Bad Bunny, Farruko, and Karol G were among the major winners at this year’s Billboard Latin Music Awards. Bad Bunny took home nine awards in big categories, including Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, Top Latin Album of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year.
Farruko won four awards, each of them for his massive hit “Pepas.” Karol G, meanwhile, secured three awards, including Hot Latin Songs Female Artist of the Year and Top Latin Albums Female Artist of the Year. The event also recognized rising talent in the world of música Mexicana, a genre that continues to grow at a global scale. The 18-year-old singer-songwriter Ivan Cornejo won New Artist of the Year, while Grupo Firme was recognized with the award for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Duo or Group.
Several veteran artists were honored as well: Chayanne won the Billboard Icon Award, Christina Aguilera won the Billboard Spirit of Hope Award, José Feliciano won the Billboard Legend Award, Nicky Jam won the Billboard Hall of Fame Award, and Raphael won the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award.
The awards ceremony took place Thursday night at the Watsco Center in Florida and was broadcast live on Telemundo.
