Prince Royce and Gambito Ballesteros took center stage at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards to perform “Cosas de la Peda,” their first collaborative effort, which took them to the top of the Bulletin boardTropical Airplay chart earlier this year.
The track, a mix of bachata and corridos tumbados, is part of Prince Royce's album Llamada Perdidaand it's up for Tropical Song of the Year. It's the first time Prince Royce and Ballesteros performed “Cosas de la Peda” and they did so with a full band, which included trombones, acoustic and electric guitars and a tololoche. Wearing steampunk-inspired outfits, the pair danced to the beat of bachata, the style that primarily powers the twisty track.
“He sent me the song and I added some parts to it and now we're nominated, thank God,” Ballesteros said Bulletin board before taking the stage, explaining how the collaboration came about. “And it's good that they gave us this space to present it here.”
