Las Vegas] Chuey
Martinez flirts with
Carla Morrison on the
Green Carpet for the
13th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. She brought home not one, but TWO awards during the event at the
Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.
The big names were all out in force but the
XIII Annual
Latin GRAMMY Awards Thursday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas was a celebration of the lesser known and the newcomers such as the pop rock duo
Jesse & Joy, singer and songwriter Carla Morrison, and 3BallMTY (read
Tribal Monterrey), a DJ-anchored group that created its own style they call tribal guarachoso.
Still the big winner last night was
Latin music which had a glittery showcase for so much of its diversity and vitality.
Colombian singer and songwriter won
Album of the Year and
Best Long Form Music Video for
MTV Unplugged, a work produced by Dominican singer, songwriter and producer
Juan Luis Guerra. With it he has won 19
Latin GRAMMYs, now matching the success of
Calle 13.
Guerra, a 12-time Latin
GRAMMY winner, entered the night with six nominations and won two.
But still, it was the duo Jesse & Joy, which won
Record of the Year,
Song of the Year,
Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album and
Best Short Form Music Video.
The Mexican singer and songwriter Carla Morrison, who won for
Best Alternative Music Album and Best
Alternative Song, and 3BallMTY, which won as the
Best New Artist, suggest a coming wave in
Latin Music.
Moreover, the show left the audience with some striking images and powerful moments.
Consider the marvelous imagery and sound of the collaboration of
Lila Downs,
Toto La Momposina and
Celso Piña. Their performance offered a stunning tableaux that spoke to the richness and vitality of the traditions in
Latin culture. This was no museum piece.
But there were also moments such as the duet of
Prince Royce and
Joan Sebastian, blending the sound of bachata and mariachi on their "
Incondicional;" or
Victor Manuelle's "
Si Tu Me Besas," which featured the
Ballet Nacional de la
Salsa de
Colombia, strings but also barriles de bomba from
Puerto Rico. Or the performance by
2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year Brazilian singer and songwriter
Caetano Veloso and trumpeter
Arturo Sandoval, who last night added to his count with Latin GRAMMYs for albums of jazz and tango. Their collaboration on a medley of
Rafael Hernandez's "Capullito de Aleli," and Veloso's "
Odara," was itself a celebration of "
Fina Estampa," Veloso's embrace of the
Great Latin American Songbook.
And of course, there was also representation of classic pop and merengue, norteño and hip hop and more.
There were forty-seven Latin GRAMMYs awarded Thursday.
The great winner was Latin music.
