Multi-platinum Latin music singer/songwriter, actress and philanthropist Gloria Trevi received the BMI President’s Award in recognition of her influential role revolutionizing Latin Pop. To celebrate, Trevi electrified the audience with a stunning performance of a medley of hits including “Todos Me Miran,” El Favor De La Soledad,” “Psicofonía,” “Me Siento Tan Sola,” and “Doctor Psiquiatra.”
Horacio Palencia/GSALL Music was honored with BMI Regional Mexican Song of the Year for the chart-topping hit “No Me Pidas Perdón.” J Balvin/Universal-Música Unica Publishing received the BMI Contemporary Latin Song of the Year award for his reggaeton megahit “Ay Vamos.” Horacio Palencia and Jesús Omar Tarazón were both given the BMI Latin Songwriter of the Year honors for each writing four songs that rank among the year’s most performed. With fourteen songs among the most performed, Sony/ATV Music Publishing secured the honors for the prestigious BMI Latin Publisher of the Year award.
The 23rd annual BMI Latin Music Awards were hosted by BMI President and CEO Mike O’Neill and BMI Vice President, Latin Music Delia Orjuela. BMI represents Latin songwriters based in the U.S. and around the globe through reciprocal agreements with sister societies in the songwriters’ home countries.
