The 2022 Latin American Music Awards took place on April 21 as Latin stars from Bad Bunny to Becky G strutted into the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Los Vegas. The 7th annual award show -- co-hosted by Rafael Amaya, Jacqueline Bracamontes and Cristin de la Fuente -- was broadcast to fans on Telemundo and Peacock.
"In the past few years, we have seen a huge rise in popularity for Latin music that has pushed it mainstream, so we are thrilled to take the Latin AMAs to Las Vegas for the first time and give our worldwide audience a first-rate production to showcase their favorite artists," Ronald Day, the President of Entertainment and Content for Telemundo said in a statement.
Nominees for the award show were announced in March and showed that Bad Bunny led the list with 10 total nominations. He stood out at last year's ceremony when he scooped up five prizes, including Album of the Year. Jhay Cortez followed the "Yo Perreo Sola" singer with 8 total nominations.
Sebastin Yatra joined the list with a total five nominations. He took to the Latin AMAs after his notable appearance on the Oscars red carpet where he was nominated for Best Original Song for his Encanto track "Dos Oruguitas."
