2023 is a huge year for Latin music and artists!
According to reports, Karol G was one of the biggest stars in the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2023, bringing home a whopping five awards, including the prestigious Spirit of Hope honor.
"This is probably one of the most special awards I've ever received in my entire career," the Colombian artist said during her acceptance speech.
"One of the reasons why it is nice and special to participate in these movements is that it gives us the possibility of receiving help from companies that seek us out around the world to support great projects of which you are also a part, because what we do in tickets, in record sales, we also direct it to the foundation," she continued, referring to her philanthropic work with Con Cora Foundation.
What makes the Spirit of Hope Award more special is that it was first received by one of the legendary Latina artists in music history, Selena Quintanilla.
