There's nothing like seeing Mr. 305 while you're actually in the 305.
Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, closed out iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina 2016 on Saturday at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.
If there is one thing that's obvious about Pitbull, it's that he's an amazing performer -- and he gives you everything. Not just tonight, like his song says, but all the time.
During his 2016 Fiesta Latina performance, Pitbull performed a list of his hits including "Don't Stop The Party," "Green Light," "Rain Over Me, "Ay Mi Dios" (for which he brought out Yandel), "Manos Parriba," "Fireball," and "Give Me Everything.”
Earlier in the night, Pitbull was presented with the inaugural iHeartRadio Premio Corazon Latino Award, recognizing his efforts for being a promoter, supporter, and spokesman for charter school SLAM (Sports Leadership and Management), over the last few years.
The award honours an individual who enhances the lives, culture, heritage and future of the Latin community in the U.S.

The school is a middle and high school focused on sports industry education, with subjects like sports medicine, management, and broadcasting. Even classes like math and English use sports as inspiration for lesson plans and themes.
Before he was presented with the award by Enrique Santos (anchor of iHeartMedia’s new Spanish-language station TÚ 94.9) and students from SLAM, a touching video highlighting the performer’s efforts played for the audience.
During his emotional acceptance speech, Pitbull spoke about how much it means to him to be able to provide an opportunity for kids "just like him," and even thanked a former teacher who was an inspiration to him.
"To be with kids that are just like me, that came from nothing,” he said, “and understand what it is to make something out of it is a true honour.”
