During a whirlwind night in which the rain dampened the red carpet, but not the show’s spirits -- the 2013 Latin Grammys took over Las Vegas on Thursday.
A night marked by some energetic performances and several stripped down duets that brought together old friends on stage sporadically gave way to presenting awards to Latin music’s biggest names. Carlos Vives took home the most golden gramophones with three wins, including Song of the Year for his hit “Volví a Nacer.”
“It’s more than I expected for this comeback,” the Colombian singer said while receiving the award. “I want to dedicated this to all of the kids in world in Latin America because they made this song even bigger, and I want to dedicate this to my country, Colombia.”
Fan favorites like Draco Rosa, Marc Anthony and Juan Luis Guerra also left with statuettes and the coveted Best New Artist awards went to Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno. And the winners are…
