HERE'S SOME SCOOP ON LAST YEAR...LET'S CHECK THEM OUT THIS YEAR.
Calle 13 and Rueben Blades performed with Cirque De Soleil.
Puerto Rican duo Calle 13 were the big winners at the 10th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, celebrated Thursday evening at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Hosted by actress/singer Lucero and actor/comedian Eugenio Derbez, the ceremony was an extravaganza reminiscent of a Las Vegas-style show, including not only music and dance but also star presenters, grandiose production, special effects, and acrobats and gymnasts courtesy of "Le Rêve" and the Cirque de Soleil show "Mystère."

Calle 13’s René Pérez (aka Residente) and Eduardo Cabra (aka Visitante) swept their five Latin GRAMMY nominations, taking home Record and Album Of The Year, Best Urban Music Album, Best Alternative Song, and Best Short Form Music Video.

Other big winners included alternative rockers Café Tacvba, veteran rock group Jaguares and singer/songwriter Caetano Veloso, who won two statues each. Also picking up Latin GRAMMYs were Mexican singer Alexander Acha, son of pop star Emmanuel, who won the coveted Best New Artist award; singer/percussionist Luis Enrique, whose comeback was rewarded with two awards including Best Salsa Album; pop rocker Fito Paez; singer Laura Pausini; former Menudo member Draco Rosa; and up-and-coming Mexican trio Reik.

There were several highlights during the milestone 10th anniversary telecast including veteran Cuban singer Omara Portuondo, winner in the Best Contemporary Tropical Album category for Gracias, becoming the first Cuban artist living in Cuba to receive an award onstage. Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa, known as the Voice of Latin America not only for her artistry but her championing of social causes, passed away Oct. 4 before she was able to enjoy the fruits of her latest album, Cantora 1. The recording won two Latin GRAMMYs including Best Folk Album, and Sosa was remembered throughout the show, including a touching video segment introduced by Panamanian singer Rubén Blades.
