anthony in a press release announcing the single. "Working with Bad Bunny for the first time has been a great surprise. We all had a magnificent chemistry, and that energy is palpable in both the music and the video."

You can check out the official video for "Está Rico" below.
