Later, Univision personality Cristina Saralegui made one of the night’s most moving award presentations to international superstar Ricky Martin, who crossed two continents and an ocean to personally accept the first ever “Máxima Excelencia” award, as selected by the public from all 19 previous “Premio a la Excelencia” winners.

The star-studded show kicked off with a crowd-pleasing performance by Colombian singer/songwriter Juanes singing his chart-toppers “Me Enamora” and “Gotas de Agua Dulce.”

Later, in one of the evening’s most colorful numbers, ranchero superstar Pepe Aguilar sang the classic hit “100% Mexicano” in the midst of a recreation of a typical Mexican plaza fiesta, complete with folkloric dancers, craft kiosks, and typical decorations.

The next musical number featured international pop idol Enrique Iglesias singing his current #1 hit “¿Dónde Están Corazón?” with a 30 member children’s choir followed by “Dímelo.”

It was also a big night for cumbia fans as one of the genres most popular groups, Cruz Martinez Presenta Los Super Reyes, paid a rousing homage to the Jackson Five with their rendition of “Quédate Más” and their hit song “El Rey.”
