Yandel, who was being interviewed backstage by host Rodner Figueroa for the show “Sal y Pimienta,” was taken aback but very happy when he was presented with the award, after his appearance on “Nuestra Belleza Latina.”
His sizzling performance was a medley of “Hablé de Ti” and “Hasta Abajo,” from his second solo album “De Líder a Leyenda,” which has practically made him a household name all over the world.
