Top honors at the world’s most important and prestigious Latin music event went to Juan Luis Guerra who received three Billboard Latin Music Awards. This mega event, produced and broadcast live on Telemundo and hosted by Aylin Mujica and Alan Tacher, celebrated its 10th anniversary on the network.

The event was filled with memorable moments, beginning with a remarkable opening number by Olga Tañon, Noel from Sin Bandera, Yuridia, Victor Manuelle and Diana Reyes, who joined Ricardo Montaner to interpret “Tu Piano y mi Guitarra” (Your piano and my guitar), paying tribute to the art of music. They were accompanied by a majestic orchestra made up of 30 musicians, conducted by Angel “Cucco” Peña, marking the first time that an orchestra of this magnitude performs live during a Latin music awards show of this kind.

The show also featured the rich sound of regional Mexican music, with performances by Conjunto Primavera, honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, La Arrolladora Banda El Limon, and Alacranes Musical. In addition, internationally renowned Marco Antonio Solis touched the audience with a special number accompanied by his band, which included 18 string instruments. In another evocative performance, Lucero, known as “La Novia de America” and dressed in authentic Mexican “charro” attire, paid homage to the great Jose Alfredo Jimenez.

Other stars that set the stage on fire with their performances included the great Alejandro Fernandez, who interpreted a musical medley featuring three of his hits. A.B. Quintanilla III Presenta Kumbia All Starz, performed live from Universal City Walk in Los Angeles during the innovative remote broadcast hosted by Penelope Menchaca, marking the first time an awards ceremony of this type airs from both east and west coasts.

International superstar Juan Luis Guerra y 440 got everyone on their feet with “Como Yo,” accompanied by a choreography featuring 12 dancers. He received the Producer of the Year award and, along with his band 440, won Hot Latin Songs, Artist of the Year and Tropical Album of the Year, Duo or Group for “La Llave de mi Corazon.”

In addition, viewers also enjoyed when the reggaeton duo Alexis y Fido joined the popular Mexican group Camila in a never-before-seen performance. Also, Wisin y Yandel stole fans’ hearts with “Ahora Es.” A special segment dedicated to new artists brought Kany Garcia, Belanova and Fanny Lu to the stage. The Dominican “bachata” group Aventura also delighted the audience with a medley of their greatest hits. As if that weren’t enough, Colombian superstar Juanes interpreted his most recent release “Gotas de Agua Dulce.”

Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias took the stage to give a distinguished performance. Later, in one of the most exciting moments of the evening, Telemundo and Billboard presented him with a special award for making history by becoming the only Latin artist to have topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs list 18 times.

Finally, Puerto Rican singer Chayanne closed the evening with a spectacular performance of “Lola.” The evening culminated with the show’s hosts, Aylin Mujica and Alan Tacher, from outside the theater with a magnificent fireworks display and cheers from the crowd.
