The group prior to this event so far has won nineteen Latin Grammy Awards and they hold the record for most Latin Grammy wins. They have also won 2 Grammy Awards. You could say they are the Shakira of Latin Hip Hop. Here’s a video giving you a taste of what they do if you are not in latin circles featuring the song “Baile De Los Pobres” which came away with the best Urban Song Gong. Video
Other notable winners were Shakira with Best Female Vocal Pop album for her “Sale El Sol” album and Franco DeVita won the Best Male Vocal Pop Album. Best new act went to Sie7e. Anything else of note was pretty much sown up by Calle 13 as illustrated in the winners list!
