Erika Ender to lead Operación Triunfo USA academy

Panamanian singer-songwriter Erika Ender is set to lead the Academy of "Operación Triunfo USA," the American adaptation of the renowned musical competition premiering tonight on Telemundo. With over three decades in the music industry, Ender will guide aspiring artists through vocal, stage, and artistic training.

Ender shared her enthusiasm on social media, emphasizing the importance of sharing her knowledge with a new generation. "After 35 years of career, few things excite me as much as accompanying new talents in their growth," she wrote. "I take on this challenge with the same passion with which I have lived every stage of my career and with the commitment to share not only what I have learned in the industry, but also the lessons that life has given me."

She also thanked Telemundo and the "Operación Triunfo USA" team for their trust. The show features judges David Bisbal and Ana Bárbara. Panama will be represented by singer Karol Wilson, adding to the local interest in the competition. The program follows the successful international format, where young artists live in an academy while competing through weekly performances and eliminations.
