Ricky Martin a big winner at iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina
It was a special evening for the Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin during the fourth iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina: Celebrating Our Heroes held this past Saturday, Nov. 4 in Miami, Florida. Martin who kicked off the four hour long Latin fiesta was honored with theiHeartRadio Premio Corazón Latino Award - the special award honors an individual that exemplifies their big heart through their selfless work in enhancing the lives, heritage and future of the Latin community.
Ricky Martin received the award for his support following Hurricane Maria and his constant work throughout the years with human trafficking and The Ricky Martin Foundation. But just before the heart shaped award was presented to Martin by Enrique Santos, he gave an phenomenal performance featuring a spectacular mix of his most recent hits - "Mordidita," "Gracias Por Pensar En Mi," and "Vente Pa Ca."
After Martin graciously accepted the award, he stated "I've been working for a long time fighting human trafficking, but obviously, I am focused on what I need to be focused on today, which is Puerto Rico, which is my people, which is ... we were hit, and we were hit really, really bad. And ladies and gentlemen, I have to thank you, because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to do what I did. And everyone here and around the world has given me $5 here, $10 there, and with the money you've given me, I've been able to bring food to Puerto Rico, water, medicine, and anything that is needed nowadays.This is a long commitment. This is only the beginning." Congrats Ricky Martin and thank you for your humanitarian heart!
