Seven Latinos received Grammy awards last night for their unique voices in the music industry.

 

Latino alternative band La Santa Cecilia won the Latin Rock Album Grammy last night for their album "Treinta Días." Marisol Hernández, the lead singer, dedicated the Grammy win to the 11 million undocumented workers in the United States.

"We are very proud of being children of immigrants or immigrants in this country and I believe that winning a Grammy positively reflects the beauty of immigration and what people are capable of," said Hernández. "We dedicate this to the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants that live in this country, that are our parents, brothers, sisters and friends. This is for them, so they feel inspired and continue to work hard."

La Santa Cecilia was recognized previously for their music before by Advertising Age when they were named one of the "Rising Hispanic Artists to Watch."


 

Among other Latino Grammy winners, Bruno Mars won "Best Pop Vocal Album" for "Unorthodox Jukebox;" Draco Rosa won "Best Latin Pop Album" with "Vida;" Mariachi Divas won "Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano)" for "A Mi Manera;" Pacific Mambo Orchestra won "Best Tropical Latin Album" for "Pacific Mambo Orchestra" and Paquito D'Rivera won "Best Latin Jazz Album."

For lifetime achievement awards, Mexican singer-composer, Armando Manzanero, was among the seven artists recognized.
