Arena putting on a flashy show that celebrated all the glitz of Latin pop For three years the awards which recognize top artists based on sales and radio play had been held at the Jackie Gleason Theater for a music-industry audience This year featured vastly improved production a stellar lineup and an enthusiastic ticket-buying public that filled half the Arena Yes it was all about shine not substance but the shine was brilliant enough Because the awards honor sales and radio airplay surprises are few Pop veteran Chayanne and regional Mexican-pop singer Pilar Montenegro led the day with three awards each Chayanne one for a greatest hits collection and two for his hit si tu te vas (And If You Go) and Montenegro all for her enormously successful single Quitame ese hombre (Get Rid of

Alexandra for Trop Former collapses onstage icalSalsa Album of the Year and TropicalSalsa Airplay Track Duo or Group Salsa veterans Gilberto Santa Rosa and La India won for Best TropicalSalsa albums in the male and female categories Reggaeton the reggae-rap style immensely popular in Puerto Rico also showed its clout with a win by duo Hector Tito for Best Rap Album Although artists performed to taped tracks the production kept it entertaining AB Quintanilla and the Kumbia Kings started things off with a literal bang fire pumping rhythmically from the stage for their rap-cumbia hit version of

of the top artists of the past year shimmied down the aisle to accept her first award then teared up as she thanked the fans Santa flamboyant dancing brought the audience to its feet and newcomer
