MTV Latin America Awards

This year’s MTV Video Music Awards Latin America treated Juanes pretty well, as the Colombian rocker went home with awards for best solo artist, artist of the year, best rock artist and best central region artist.

Video of the year went to newcomer Mexican pop band Belanova.

Mexico’s Café Tacuba took home the prize for best alternative artist and Chile’s Kudai won best pop artist and best group or duet.

The show took place at the Auditorio Telmex in Guadalajara, Mexico, Oct. 16, the third consecutive time in Mexico and the first in the city famous for mariachi music, tequila and folk dances.

Juanes showed off his new single with a performance of “Odio Por Amor.” The 9,000 fans at the award show were treated to additional performances by Belanova, Metallica, Flavor Flav, Julieta Venegas, Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry.

Argentina’s Los Fabulosos Cadillacs performed via satellite from Buenos Aires and was honored with a lifetime achievement award.

The show was broadcast on MTV Latin America and MTV TR3S, MTV’s bilingual channel in the U.S., to 21 million homes in Latin America and more than 80 million stateside. This year marked MTV Latin America’s 15th on the air.

Winners for the seventh annual awards show were chosen by fans who cast 12.5 million votes on MTV’s Web site.
