Karol G and Feid sweep the ninth edition of the Latin American Music Awards

Karol G and Feid, the couple of the moment, swept the ninth edition of the Latin American Music Awards by becoming the two most awarded artists of the meeting, winning six awards each.

This is the second consecutive year in which Karol G stands out as the most decorated artist of this celebration of Latin music, which for the first time held a bilingual edition from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Colombian singer, who was not present, won in sections such as artist of the year, song of the year for ‘TQG’, her collaboration with Shakira, or album of the year for ‘Tomorrow will be nice’, while Feid triumphed in categories such as streaming artist of the year or global Latin song of the year for ‘Classy 101’, alongside Young Miko.

“I wouldn’t have won this if it weren’t for the people who listen to my music, I hope it multiplies to Colombia,” said the Colombian, also a Colombian, upon holding his first prize in his hands.

Peso Pluma, who along with Feid was the most nominated of the night with twelve mentions each, won in two categories: best regional Mexican album for ‘Génesis’, and best regional Mexican collaboration for their song ‘She dances alone’, along with Eslabón Armado.
