In a night full of stars and memorable performances, LOS40 Music Awards Santander 2023 once again paid tribute to the best pop music at a national and international level, with urban music being the main protagonist of the evening. Held last Friday, November 3 at the WiZink Center in Madrid, artists such as Feid, Ozuna, Aitana and Manuel Turizo emerged as the big winners of the night.

Among the big winners were names like Feid and Manuel Turizo, who dominated the Global Latin category, winning three awards each. Feid received the award for Best Urban Artist, Best Urban Song for “Classy 101” and Best Urban Collaboration with Ozuna for “Hey Mor”. For his part, Manuel Turizo shone with his “2000 Tour” and his album “2000”, and for “El Merengue”, he was awarded for Best Latin Song.

At the national level, Aitana confirmed she was in a favorite status by receiving awards for Best Video Clip for “Las Babys” and Best Album for “Alpha.” In addition, the ceremony was a showcase for emerging and established talent, with awards for artists of the caliber of Ana Mena, Loreen, Camilo, Vicco and Álvaro de Luna.
