The 2018 Latin Grammy Awards will start on a high note.

On Friday night, the Academy announced that Will Smith, Bad Bunny, and Marc Anthony will open the ceremony with a performance of "Está Rico," their hit bilingual track that arrived back in September.

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.

The 2018 Latin Grammys will air live at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 15. on the Univision Network. Other performers will include J Balvin, Halsey, Angela Aguilar, Pablo Alborán, El David Aguilar, Kany García, Karol G, and Maná.
