Gloria Trevi and Maria Becerra unleashed a captivating showcase of female empowerment and a good dose of debauchery with their performance of “Borracha” at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Sunday (Oct. 20). The potent single — a meld of regional Mexican music, pop and subtle trap beats — highlighted both artists’ unique strengths […]
Yandel invigorated the audience at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Sunday (Oct. 20) with a dynamic performance of two hit singles from his latest album, ELYTE. Draped in a black leather vest and pants, while sporting dark shades and a bucket hat, the reggaetón renegade exuded rugged charisma.
The performance kicked off with “Afro,” an Afrobeat-infused track that captivated the audience with its vibrant energy. Yandel, accompanied by a troupe of dancers clad in eye-catching metallic silver outfits, brought the song to life with captivating choreography and an undeniable stage presence.
The Puerto Rican genre pioneer then delivered “Háblame Claro,” a sultry reggaetón tune, which originally featured Feid and climbed to No. 33 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. While the Colombian star was not present, Yandel’s solo rendition did not disappoint, as he infused the performance with passion and the right mix of intensity and allure.

“This is a song Tainy [produced] with Los Icons,” Yandel told Billboard on Oct. 10, when his new album dropped. “From the moment I heard it, I felt like it was a hit and that it was going to be a defining track on the album. Everything felt natural, as if the ideas just aligned perfectly. Every time I listen to it, I am transported back to that moment and the vibe that led us to create something that, without a doubt, speaks to both the roots of reggaetón and its evolution.”
The 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards will also feature performances from J Balvin, Grupo Niche, Pepe Aguilar, Gloria Trevi, Maria Becerra, Xavi, Chencho Corleone, Prince Royce, Gabito Ballesteros, Proyecto Uno and more.

Música popular colombiana — or “popular Colombian music” — made its debut with a big bang at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music awards with a performance by Luis Alfonso opening the show.
The Colombian star kicked off the awards with a boisterous rendition of his hit “Tequila Con Cerveza,” originally recorded with urban star Blessd, followed by current hit “Chismofilia.” Dressed in leather pants and boots, Luis Alfonso sported his signature cowboy hat and performed backed by both banda and norteño instrumentation.
The Mexican influence is clear in both look and arrangements, but Luis Alfonso’s “popular Colombian” sound was unmistakable in the colloquial lyrics and traditional Colombian vibe.
Trending on Billboard
Luis Alfonso’s “Chismofilia,” which has become a runaway hit in Colombia and is also rising in the U.S. charts (this week, it’s No. 19 on Billboard’s Latin Pop airplay chart), featured a troupe of country dancers doing the singer’s signature (and irresistible) head bop.
It was enough to get the audience on its feet and setting the tone for the evening.
Earlier in the week, Luis Alfonso spoke about música popular colombiana at a panel during Latin Music Week that also featured country-mates Paola Jara, Yeison Jiménez and Pipe Bueno.
“It’s an honor to represent my country, Colombia, but also the heritage of popular Colombian music,” said Luis Alfonso in an interview.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards recognize the impact of Latin music on the global scene, being the only awards based directly on the performance of albums, songs and artists on Billboard’s weekly charts. This year, awards will be presented in 49 categories, spanning the genres of Latin pop, tropical, Latin rhythm and regional Mexican.
Finalists, and the eventual winners, reflect performance of new recordings on Billboard’s albums and songs charts for the period covering rankings dated Aug. 19, 2023 through the Sept. 7, 2024, charts. Determinations are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay and touring, tracked by Billboard and its data partner, Luminate.
Produced by Telemundo in collaboration with American Country Broadcast Inc., the awards can be seen on Telemundo, the Telemundo app, streaming service Peacock and in Latin America and the Caribbean through Telemundo Internacional.
This year, the list of finalists is led by Karol G, who has 17 mentions in key categories such as Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, and Global 200 Latin Artist of the Year. Bad Bunny and Peso Pluma follow closely behind with 15 mentions each. Other notable finalists include Feid, with 11 mentions, and regional Mexican stars Fuerza Regida and Junior H, both with 8 mentions, including Artist of the Year. See the full list of finalists here.
