Español“It” couple Jay Wheeler and Zhamira Zambrano took center stage to deliver a swoon-worthy performance at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards on Thursday (April 25).
Totally matching in all-black outfits, Zambrano in a slick tube-top long dress and Wheeler in an all-leather ensemble, the lovebirds performed “Extrañándote” accompanied by a live orchestra for a more intimate touch. The song was released late last year but has already become a timeless song perfect to help kick off the first 30 minutes of the Latin AMAs ceremony.
The collab — the second single from her forthcoming debut album — scored Zambrano her first top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Airplay chart earlier this year. The special performance comes on the heels of Wheeler’s latest album, Música Buena Para Días Malos, which released earlier today.
The 2024 Latin American Music Awards took place Thursday, April 25, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas via Univision. Hitmakers Feid and Peso Pluma lead this year’s list of nominations with 12 nods each. The Colombian singer and Mexican star, who are up for the coveted artist of the year award and album of the year award, are followed by top nominees Bad Bunny (11), Grupo Frontera (11), Karol G (9), Shakira (9), Eslabon Armado (8) and Fuerza Regida (8).
Thalia, Becky G, Alejandra Espinoza and Carlos Ponce co-hosed the award ceremony that presented in a combination of English and Spanish, marking the first time any major U.S. award show featured a bilingual broadcast.
