The set kicked off with “Si Me Duele Que Me Duela” featuring Firme. Then, Pepe Aguilar took the stage to join Intocable for a rendition of their collaboration, “No Me Hablen de Amor.”
Following their performance, Intocable received the Excellence Award but, unlike other special award recipients such as Victor Manuelle and Ivy Queen, Intocable’s frontman Ricky Muñoz opted for a brief statement as opposed to an elaborate speech.
“Thanks so much, see you,” he said.

On Thursday (Feb. 23), Christian Nodal and Tini transformed Premio Lo Nuestro into a crimson-lit, passion-filled scene with burning candles and fire pits. Together, they sang “Por El Resto de Tu Vida.” Leading with twinkling bolero arpeggio, the mariacheño trailblazer and Argentine pop singer matched hearts as their voices collided to make one of the sweetest of love songs of the year so far.

The scene at the Latin music awards ceremony was spectacular. Nodal first appeared singing the cumbia-mariachi song “Un Cumbión Dolido,” where he sat on a medieval-like center chair and vintage table with chains and fruit on top. He achieved rustic elegance, donning a bronze vest and jeans, with a silk black shirt and his usual cowboy hat and buckle. Tini, on the other hand, looked pristine in white and sheer gloves that sparkled. Together they dazzled.
Nodal continued to experiment within the confines of regional Mexican music, and Tini was a great singing partner to enhance that sound.

“These are my first nominations,” she told Billboard on the magenta carpet. “I feel that we’re all winners already because we’re all representing our culture and country, demonstrating that the woman is very powerful.”
On the carpet, she also revealed she will be hitting the road again this year with her “Popola Presidente” tour, where she will be visiting many countries for the first time, such as Argentina and Chile. As for her debut album, she says, “I still don’t have a date for my album but it’s already in talks and hopefully, we drop it next year.” (Watch the interview at the top)

Before receiving his lifetime achievement award at Thursday’s (Feb. 23) Premio Lo Nuestro, Victor Manuelle received a riveting tribute by fellow artists including Gilberto Santa Rosa, Jerry Rivera, Tito Nieves, Noel Schajris and Norberto. All sang a medley of Manuelle’s salsa anthems, including “Tengo Ganas” and “He Tratado.”

“Today, we celebrate the career of a man whom I met 30 years ago when he was a teenager with many dreams,” Santa Rosa said as he presented Manuelle the award. “He approached me asking if he could sing and I remember thinking, that man will be a big deal. 30 years later, we’re celebrating a career that is based on talent. He’s an excellent singer, producer, songwriter. The ones that know him personally also know he’s a great brother, husband and now also grandfather.”
A teary-eyed Manuelle took the stage to give a heartfelt speech: “There are many emotions. First, I’d like to thank the one I think is the best composer, producer, Jesus Christ. Secondly, my family, among them is the man who in 1993 believed in me when no one else did and he produced my first songs, Gilberto Santa Rosa. To my mom, my children, who are my inspiration, my wife, who is the heart of our family. To my fans, the artists that are with me tonight.”

The stars shined at Premio Lo Nuestro’s 35th annual awards ceremony. Artists such as Tokischa, Sofía Reyes, MAR, Victor Manuelle and Lit Killah were stylish as they strutted down the magenta carpet before entering the show, which took place Thursday (Feb. 23) in Miami.
Argentine artists Lit Killah and Tiago PZK were among the first to arrive on the red carpet. Tiago was one of the first artists to perform alongside Elena Rose and Alvaro Diaz. Mexican singer-songwriter Sofía Reyes, who presented an award at the show, opted for a long gold dress. Meanwhile, Tokischa arrived wearing an edgy striped suit and a blond mustache as one of her accessories.

Maluma and Marc Anthony joined forces for a riveting performance of “La Fórluma” at Thursday’s (Feb. 23) Premio Lo Nuestro.
The Colombian crooner began his set offstage on a round table occupied by beautiful women, and he lit up a cigar while looking melancholic. Then, salsa legend Marc Antony entered the scene, and the vibrant rhythm exploded into a dazzling tropical frenzy. “No hay una fórmula para olvidar tus besos,” he wailed. “There is no formula to forget your kisses.”
Maluma wore a snazzy red corduroy suit and matching red-tinted glasses, while Anthony dressed in a gray buttoned-up blazer, black jeans and dark shades.
The pair were clearly having a blast, dancing, backed by their horn-powered salsa ensemble who further enlivened the crowd. “Comenzó la rumba, mamasita,” the singers declared, “The rumba just began.”
Produced by the two singers, as well as Edgar Barrera, Rude Boyz and Sergio George, the duet chronicles how no formula exists for securing love and devotion with a certain someone — but there’s always hope.
Just moments prior, Anthony won the award for album of the year — tropical for Pa’llá Voy. “I want to acknowledge all my colleagues from the bottom of my heart, each one of you inspires me — Tito, Victor, Puerto Rico!” he said in his acceptance speech. “In a room full of dreamers, we gave our lives to this craft, and after 30 years I stand here, and it was all worth a damn.”

Looking like a total goddess in gold, Ivy Queen gave a reggaeton master class at Thursday’s (Feb. 23) Premio Lo Nuestro. Ivy Queen performed a medley of her biggest hits, including “Te He Querido Te He Llorado,” “Que Lloren” and “Quiero Bailar,” surrounded by a troupe of women and men dancers.
Following her performance, Ivy Queen received the special Premio Lo Nuestro Legado Musical, making history as the first woman to get that honor.
“Thank you so much,” she said, visibly emotional. “I know what it is to get up without strength. I know what it is to hear someone tell you no, or that a type of music isn’t for you because you have ovaries. But I also heard a voice that told me, ‘don’t give up, Caballota.’ I celebrate this award with those that know me, that make me visible. And like Celia Cruz, an artist that’s inspired me, once said, as long as I breathe and aspire, I take on the role to elevate women with elegance. This is to all women who are filled with courage when they hear my music.”

With the rising new crop of urbano upstarts making waves across the Americas and beyond, one of the most exciting billings at Thursday’s Premio Lo Nuestro was Tiago PZK, Elena Rose and Alvaro Díaz. Each member — representing a distinct scene from across the Spanish-speaking continent — definitely delivered.
Donning a deep purple iridescent suit, Argentine trap star Tiago PZK was as vulnerable as ever with his confessional ballad “Bemaste.” He performed against a sunset backdrop that showed his silhouette, wearing sunglasses, and tenderly sang to the crowd, making it feel extraordinarily intimate. The song’s stripped-down keys and lo-fi production set the stage for honest lyricism as he candidly articulated what finding love and devotion can feel like, while navigating the all-consuming vortex of fame.
“I consider this song the first work of art of my career, conceptually and audio-visually, from the bottom of my heart,” Tiago PZK previously told Billboard Español in an email. “I don’t have any expectations, because before I have one, I’m simply fulfilled to have created this song and what it means to me. Do not put barriers to love.”
Elena Rose, who wore a silky pearlesque dress, sang “Bayamón,” which features an interpolation of Sister Nancy’s classic reggae song “Bam Bam”; she appeared amid a troupe of female dancers. Although an emerging artist herself, Elena Rose has been a creative force behind many a Latin pop hit. One of her most recent co-songwriting credits is “Por el Resto de Tu Vida,” the dazzling bolero-trap ballad performed by Christian Nodal and Tini.
Alvaro Díaz, dressed in black leather, also exhilarated, delivering his latest fashion-forward reggaeton cut “1000Canciones.”

Teaming up with Accion Opportunity Fund — “a financial support system for small businesses that advance racial, gender, and economic justice for all,” according to its website — a limited-edition pint inspired by Balvin’s vibrant brand has been designed for nine and 15-packs. A portion of the proceeds from every purchase, up to $150,000, will be donated to AOF by Miller Lite and will fund nearly 50 Latino business owners and entrepreneurs across the country.

Additionally, Miller Lite will be giving away up to 10,000 beers per week between March 1st and April 30th, and fans will have a chance to win exclusive J Balvin signed merch by visiting www.millerlite.com/jbalvin.
Below, the Colombian artist tells Billboard more about the initiative.
It’s not the first time you have teamed up with Miller Lite. Tell us about your new initiative and purpose behind “J Balvin’s Tab.”
We are back together, Miller Lite and J Balvin, to always support our Latino community with their small businesses and their entrepreneurial visions. We want to help entrepreneurs learn how to elevate their businesses and guide them on where they should be. And also help them financially so that they can make the right investments and grow. When I was starting my career, I had no one to tell me where to go. Since I didn’t have that, I had to learn on my own, and now I want to help others so that they have an easier path.
On the limited-edition bottle, we see some of your signature elements, such as the lightning bolt, the happy faces, and the colors: Why are these images so representative of your brand?
All of that is really genuine to what I’ve always wanted to show. It’s not like I wanted to design a lightning bolt or a smiley face just because. When I got to the [music] business I wanted to change the perspective that I was bad or malicious. Obviously coming from Colombia, with such a dark past, I wanted to raise joy, and that’s where the smileys come from. It became like a trademark. They [the designs] always appear in my collaborations, in my shows, in this campaign, and in everything that has to be related to J Balvin. It is a very powerful brand.

Now that you’re encouraging Latino business owners with this campaign, what has been the best business advice you’ve ever received?
There are many, but one of the best ones that I have been very close to is really looking for a career that you are passionate about and that you really enjoy. Many times people work to make money and they focus more on making money than on what they really love. I say follow your dreams because sooner or later you will see the results.
On that note, what type of business would you like to start that’s not related to music?
We are on the same page because I love fashion and it has always been one of my passions, just like music and architecture, so I would like to do a fashion project that has a global impact on all Latinos.
Now, if you can share a couple of beers with two colleagues and talk about business, which artists would it be with?
Wow! That was good! I know I would work with Anitta, I know she’s a great person, and I know she’s focused. And, wow, not everyone is focused on business, you know? It is still very respectable. I would say with Maluma too, he’s also a very entrepreneurial man.
