It was already known that this year's Latin Grammy Awards would pay tribute to Rubén Blades, the living legend and greatest poet of salsa. But what was unexpected was the emotional moment Residente had when he spoke about Blades. Rene's words as he presented him with the award moved Rubén and the entire audience to tears. The artist received the honor on behalf of all Panama and its artists.

Whether we like it or not, C. Tangana gave one of the most exciting presentations of last night. To the rhythm of flamenco, and alongside luxury artists such as Jorge Drexler, Natalia Lafourcade, Nathy Peluso and Antonio Carmona, “El madrileño” performed his song “Ingobernable” for the gala and went home with three awards out of the five he was nominated for.
Anitta fulfilled her promise to give a flawless performance with Carlinhos Brown and Gloria Estefan in which they brought the Carnival of Brazil to the Grammys. She also made a heartfelt tribute to her friend and musical colleague, Marília Mendonça, a Brazilian singer-songwriter who lost her life just two weeks ago. With her heart in her hand, the artist took a moment during the ceremony to honor Marília and remember her musical legacy.
