Univision taps talent for awards show

Latin Music event will feature RBD, Pausini

Reggaeton artists Wisin y Yandle, Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes and norteno group Intocable are among performers scheduled to perform live during the 18th annual "Premio Lo Nuestro a la Musica Latina" (Lo Nuestro Latin Music Awards) on Spanish-language network Univision.

The popular three-hour kudocast airs live from Miami's American Airlines Arena at 8 p.m. Feb. 23.

Also on the list of performers are Laura Pausini, RBD, Luis Fonsi, Ana Barbara and Beto y Sus Canarios, among others.

Awards are given in five genres -- pop, tropical, regional Mexican, rock and urban -- plus video of the year. Nominees are selected from charts compiled by Radio & Records magazine and winners are voted on by fans.

Last year's "Premio" drew record auds with what was regarded as an updated, enlivened show.
