Ángela Aguilar showcased her graceful command of the stage, performing two breathtaking renditions of “Ahi Donde Me Ven” and “En Realidad.” She won three awards – “Artista Femenina Año,” “Canción Mariachi del Año” for “Dime como Quieres” featuring Christian Nodal, and “Premio Orgullo Latino del Año.”

El Fantasma showed the appreciative Mexico City crowd the strength and charisma that has rocketed him to superstardom in the Regional Mexican music space with his performance of “Soy Buen Amigo.” Fantasma took home “Artista Masculino del Año,” and “Canción Norteña del Año” for “Cabrón y Vago” featuring Los 2 Carnales.
