“I have felt an ambivalence about the award because winning an award at the expense of others losing has never pleased me. I do not believe that here no one loses, it is not that I am better than anyone. So we accept this award on behalf of all those who are nominated because here in reality everyone wins, “he said from the stage.
The “Best Song of the Year” it was for “Homeland and Life” -Winner also of the statuette a “Best Urban Song”, written by Descemer Bueno, El Funky, Gente de Zona, Yadam González, Beatriz Luengo, Maykel Osorbo and Yotuel, who dedicated their live performance to “unjustly political prisoners of Cuba.”
At the premiere, where the Argentines prevailed and which took place before the formal start of the main gala, the urban singer Nathy Peluso took the statuette for “Best Alternative Music Album” for his album “Calambre”, while Vicentico won in “Best Rock Album” by “El Pozo Brillante” and in “Best Rock Song” for “Now 1”.
Calamaro, who took the stage accompanied by Jorge Drexler, shares the credits of his Grammy with the Spanish C-Tangana as composer and interpreter of “Hong Kong” along with Alizzz and Víctor Martínez.
“Happy and honored to share ‘Hong Kong’ with Jorge, who I admire and love a lot and with this definition of an artist of the XXI century that is the master C-Tangana,” said the Argentine, upon receiving the distinction on behalf of the Madrilenian who se was in full preparations to offer his show at the subsequent gala.
For its part, Tinto Tango, the project supported by three Argentines living in Los Angeles, triumphed for its “Tinto Tango plays Piazzolla” in “Best Tango Album” for a work dedicated to celebrating the centennial of the tango master.
Among the recognitions that Argentine artists received in this edition of the Latin Grammys, there is also that of Fito Páez, who received the Award for Musical Excellence from the Academy the day before.
Páez also participated in the ceremony as a presenter -together with María Becerra- of the shortlist to “Best Pop Album” in which Camilo finally prevailed and in which Calamaro competed for “God breeds them.”
Among the most anticipated performances by the Argentine public, was that of Nicki Nicole and Nathy Peluso, who gave ample evidence of the great moment their careers are going through by performing live “Pa ‘Mis Muchachas” with Christina Aguilera and Becky G, in a performance loaded with sensuality and feminine empowerment.
“I am very grateful and honored and it blows my mind the incredible talent with which I have shared. I spent a lot of time in Miami and shared with many creators, musicians and singers and I was able to fall in love with Latin music. It has been something beautiful and we are going to have a great time with the girls “, Aguilera had pointed out a while before about his colleagues and highlighting the” camaraderie “between the four of them.
Peluso also took the stage during the gala to accompany C-Tangana and his friends in clapping and choirs in a relentless version of “Ingobernable” where the Madrilenian recreated with a staging the table of friends from his official video along with other artists consecrated.

Bizarrap, the greatest exponent of the current national urban scene, finally could not be crowned in any of the four categories in which it was nominated: “It did not happen. I thought that of the four nominations a Grammy was going to be able to take to Argentina,” he later argued in social networks.
“I did not succeed this time, sorry. I want to thank you all for the unconditional support of always, that is my biggest award. I do not give up; maybe we will see you next year? I love you,” he completed.

For his part, the Puerto Rican rapper Residente offered through tears a heartfelt speech to the honoree Blades, who listened with emotion and tears in his eyes to the words of his colleague at the time of receiving his distinction as Personality of the Year.
With his hand trembling, he could barely hold the page he was trying to read and in which he declared all his admiration to the Panamanian who ended up assisting him so that he could finish his speech: “In those moments when everyone is hiding, there you were. You gave me what I needed: a guide and a direction. You are my mentor, my friend, my teacher, you are like a father to me, “said the former leader of Calle 13.
