Today, April 27th, marked another memorable and historic day in the entertainment world as the red carpet was rolled out and some of the most consummate musicians and iconic Latin artists made their way to the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The award show was absolutely stupendous and Telemundo gave viewers a night to remember from start to finish highlighting the celebrities’ outstanding red carpet arrivals and showcasing the breathtaking performances, wonderful acceptance speeches, and excellent television premieres at the renowned and prestigious award show held at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida. The 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards had so many remarkable highlights and it certainly was a trending topic on every social media platform.
The 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards honored the greatest in Latin music. Nicky Jam was honored with the most awards at the event with a total of six. The legendary, late musician Juan Gabriel received five awards at the event and singing sensation Enrique Iglesias received four awards. In addition, Banda Sinaloense MS De Sergio Lizarraga, CNCO, Gente de Zona and Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho were also all awarded at the event.
The extraordinary performers at the Billboard Latin Music Awards had attendees both at the event and at home up on their feet, dancing and singing along to all of the brilliant performances. Daddy Yankee kicked off the show with a performance of “Hula Hoop” alongside the Blue Man Group and he later joined Ozuna to perform “Rompe Corazones.” Daddy Yankee made his way back onto the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage as he joined Luis Fonsi (who was awarded with the Billboard Spirit of Hope Award) to perform their hit, viral song “Despacito” for the first time ever on television. The one and only Jennifer Lopez (who was awarded with the Telemundo Star Award) performed her song “Mirate” from her highly-anticipated, new album.
Another exceptional performance was given by Ricardo Arjona, who was also awarded at the event with the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award. Nicky Jam took the stage to perform “El Amante” and was then joined by Vin Diesel for “El Ganador.” CNCO, Banda MS, Reik, J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Pedro Capo, Luis Figueroa, Christian Pagan, Wisin, Yandel, Alejandro Fernandez, Morat, Gente de Zona, and Zion y Lennox all gave mesmerizing performances at the event as well.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards was truly a star-studded event with even more internationally acclaimed artists taking the stage as presenters and singer Johann Vera and social media influencer Baby Ariel joining in on the fun for some exciting coverage on social media networks.
