The Cuban singer Randy Malcom, a member of Gente de Zona, and his wife, Annaby Pozo, exuded elegance and camaraderie at the Person of the Year Gala 2026 of the Latin Recording Academy, held on Wednesday, November 11, in Las Vegas, where major music stars gathered to pay tribute to Daddy Yankee.
The couple did not go unnoticed during the evening and showcased their finest attire on a night that was very special for Latin music. Annaby shared several photos on her Instagram account, in which they both appear posing elegantly and smiling.
For the occasion, Annaby opted for a sophisticated black lace dress with long sleeves and an open back, while Randy chose a beige suit paired with a pearl necklace and sunglasses, adding his signature touch of style.
Along with the images, the wife of the Cuban artist dedicated some heartfelt words to the honoree: "It was a true pleasure for us to be present at this emotional tribute and to be part of such a special night, celebrating his legacy and his invaluable contribution to Latin music."
But Randy didn't come just to enjoy the celebration. The singer also had his moment on stage alongside his partner Alexander Delgado, with whom he starred in one of the evening's performances representing Gente de Zona.
The popular Cuban duo paid tribute to the so-called "Big Boss" with a rendition of "Sabor a Melao," a song by Daddy Yankee featuring Andy Montañez, to which they added a very special reference: "With the homage to Yankee, the party started in Puerto Rico."
The participation of Gente de Zona was part of a celebration that brought together renowned figures of Latin music, including J Balvin, LL Cool J, Feid, Farruko, Natalia Jiménez, Pablo Alborán, Óscar D'León, and Nathy Peluso.
During the gala, Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, received the Person of the Year 2026 award from J Balvin and LL Cool J, becoming the first artist in the urban genre to receive this distinction.
The tribute took place in the prelude to the 27th edition of the Latin Grammy, whose main ceremony occurred on Thursday, November 12, in Las Vegas. During that gala, Janet Jackson also had a special moment by paying tribute to the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist.
It's not the first time that Gente de Zona has participated in a tribute of this magnitude. In 2024, Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom shared the stage with David Bisbal to pay tribute to Carlos Vives during the Person of the Year Gala at the Latin Grammys.
The Cuban presence was also felt at other moments during the music week in Las Vegas. The singer-songwriter Pancho Céspedes received the Music Excellence Award, while Camila Cabello was among the presenters of the main ceremony.
