After an absence from the music scene, Carlos Vives took home an amazing total of three Latin GRAMMY® awards: Best Tropical Fusion Album (“Corazón Profundo”), Best Song of the Year and Best Tropical Song of the Year (“Volví a nacer”). The eclectic Argentine group Illya Kuryaki & Los Valderramas, whose style includes rock, hip-hop, funk and soul, also walked away with a gramophone: Best Urban Song (“Ula Ula”).

One of the many peak moments at the biggest night in Latin Music was the spectacular performances of Draco Rosa and Ricky Martin, two of the most iconic performers in the world, who teamed up to sing “Más y Más.” Ricky also displayed his charisma in the star-studded extravaganza honoring Spanish singer songwriter and respected philanthropist Miguel Bose, who was honored as “Person of the Year.” Tropical music superstar Marc Anthony’s return to salsa was greeted with enthusiasm by the public. “Vivir mi vida” once more showcased his great talent and stage presence.
