Tributes, performances galore at 'Premio Lo Nuestro' awards

MIAMI (AP) - Bad Bunny topped Univision's 'œPremio Lo Nuestro'ť awards with seven wins on a night that included a tribute to late Mexican singer-composer Armando Mazanero and performances by some of the biggest names in Latin music.

Among the winners at Thursday's show were pop singer Camilo and the Mexican band Grupo Firme, which took home five awards apiece. Karol G, Romeo Santos and Lenin Ramirez each won three awards.

Bad Bunny's awards included the night's top honor, artist of the year, as well as album of the year and best urban artist of the year. He did not attend the ceremony.

The performance packed show at Miami's American Airlines Arena included performances by Selena Gomez and Luis Fonsi, who debuted his newest song, 'œVacio.'ť The show, in its 33rd year, also included a tribute to salsa legend Johnny Pacheco, who died earlier this week at 85.

A total of 147 artists were nominated in 34 categories honoring various musical styles, including pop, urban, tropical and regional Mexican.

Marc Anthony joined reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee and producer Sergio George to perform their song, 'œDe Vuelta Pa' La Vuelta."

The show included the performance debuts of several new songs, including Anuel AA and Ozuna performing the songs 'œRD'ť and 'œAntes'ť from their 'œLos Dioses'ť album. CNCO also premiered their song 'œTan Enamorados.'ť

Prince Royce joined the stage with Natti Natasha, who announced she was pregnant during the ceremony.
