I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards last night. I must be getting old because I don’t know who half the people nominated were. Pero even before M.I.A shook her pregnant pansa up on the stage (mas on that later), Latinos got their awards in the untelevised portion of the show, porque really who cares about Latin music anyway? In fact, most Latin musicians didn’t even go to get their awards, not even Juanes, who is pictured getting an award last year. This yeah Gustavo Santaolalla accepted the award for Mejor Latin Pop Album. Juanes was kind enough to send a message though saying he dedicated the honor to those held hostage in the Colombian jungle.

Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album went to Jaguares, whom I’ve never liked. I wanted Locos Por Juana to win.

Best Latin Urban Album went to Wisin and Yandell.

José Feliciano got top honors in Best Tropical Latin Album.

Nati Cano and Mariachi Divas shared Best Regional Mexican Album.

Los Tigres del Norte captured Best Norteño Album.

In the Heights won Best Musical Show Album.

Well Latinos always have the Latin Grammy Awards shown on Univision to look forward to, or not.
