Before we kiss 2013 goodbye, let’s reflect on all the amazing popculture moments this year had to offer. Sure, Latinos are still under represented in movies, on TV, and in popular music, but we’re gaining ground...fast. Talented up-and-coming Latino stars are popping up everywhere, and it’s time to give a shout out to the best new talent of the year!
Edy Ganem:
Lifetime’s new comedy Devious Maids starred several incredible Latinas, but it introduced us to up-and-comer Edy Ganem for the first time. She may be young, but the gorgeous Mexicana proved that she’s a true leading lady during the first season of the hit comedy. Expect a lot more from this chica in 2014!

Fifth Harmony:
The group -- which boasts three Latinas, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Camila Cabello, andLauren Jauregui -- had a huge year. At the end of 2012, they were booted off reality singing competition The X Factor, finishing in third place. Despite the loss, the ladies came out on top! Just one month later, in January 2013, the girls signed with Epic Records and Syco Music. They quickly began working on their debut album, which hit stores on October 22, 2013. Most notably, the girls racked up a huge, enthusiastic fan base (they are all over Tumblr!), released multiple hit singles, and signed a touring deal with Demi Lovato, Little Mix, andCher Lloyd.

Becky G:
It’s hard to believe that Becky G is just 16-years-old! The adorable rapper and singer has been blowing up the charts with tracks like Wish You Were Here (with Cody Simpson) and Play It Again. But, we really knew our and February cover girl was going to be a huge star whenJennifer Lopez agreed to make a cameo in her video for Becky From The Block! We can’t wait to see what’s next for the teen!
