MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Estrella Media, the #1 producer of Spanish-language content in the U.S. and the leading Spanish language multi-platform media company, held its 2021 Premios de la Radio event, live tonight, Wednesday, November 10, at Foro Expo Santa Fe in Mexico City. Broadcast on EstrellaTV in the US and TV Azteca One in Mexico and Latin America, over 13 awards were presented in the on-air ceremony.

Leading the winners were three of the most talked about artists in 2021: Grupo Firme (five awards), Ángela Aguilar (three) and El Fantasma (two).

Grupo Firme kicked off the show with a commanding musical performance with fellow nominees Carin Leon and Lenin Ramirez. The group quickly found themselves onstage all night, taking home five Premios de la Radio awards for “Artista del Año,” “Grupo Norteno del Año,” “Cancion Banda del Año” for “Ya Superame,” “Colaboracion del Año” for “Yo ya no Vuelvo Contigo” with Lenin Ramírez, and “Premio Orgullo Latino del Año.” Additionally, their manager received Manager of the Year.

Ángela Aguilar showcased her graceful command of the stage, performing two breathtaking renditions of “Ahi Donde Me Ven” and “En Realidad.” She won three awards – “Artista Femenina Año,” “Canción Mariachi del Año” for “Dime como Quieres” featuring Christian Nodal, and “Premio Orgullo Latino del Año.”

El Fantasma showed the appreciative Mexico City crowd the strength and charisma that has rocketed him to superstardom in the Regional Mexican music space with his performance of “Soy Buen Amigo.” Fantasma took home “Artista Masculino del Año,” and “Canción Norteña del Año” for “Cabrón y Vago” featuring Los 2 Carnales.

One of the highlights of the evening was the three “Tributo a los Grandes de Mexico” awards and tributes to Aída Cuevas, Pepe Aguilar and Vicente Fernández. Legendary Mexican singer Cuevas was the first tribute performance, wowing the crowd singing her “El Pastor” and being presented with her award by La Chicuela and Nieto Aida. Aguilar performed a mini concert for the loving crowd, solidifying his legacy in the industry with performances of “Por Mujeres Como Tu,” “Ni Contigo Ni Sin Ti,” “Me Vas A Extranar,” and “100% Mexican.” The final tribute was a moving and powerful one to the legendary Vicente Fernández featuring Eduin Caz of Grupo Firme, Alan and Walo of Banda MS, Carin Leon, Natalia Jimenez, Leonardo Aguilar and Cuevas.
