Following on the vibrant Barbie wave, Billboard connects with various Latin artists who fondly remember their Barbie-imbued childhood memories, adding more glitter to the anticipated movie.
Describing her kinship with Barbie, GALE confessed, "For my birthday and special occasions my friends and family would give me Barbies.
