The title of big winner at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards went to two artists: Feid and Karol G.
The Colombian hitmakers each took home six awards. Karol won artist of the year, beating out acts like Bad Bunny, Carin León, and Peso Pluma. She also nabbed album of the year (Mañana Será Bonito) and song of the year (“TQG”) with Shakira. While the Bichota was not in attendance, as she’s currently on her MSB Latin America Tour, Feid was, where he performed alongside Farruko and Jay Wheeler in a special tribute to Yandel.
It was a special night for Yandel who received one of the three special awards of the night. The Puerto Rican hitmaker was honored with the Latin AMA Pioneer award. In his emotional speech, he thanked other artists who’ve collaborated with him along the way. “Thanks to my work, my team, and to all the artists and colleagues who have collaborated with me during all this time, all this way of music,” he said. Among them my partner of many battles, my brother Wisin, I love you with all my heart, my brother.” The other two special awards went to Ricardo Montaner and Banda MS, who each took home a Latin AMA Legacy award.
The first category award of the night went to Peso Pluma, who won best regional Mexican album for his history-making set Génesis. “I just want to thank you for all the love you have shown corridos, the love you’ve shown me,” the Mexican star said onstage. “Thanks to those who make this possible, especially to you my fans because you have made this wave of corridos even bigger.”
Just a few awards were handed out throughout the three-hour show, which was instead stacked with back-to-back performances. Those that did go up to pick up awards included Feid, who first nabbed streaming artist of the year, and Peso returned with Eslabon Armado for best collaboration in regional Mexican (“Ella Baila Sola”). Carin León also took the stage not only to premiere his song “Cuando La Vida Sea Trago,” he also went up to receive best artist – regional Mexican.
Other performances of the night included several premieres, including Marc Anthony, who sang “Ale Ale” from his new album Muevense. Country singer Jennifer Nettles joined singer-songwriter Noel Schajris for the world premiere of “Love’s Still Here” from her upcoming bilingual album.
Becky G, Thalia, Alejandra Espinoza and Carlos Ponce co-hosted the awards ceremony, which was presented in a combination of English and Spanish — with hosts and presenters literally speaking half Spanish, half English at the same time. For some it came naturally, for others, not so much and at times, sounded awkward.
