To bring some Latino flavor to the 55th Grammy Awards celebration, Colombian star Juanes conquered both the Latin and Anglo worlds with a bilingual performance of Elton John's romantic hit "Your Song."

The singer also took home the award for "Best Latin Pop Album, Rock or Urban Album" for his "MTV Unplugged Deluxe Edition" album earlier in the day.

The artist took to Twitter to thank his fans and dedicate the award to his home country of Colombia.

"Colombia this is for you, and for all my fans from all around the world. I love you too much!," said Juanes.

Juanes wasn't the only Latino artist honored Sunday night. Lila Downs won "Best Regional Mexican Album" for "Pecados Y Milagros," Quetzal for "Best Latin Rock Album, Alternative Urban" for "Imaginaries," and Marlow Rosado y La Riqueña for "Best Tropical Latin Album."
