Rapper and producer Pitbull, of Cuban descent, was named to People en Español's 2026 "50 Most Beautiful" list, in the "Stage Attraction" category recognizing musical artists for their live presence.

Born Armando Christian Pérez in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, the artist is having one of the busiest years of his career in 2026: his "I'm Back" tour grossed roughly $25 million across 13 U.S. shows, and he recently set a Guinness World Record during a concert at London's BST Hyde Park festival.

With more than two decades in the industry, Pitbull has established himself as one of the most internationally recognized Cuban-American artists, with collaborations alongside Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony, and an artistic identity that blends English and Spanish in equal measure.

His recognition by People en Español joins that of three other Cuban figures honored this year by the publication, in a 2026 edition topped by Mexican singer Belinda.
