Ángela Aguilar and Yuridia were the first winners of the night, taking home mariachi/ranchera song of the year for their duet “Qué Agonía.” It was not only Yuridia’s first time winning at Premio Lo Nuestro, but her first time ever at that awards show. During their heartfelt speech, Aguilar had a special message to little girls watching: “Ple
