Miami, FL (January 8, 2019) – MAU Y RICKY are once again recognized for their talent. The duo was just announced amongst the nominees for the annual awards Premio Lo Nuestro with three nominations. In the category Pop/Rock – Group or Duo of the Year, Mau y Ricky stand out as one of the most influential duos of 2018. In the category Remix of the Year, the brothers are nominated with their hit “Mi Mala” remix, alongside Karol G, Becky G, and Lali Esposito. In the category Video of the Year, the duo is nominated with the video “Ya No Tiene Novio” alongside Sebastián Yatra.
Minutes before the announcement was made live on Univision network’s morning show Despierta América, cameras arrived at Mau y Ricky’s recording studio in Miami, where they were able to capture the duo’s initial reaction to the news.
Filled with excitement Mau y Ricky commented:
“A nomination in Premio Lo Nuestro is so surreal. Last year we were tributing our father in these awards, and to receive today 3 nominations of our own is a dream come true.”
Later, in an exclusive interview with Forbes magazine, Mau y Ricky added that:
“It’s a dream come true to finally live everything we’ve been envisioning for so many years. Getting nominated for a Premio Lo Nuestro was definitely one of those dreams. We are so excited.”
2019 will definitely be witness to the uncontainable success of the singer/songwriter Montaner brothers, not only with these nominations, but also with their tour through Mexico and their concerts in the United States. Additionally, they continue to dominate streaming platforms and radio airwaves with their international hit single “Desconocidos”, which stands at #1 this week as the most listened-to song in Mexico and has been at the #1 spot in Colombia for several weeks. The song also features the Turizo brothers and Camilo Echeverry.
Premio Lo Nuestro will take place on February 21 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.
