Two of the night's most emotionally charged moments occurred whensinging legend Ana Gabriel was presented the "Premio a la Excelencia"and when "El Buki" Marco Antonio Solis was honored with a specialaward in recognition of his 30-year career, each receiving a standingovation from an admiring sold-out arena audience.
