This year's "Premios Tu Mundo" 2017 was full of positive messages and emotional moments conveyed in speeches and songs. Host Daniel Sarcos, a Venezuelen himself, choked as he tried to introduce the next performance that was dedicated to Venezuela. Surrounded by powerful imagery, singer Nacho, Luis Enrique, and Olga Tañon performed “Valiente,” as a show of solidarity with the current plight of the Venezuelan people.
