The geniuses of "Te Boté", Nio García and Casper Mágico, told NBC News that they still remember the day when they sat on a carpet in Orlando to write the song – without imagining that it would be the same. she would never become a Billboard hit.

"One of the key factors is to make sure we make good music, but by doing that we also have a great remix," said Casper Mágico. "But we never imagined that it would become such an important success," added Nio García.

Another Reggaeton singer, AA Anniversary, also won a prize in the category of Best New Artist.

In the middle of the reggaeton wave, the group of CNCO Latin pop boys won three wins, including the pop album of the year, after playing its bilingual single "Pretend" on the Latin Billboards scene.

"If you feel comfortable with that, we should do it more. Many people are now writing songs in Spanish and English, "NBC News, his group mate Joel Pimentel, who grew up in English, told NBC News. "We encourage people to go out and do it [singing bilingual songs] because people will love. "

The Mexican trio Reik has won the title of Latin-pop song of the year for his title "Me Niego" with Ozuna and the reggaeton giant Wisin, inscribing himself in a growing trend to associate urban music with pop.

The Latin billboards also highlighted the rise of urban female artists such as Anitta, Becky G, Karol G and Natti Natasha, all of whom were nominated in the predominantly male gender.

Dominican urban singer Natti Natasha became the first female artist to win Best New Artist in at least four years. She was nominated with Colombian reggaeton singer Karol G in the same category.

"In many ways we have built our own way," said the Colombian reggaeton singer in Spanish at the Latin Music Week in Las Vegas. "I have the impression that there was a lack of habit of listening to us and listening to our lyrics in urban music … But the fact is that the doors have opened for us now. "

Shakira was the other winner, who won two awards. Cardi B has been named crossover artist of the year with "I Like It", with J Balvin and Bad Bunny.
