The highest-rated annual special among Hispanics in the United States, Premio Lo Nuestro, is set to take place on Thursday, February 22 at 8pm ET on Univision. The show will broadcast from Miami’s American Airlines Arena and will include performances by Julieta Venegas, Gloria Trevi, and Fonseca,just too name a few.
The “Premio Lo Nuestro” (“Our Award” in English) presents awards to the winners from the five most popular Latin music genres-Pop, Tropical, Regional Mexican, Rock and Urban and Video of the Year (source : Hispanic Tips)
Believe it or not, more Hispanics watched “Premio Lo Nuestro” last year than the Latin Billboard Awards, Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Emmy Awards combined. That’s approximately 11 million Hispanic viewers for 2006. Last year, I was one of those 11 million for 5 minutes when mom called informing me that Shakira was performing. I’m not a Spanish music fan, but I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to Shakira ( who I’ve loved since her pre-crossover/blonde hair days)
and Mana-I am weak.In case you are interested, below is a comprised list of the nominees in their respective categories:
