The Black Eyed Peas made a big move at this year's Latin America Music Awards as they performed an emotional opening act along with other artists.
According to Billboard, the group performed their mega hit "Where Is The Love" with the help of more than 25 Latin artists.
Performers in their opening act include Farruko, Ozuna, Gerardo Ortiz, Prince Royce, Goyo, Chiquis, CNCO, Esteman, Bosa, Calibre 50, Adriel Favela, and many more.
Their performance revolved around unity, peace, love, and resilience in solidarity with Ukraine two months after Russian military forces invaded the country.
All singers on stage wore all-white outfits, but one artist among them stood out, Ukrainian star NK, who carried a flag of her dear country.
The 2003 song was reprised into a bilingual track.
Farruko delivered an emotional rap about tolerance and unity in the middle of their opening show.
