“Music unites us all,” as one of the correspondents mentioned in the start of the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2018. The awards show emanated from the Mandalay Bay Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 20 year anniversary celebration award show was hosted by actress Gaby Espino. Alongside TV presenter Marco Antonio Regil. The award music show was filled remembering good memories from past Billboard Latin Music Awards shows. Also many awards given to the winners and brilliant performances from JLo, Cardi B, J Balvin and a more line-up of music stars.
The Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin held the very first performance of the night. He sang with with Reggeaton artists, Wisin and Yandel.
Then a Mexican music band Reik, performed their latest hit “Me Niego” (I Deny). With the Reggeaton artist Ozuna. Wisin too joined them both on stage. The artist Sofia Reyes sang with Reggeaton artist De La Guetto. Then the famous Colombian rap artist Karol G went on to put on a show with one of her well known songs “Ahora Me llama” (Now He Calls Me). Then a Mexican band Calibre 50 (winner of Hot Latin Song of The Year), performed one of their songs.
The young male band, CNCO (winner of Latin Pop Artist of The Year) performed onstage. Their new song and the ladies screamed to their melody. Also, J Balvin (winner of Latin Rhythm Song of The Year) performed two of his latest songs.
One of the most waited performances of the night was JLO’s. She performed just a few hours from the music video release of her newest song “El Anillo” (The Ring).
The Mexican artist, Christian Nodal (winner of Mexican Regional Artist Award) sang one of his hits.
Someone else whose performance was on fire besides JLO’s performance, was the one from Daddy Yankee (winner of Solo Artist Rhythm of The Year).
A little while after initiating his number one track song “Dura” (Hard) Daddy Yankee was accompanied by artists Becky G and Natti Natasha who stole the spotlight and rap artist Bad Bunny. They all gave an astounding vibe to the crowd.
Besides Daddy Yankee’s performance with his song “Dura” (Hard) being exceptional, Nicky Jam (winner of Top Latin Album of The Year) and J Balvin sang their new hit “X-EQUIS” which was also amazing.
An artist that returned to the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage after being absent for a while, performing his latest song “Di Que Sientes Tu” (Say What You Feel) was Chayanne.
Spaniard artist David Bisbal had given an intense significant performance in the past. At the Billboard Latin Music Awards and last night’s performance was different. Because he sang with artist Sebastian Yatra.
Most waited performances were artists Maluma (winner of Artist of The Year On Social Media) and then Cardi B’s alongside Reggeaton artist Ozuna (winner of Artist of The Year Award), singing their Duo song “La Modelo” (The Model).
The most awarded artist of the night, Luis Fonsi sang his latest hit, “Echame La Culpa” (Blame it on Me) which he created with artist Demi Lovato. Since she was not present, Karol G and another artist sang her part.
For a couple of minutes the famous Mexican band–Mana were recognized for their hard artistic work throughout the year. Mana was given the “Billboard Trayectory Award” and they too performed few of their best hits.
