Latin pop group Reik will be performing at the Clive Davis Theatre at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Feb 21st. They will be joining the likes of others who performed in the Grammy Museum, including John Legend, Colbie Caillat, and Ringo Starr.

Reik will be interviewed after their acoustic set, as part of the event to benefit the museum, and asked about their influences by Leila Cobo. Cobo is Billboard Executive Director of Content and Programming for Latin Music and Entertainment and has a new book out, The Second Time We Met.

Reik has been nominated for Pop Album of the Year and Pop song of the Year for their smashing album Peligro. They also serve as ambassadors for VH1's Save the Music Campaign and Ronald Mc Donald's Children's Charity. The Grammy winning band will be performing in Miami as part of their visit to the United States during the month of February, at Univision's Premios Lo Nuestro.

Will you be tuning in to catch a glimpse of Reik's appearances in the United States?

You've got to hand it to NBC, they definitely know how to cross-promote! The peacock network is hoping to boost rating for its new series The Playboy Club by adding a Voice alum to the show's sixth episode.

And we're not talking about any run-of-the-mill contestant. Execs have booked season one champ Javier Colon for a prominent role on the 60's era drama. Colon will be playing music legend Ray Charles and singing the classic standard, "Let the Good Times Roll."

Javier has already spread the word to his 97,000 Twitter followers and we're seriously hoping his version of "Roll" ends up on iTunes. Plus, it looks like the Playboy retro music trend won't be ending there. Pop singer Colbie Caillat has been booked to play music legend Lesley Gore and Rafael Saadiq will be appearing as Sam Cooke.

Now of course if we had our pick, the Playboy musical re-imaginings would include some Latino icons too. Perhaps Bruno Mars as a young Ritchie Valens? Or maybe Gloria Estefan as a swinging 60's version of Celia Cruz!

Who are your favorite musical artists from the 1960's? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

MySpace ingenue Colbie Caillat has made it BIG en el mundo latino.  Well, not quite, but one influential Colombiano thinks la cantante is hot stuff..

Juanes and Colbie bonded during a tour in Japan and they got along so well, that it's rumored they will cover one another's songs. After Juanes complimented California girl Colbie on su trabajo, Colbie gave Juanes a reciprocal pat on the back (it's only fair). Colbie plans to cover Juanes' "Hoy me Voy" for her future album. In turn, Juanes will do a Spanish version of Colbie's "Little Things."

Nice marketing tactic Colbie.  She just hit the mainstream and is already going the Latin route.  We thought that was reserved only for A-listers like Beyonce. [Latin Gossip]
