Although he had been nominated 7 times, one for each year the Latin Grammy Awards have been happening, this is his first win! Gilberto spoke to the press not just of his own 30 year career and win but about fellow Boricua, Ricky Martin who was named Person of the Year. Gilberto also added that salsa as a genre was so big that it could nd maybe should have have its own awards show. When asked about reggaeton as a genre, Gilberto said he respects reggaetón as an authentic Latino genre on par with salsa.

So unfortunately , La Mala was live at the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards but you all couldn’t be because of the ahem, less than helpful tech team at MSG couldn’t hook me up online.

During the pre-telecast awards, el Rock Latino ruled.
Gustavo Cerati, won two awards, Best Rock Solo Vocal Album and Best Rock Song for Crimen. For those like me, who have been following Cerati from his Soda Stereo days, will be disappointed to hear that Soda Stereo has no plans in the near future to reunite but that it’s never out of the question.

Best%20tropical.jpg Tropical music is such a huge genre, including salsa and merengue, that all its facets couldn’t fit in the telecast alone so some awards were given in the pre-telecast. Included was best Traditional Tropical Album which went to Andy Montanez. He dedicated the award to his wife and Puerto Rico, saying that his win was a dream come true.

Ay Ricky. How I remember him when he was just an adolescent dancing in unison with other boys, waiting for his facial hair to grow in. Now look at him. Tonight Ricky Martin is being honored as The 2006 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. Calle 13, Miguel Bosé, Don Omar,Juan Luis Guerra, Ludacris, Ednita Nazario, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira all are at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers to pay tribute and recognize Ricky’s accomplishments as a world-renowned entertainer, consummate performer and passionate humanitarian (not to mention hottie). Ricky will even perform.

Newapartment%20024.jpg The area around Madison Square Garden was abuzz more than usual yesterday morning. Walking down 33rd Street at around 9 am, it became obvious that the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards had finally hit New York City. Stage crews with huge trailers were setting up. Security was tight and eyed everyone walking down the street making sure no one tried to sneak inside the event, after all this is the first time the awards honoring Latino telent is being held in the Big Apple. And since the Big Apple is home to yours truely, I have to be there and I don’t have to sneak in. Yesterday, la Mala officially picked up her press credentials (I’ll spare you the horrible picture on it ….for now) allowing me, and by default, you readers, access to one of the hottest Spanish language accented events.
