Sony Music artists rose to the occasion, by winning an outstanding number of awards and energizing the 2014 Billboard Latin Music Awards gala, broadcast live by Telemundo from the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida.
It was a spectacular evening with an all-star lineup, including Marc Anthony, who delighted the audience with “Vivir mi vida” and his most recent hit “Cambio de Piel,” and was the big winner of the evening winning the awards for “Artist of the Year,” “Hot Latin Song of the Year,” “Airplay Song of the Year,” “Digital Song of the Year,” “Top Latin Album of the Year,” “Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year, Male,” “Latin Pop Song of the Year,” “Tropical Song of the Year,” “Tropical Album of the Year” and “Tropical Albums Artist of the Year, Solo.”

Puerto Rican icon Chayanne came back strong performing to the beat of the much-awaited world debut of his single “Humanos A Marte,” a tantalizing preview of his new album to be released in the summer 2014.
Colombian singer Carlos Vives won the “Spirit of Hope Award” for his humanitarian work and singer-songwriter Franco De Vita earned this year’s “Billboard Hall of Fame Award” for his long musical trajectory, followed by a heart-felt medley of his big hits, including “Un Buen Perdedor,” “Te Amo” and “No Basta.”
Prince Royce energized the audience with his ballad “Nada”, followed by a Portuguese version of his single “Darte un beso” with Michel Teló. The bachata icon also picked up four awards including “Hot Latin Song Artist of the Year, Male,” “Streaming Song of the Year” and “Tropical Songs Artist of the Year, Solo.”

Their performances were impeccable and they deserve the awards they received,” said Afo Verde, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Latin America, Spain and Portugal. “It was an unforgettable night for Sony Music Latin’s family. Congratulations to all of our fantastic artists,” he concluded.
Another memorable moment was when urban superstar Wisin opened the ceremony with Sean Paul to sing “Baby Danger,” while renowned Mexican pop star Cristian Castro created his own kind of vibe with “Déjame Conmigo,” the first single from his most recent production, “En Primera Fila – Día 2”.
Other performers who did not miss this evening were Gilberto Santa Rosa and Natalia Jiménez, who walked to the stage to present an award.
