Last Thursday was a magical night for the Queen of Reggaeton, Ivy Queen, and for the entire urban genre. “La diva, la potra, la caballota”, received a special tribute in the first edition of Premios Tu Música Urbana, which took place in Puerto Rico at the prestigious “Coliseo” and aired on the Telemundo network.
It all began with an incredible and brilliant arrival at the red carpet of the awards, in which Ivy was accompanied by eight drummers and eight drag queens replicating some of Ivy’s most iconic looks throughout her career.
Ivy also received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” thanks to her immense contribution to the genre. Her tribute began with a beautiful montage including some of the most memorable moments in her career, and when taking the stage, The Queen of Reggaeton, was received with an unforgettable and very emotive standing ovation. Taking to the microphone in front of all her fans and some of her most esteemed colleagues, Ivy expressed:
Who would say that after more than 20 years, on a day like today, in my hometown of Puerto Rico, that my career is recognized while I’m still living, I thank you immensely for the everlasting affection and support, I am grateful that there is a strong, feminine presence today in the Urban genre.
Ivy Queen, recently released her new EP, “Llego La Queen”, a collection of 7 songs in which once again she exposes her versatility and impeccable flow and style and continues her promotional tour with a show in Los Angeles this Thursday, March 28th and in May for her much anticipated visit to Spain.
