Tokio Hotel will surprise the Latino audience in MTV Latin America Awards

The German band Tokio Hotel confirmed their participation in the upcoming MTV Latin America awards on October 16 in Guadalajara, capital of the Mexican state of Jalisco, and announced that they'll prepare something "very special that will surprise the audience."

"For us it is a great opportunity to have been invited to the MTV awards, it's a great honour, however we still don't know what we are going to present, there are many ideas that we have to arrange, but for sure we know that will be something very special, we have many expectations", said the vocalist Bill Kaulitz, in a press conference.

Tokio Hotel, one of the most successful German bands among today's youth, includes the twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz, who've created the band in their homeland Magdeburg (Germany) in 2001 along with the drummer Gustav Schäfer and the bassist Georg Listing.

The band arrived to Mexico in a time of great popularity to promote their latest album, "Scream", for which a signing session was made on Friday where they gathered more than 5 000 fans in a commercial square in the capital.

Before the number of followers, Bill said that they never imagined they had so many fans in this country.

"We are very happy at this signing session, it was our first encounter with the Mexican public and we never thought that were so many people," said the vocalist.

About their "Scream", their first album in English, Tom said they decided to sing in this language so that they could communicate with the rest of the world.

On the content of their songs, Tom pointed out that they have no messages, but only talk about common themes among youth.

"We just want people to have fun. We just make music, we like making music but nothing else," said Tom.

With sales of three million records in their homeland Germany and some 26 awards, Tokio Hotel is presenting their latest work in Latin America, which contains the best musical pieces from their previous albums "Schrei" and "Zimmer 483".

Their biggest success so far is "Monsoon".
