Miami (USA).- Arcángel, Juanes, Los Bukis, Manolo Díaz and Paloma San Basilio will receive special awards during the ‘Premio lo nuestro’ gala, a show that will recognize the best of Latin music on February 19 in Miami, as announced this Monday by TelevisaUnivision.

This will be the first time that the Spanish-speaking network will present these awards that pay tribute to the career and legacy of figures in Latin music. Arcángel will be recognized with the ‘Premio lo nuestro urbano Icon’ for being “one of the fundamental figures in the history and evolution of urban music”, the channel indicated in a statement. The American singer, of whom “his unmistakable voice, authentic style and artistic vision” stood out, is also nominated in four categories for the ‘Premio lo nuestro 2026’, including best male artist of the year in the urban genre. Juanes will receive the ‘Premio lo nuestro a la trayectoria’, in honor of a career “marked by authenticity, constant evolution, and a deep connection with his roots”. The Colombian singer, author of hits like ‘La camisa negra’ or ‘A Dios le pido’, has managed to captivate several generations with his music while transmitting messages of identity, sensitivity, and social awareness to the world, according to the network. Juanes has two nominations at this year’s gala. The ‘Premio lo nuestro legado musical’ will be for the Mexican band ‘Los Bukis’, whose music “has accompanied entire generations and is an essential part of the emotional heritage of Latin music.” The icons of romantic ballads have nine ‘Premio lo nuestro’ awards. The fourth special award, known as the ‘Visionary Award of Our Heritage’, will honor maestro Manolo Díaz, considered by TelevisaUnivision “a key figure behind countless careers, songs and moments that marked the history of Latin music”.
