This time, he’s accompanied by seemingly every star in the Latinx firmamentproud Latinas like Rita Moreno, Gina Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Estefan; and proud Latinos like Marc Anthony, John Leguizamo, Ruben Blades, and Fat Joejoining together on a track called “Almost Like Praying,” which debuted today.
