Premios Heat took place at the Margaritaville Reserve Cap Cana in Punta Cana.
By Jessica Roiz
A wave of Latin music artists united at the Margaritaville Reserve Cap Cana in Punta Cana Thursday night (June 2) for the seventh annual Heat Latin Music Awards.
Following a star-studded green carpet — where artists such as Goyo, Kiko El Crazy, Ingratax, and Justin Quiles flaunted their best summer looks — the awards show unveiled the winners in its 17 categories and showcased energetic performances.
Wisin nabbed best male artist, Karol G won best female artist, Ryan Castro won best new artist, and El Alfa took home best Dominican artist for the second consecutive year, to name a few.
In addition, the Premios Heat organizers awarded Colombian vallenato star Carlos Vives with the Premio Compromiso special award for the social work that his initiative “Tras La Perla” is doing in his native city of Santa Marta. Mexican artist Mijares was honored with the Premio Oro, in celebration of his more than 30-year trajectory in the Latin pop and ballad genre.
