On Sunday, December 9, legendary entertainer and 17-time Grammy Winner Tony Bennett will become the first non-Hispanic celebrity personality to star in a primetime broadcast special on Univision.
“Feliz Navidad Con Los Nuestros… Tony Bennett y Sus Amigos” includes a mix of performances and filmed vignettes related to Bennett’s newly released CD, VIVA DUETS. The pretaped special, hosted by Giselle Blondet, is set to air at 9 pm ET.
The show features Bennett performing his greatest hits with top Latin music artists, with behind-the scenes footage from the recording of VIVA DUETS. Among the Latino artists included in the special: Marc Anthony, Romeo Santos, Gloria Estefan, Vicente Fernandez, Thalía, Juan Luis Guerra and Chayanne.

VIVA DUETS recently debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and has also hit #1 on iTunes charts in the U.S. and several Latin-American countries – including Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and El Salvador.
