For the first time at the Premios Tu Música Urbano awards, female artists took over the spotlight. The annual celebration — which was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Thursday — had Karol G taking home the gold with nine awards, including artist of the year, top social artist, tour of the year for “Bichota,” and collaboration of the year for the Becky G-featuring “Mamiii.”
The ceremony featured a variety of 19 performances, most notably, Christian Nodal performed his regional urban single “Botella Tras Botella” and joined Valeria Fernandez for an unexpected regional urban medley. Farruko also captivated audiences with a performance of his songs “Guerrero,” his latest track “Nazareno” with DJ Adoni, and the song “Luz” with Panamanian Akim.
Hosted by Omar Chaparro, Zuleyka Rivera and Carmen Villalobo — the show awarded artists in 34 categories, including the specialdedicatoria award which was given to Farukko for “[having] defended their music, taking the genre to a higher level, and are the pure definition of the urban movement.” The contribución award, which is given to artists who “weren’t afraid to try what the urban sounds had to offer,” and honors them for expanding the genre, went to Victor Manuelle.
Bad Bunny took home the award for composer of the year and J Balvin and Maria Becerra’s “Qué Más Pues?” was crowned song of the year.
Premios Tu Música Urbano honors the growing urban movement and celebrates its extended reach thanks to fusions with other genres such as pop, tropical and Mexican regional. Find all the night’s biggest winners below.
