The Lo Nuestro Award for Tropical Song of the Year (or Lo Nuestro Award for Tropical/Salsa Song of the Year ) is an honor presented annually by American network Univision . The Lo Nuestro Awards were first awarded in 1989 and has been given annually since to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music.[ 1] The nominees and winners were originally selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte .[ 1] [ 2] As of 2004, the winners are selected through an online survey.[ 3] The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef .[ 1]
The award was first presented to "Ven, Devórame Otra Vez " by Puerto-Rican artist Lalo Rodríguez . American singer Marc Anthony is the most awarded performer with four awards and is also the most nominated performer with sixteen nominations. In 2001, "A Puro Dolor " by Puerto-Rican band Son by Four won Lo Nuestro Awards for both Tropical Song of the Year and Pop Song of the Year .[ 4] "El Costo de la Vida " by Dominican artist Juan Luis Guerra , "Abriendo Puertas " by Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan , "Y Hubo Alguien " and "Ahora Quién" by American performer Marc Anthony , "Suavemente " by Puerto-Rican songwriter Elvis Crespo , "Cómo Olvidar" by Puerto-Rican artist Olga Tañón , "Por Un Segundo " by Aventura, and "A Puro Dolor", earned the award and also reached number-one at the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.[ 5] American performer Víctor Manuelle and Puerto-Rican American singers Jerry Rivera and Gilberto Santa Rosa are the most nominated performers without a win, with five unsuccessful nominations each.
