Marc Anthony is the latest music star to launch his own channel on SiriusXM.
On Wednesday (May 1), the salsa icon launched Muevense Radio, which will air for a limited time through Thursday, May 31, on the SiriusXM app. Additionally, it will be available to subscribers on SiriusXM channel 107 until May 14.
According to SiriusXM, Muevense Radio — named after Marc Anthony's latest album, which was released April 26 — will feature stories shared by the hitmaker and provide “insight” into his expansive career. The channel will explore more than three decades of Marc Anthony's music, from his timeless classics to his new album, and will also feature music from “his influences and favorite artists,” according to a press release.
The launch of Muevense Radio will be marked by a special SiriusXM Town Hall event featuring a conversation between Marc Anthony and songwriter-producer Julio Reyes Copello. The episode will be hosted by producer Sergio George, one of Marc Anthony's longtime collaborators, at the SiriusXM Miami studios. The Town Hall special will air Friday (May 3) at 2 p.m. ET on Muevense Radio, with rebroadcasts throughout the weekend.
The SiriusXM channel comes on the heels of Marc Anthony's new album, which is a testament to the singer's ability to craft anthemic salsa hits. On all tracks except “Ojalá Te Duela,” a ranchera with Pepe Aguilar, Marc shines solo, centering on the festive rhythms that have defined his career.
“A new Marc Anthony album is always cause for celebration and speaks to the timelessness and consistency of his voice and his musical collaborators that at any moment you can turn on any radio station and within the same ad-free music block, hear a song he recorded last year next to a song he recorded 30 years ago,” Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote in an essay on Marc Anthony's new album. “He is our Sinatra, and when we hear him, we also hear the echo of all the memorable moments in our lives.”
