## Background

In 1989, the Lo Nuestro Awards were established by Univision, to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music. The nominees and winners were selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte. The award included a trophy shaped like a treble clef. The categories were for the Pop, Tropical/Salsa, and Regional Mexican genres. The 2nd Lo Nuestro Awards ceremony was held on May 24, 1991, in a live presentation held at the Knight Center in Miami, Florida. The ceremony was broadcast in the United States and Latin America by Univision.

## Winners and nominees

Winners were announced before the live audience during the ceremony. Mexican singer Vicente Fernández and group Los Yonics, and Puerto-Rican band El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico were the most nominated acts with four nominations each. Fernández won two awards for Regional/Mexican Artist and Song of the Year for his top ten single "Por Tu Maldito Amor". Mexican singer-songwriter Ana Gabriel was awarded for Female Pop Artist and Pop Album of the Year with Tierra de Nadie.
