Shakira, the Colombian pop songstress, won six awards and reggaeton pacesetter Daddy Yankee took home three prizes at Thursday night's awards.

Reggaeton - a mix of tropical rhythms, reggae, hip-hop and rap - also was the theme of the show's final performance, which featured Tito ''El Bambino,'' Angel y Khriz and Wisin & Yandel rapping among gyrating dancers and flashy pyrotechnics.

Shakira, wearing a sparkling blue bikini top and red-and-white skirt, unleashed her trademark hip-wiggle as she danced and sang alongside Wyclef Jean on their pulsing collaboration ''Hips Don't Lie.'' Her performance kept with the theme of the awards over the years: mix Latin acts with performances with crossover appeal.

Shakira took home the female Latin pop album of the year for ''Fijacion Oral Vol. 1'' (Oral Fixation Vol. 1), which was released in both Spanish and English. The album's top song, a sexy duet with Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz called ''La Tortura'' (The Torture), won four other awards, including hot Latin song.

Sanz's collaboration with Shakira netted him four awards. Colombian rocker Juanes - a big winner the past few years - won three. Dominican bachata singer Andy Andy and Mexican pop group RBD also won three times.

''I'm sincere when I say I had lost my faith in awards,'' said the long-haired Andy Andy. ''Tonight, you have returned it to me, you have returned hope to me, and you tell me that hard work really has its merit.''

RBD, which reached young listeners with its album ''Rebelde'' (Rebel), won best Latin pop album for a duo or group, and the same award for new artists. It also won the viewers' choice award.

Daddy Yankee, the Puerto Rican star whose song ''Gasolina'' is among reggae- ton's most well-known tunes, won for top Latin album artist and top reggaeton album.
