Keep reading to find out!<\/p>\n Marc Anthony and Wisin got everyone dancing with the world premiere of their collaboration \u201cQue Me Quiera Ma.\u201d On a yellow-dominated stage resembling the facade of a hotel, and surrounded by a body of dancers in matching bikinis, the salsa icon and the reggaeton superstar turned up the heat with their lively new song. It was a moment that cheered up the audience after a series of less impressive performances.<\/p>\n \u201cEsto es Panam\u00e1, aqu\u00ed no camina cualquiera,\u201d <\/em>Venezuela\u2019s rising star Louis BPM shouted at the start of his set alongside Puerto Rican maverick Farruko, who donned a bulletproof vest. Both dressed in army-inspired gear, together they kicked off with the infectious trap number \u201cPancc,\u201d the lead track from their recent joint album 167BPM<\/em>. Wearing a durag and a shirt that read, \u201cYo vivo en Venezuela y no quiero guerra,\u201d Louis struck a balance between resistance and a plea for peace. The duo kept the momentum alive with their electrifying reggaet\u00f3n number \u201cOe Oe,\u201d amping up the crowd before being joined by dreadlocked Domincian artist Makako el Cerebro for the rhythmic \u201cMaracaibo.\u201d<\/p>\n Natti Natasha looked like a fairy as she revealed the gender of her baby during the premiere of her emotional ballad \u201cTraje Aqu\u00ed.\u201d In what marked one of the most moving moments of the evening, the Dominican star \u2014 dressed in an ample, flowing white dress \u2014 sang sweetly accompanied by the National Youth Symphony Orchestra before a pink light illuminated her, clearly indicating what she\u2019s expecting. It\u2019s a girl!<\/p>\n Premios Juventud featured a moving tribute to the legacy of Panamanian songwriting. Duo Gaitanes and Omar Alfanno opened the segment with a rendition of \u201cA Puro Dolor,\u201d the pop ballad written by Alfanno and made famous by Son by Four in 2020. They followed with \u201cMuy Dentro de Mi,\u201d and the tribute culminated with Erika Ender, one of the nation\u2019s most celebrated songwriters, taking the stage to perform her global phenomenon \u201cDespacito,\u201d a song she co-wrote that forever changed the landscape of Latin music. It was another moment of Panamanian pride, appropriate and well-deserved for celebration.<\/p>\n Carlos Vives delivered an invigorating showcase that blended music, passion, and purpose. Honored as an \u201cAgente de Cambio\u201d at the award ceremony, Vives took the stage in a sleek black ensemble, exuding charisma and heart as he paid homage to the power of music as a force for good. Joined by the legendary Sergio George, who pounded the piano keys with electrifying energy, and the always-dapper Grupo Niche, dressed in pristine white suits, the stage lit up with energetic salsa. Together, they delivered Vives\u2019 timeless hit \u201cLa Tierra del Olvido,\u201d and \u201cFabricando Fantasias\u201d\u00a0originally by Tito Nieves.<\/p>\n A sparkling black-clad salsa troupe danced around them, adding even more fire to the performance. The moment culminated with Wisin presenting Vives his well-deserved award, acknowledging him as a shining example of someone who uses his talent to build a better future.<\/p>\n Premios Juventud kicked off with a powerful musical number honoring Panama, featuring Boza, Farruko, Los Rabanes, Nando Boom, Natti Natasha, Samy and Sandra Sandoval, Sech, and Willie Col\u00f3n. The performance united musical genres and generations in an explosion of music, dance, and color, with dancers in traditional costumes and dozens of musicians on stage.<\/p>\n In a medley of Panamanian classics (or songs alluding to Panama) \u2014 from Col\u00f3n and H\u00e9ctor Lavoe\u2019s \u201cLa Murga\u201d to the Sandovals\u2019 \u201cLa Gallina Fina,\u201d Los Rabanes\u2019 \u201cSe\u00f1orita a M\u00ed Me Gusta Su Style,\u201d Nando Boom\u2019s \u201cEllos Benia Dem Bow,\u201d and El General\u2019s \u201cQu\u00e9 Es Lo Que Quiere Esa Nena,\u201d covered by Sech, Boza, and Farruko \u2014 it was the perfect start to the evening and set the bar high.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
