Two years after taking home the award, Latin urban star Lenny Tavárez was named pop/Latin rhythm songwriter of the year once more, this time for hits including “Piscina,” “Tu Feo,” and “La Ranger.”

Meanwhile, the pop/Latin rhythm song of the year award went to “Bellakeo,” a reggaetón banger written by Ángel Sandoval and recorded by Peso Pluma and Anitta. Released in December 2023, the track peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart a week later.

Alex Hernández received the regional Mexican songwriter of the year, honored for songs including Xavi’s “La Diabla,” which also took the regional Mexican song of the year award. The song gave the young Mexican singer his first No. 1 on the Billboard charts in January 2024, when it reached the summit of Hot Latin Songs.

Sony Music Publishing was named publisher of the year.

“For more than three decades, we’ve come together to celebrate the dedication and creativity that go into the music that inspires us,” Celeste Zendejas, svp, SESAC Latina, said. “I couldn’t be prouder of our incredible songwriters and publishers for making this another outstanding year in music.”

Guests at Wednesday’s ceremony were treated to performances by Lenny Tavárez and Banda Carnaval, which brought a taste of the Carnaval de Mazatlán to the event.
