Panama closes out 2025 with a bang in the international entertainment scene. Forbes Central America and Forbes Mexico surprised everyone by including two Panamanian women on their prestigious “Most Creative Women of 2025” lists, a recognition that puts the country’s female talent at the forefront of the global radar. One of them is María Laura Castillero, the young Panamanian sound engineer who, at just 22 years old, can already boast a Grammy Award. Forbes highlighted her technical precision and sonic sensitivity, qualities that today make her part of the new elite of Latin sound. Although she now lives primarily in Mexico, Susy has never lost her Panamanian essence.
