Ana Bárbara, Anitta and more: The best photos from Premio Lo Nuestro 2024

Although unable to attend, Karol G was the top winner at Premio Lo Nuestro 2024 with nine awards, including artist of the year, followed by Maluma, Carin León, Shakira and Peso Pluma (the latter two also absent), with four trophies each. . But the highlight of Thursday night's (February 22) event wasn't the winners themselves, but the performances.

With more than 20 musical acts, the 36th annual Premio Lo Nuestro Awards was a colorful spectacle that brought to the stage some of the biggest Latin music artists of yesterday and today. From those honored with special awards such as Don Omar, Olga Tañón and Ana Bárbara — who were undoubtedly among our favorites — to Yuridia and Ángela Aguilar, Anitta, Camilo and Evaluna (showing off her second pregnancy recently announced), Grupo Frontera, Chayanne and more, there was music for all tastes and ages.

Maluma, who led the list of nominees with 14 nods, opened the show with his two new forays into Mexican music with his hit “Según Quién” and the corrido feliz “Bling Bling” (both performed without the partners of Carin León, Octavio Cuadras and Grupo Marca Registrada, respectively).

Among other highlights, Gente de Zona featured “Celia,” which uses original recordings from Salsa queen Celia Cruz to create an infectious mix of two of her classics: “Ella Tiene Fuego” and “La Negra Tiene Tumbao”. And Carin León took the stage with Kane Brown to premiere their new duet, “The One (Pero No Como Yo)” live.

The 2024 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards aired live on Univision and were co-hosted by Galilea Montijo, Angélica Vale and Clarissa Molina. Also present were mainstream artists such as Kane Brown and Machine Gun Kelly, who took the stage with Carin León and Don Omar, respectively.
