Despite the fact that every year I ask to take pics and video of the arrivals on the green carpet, I have been denied twice.

One for their heartwarming (if you like that sort of thing) video navideno, Ven a Mi Casa esta Navidad and the other for Best Children’s Album, Como se Llega a Belen. Vos Veis is the first Venezuelan group to win a Latin Grammy, ever! So big ups to Venezuela. Backstage the band said that they were working on a more poppy/rock record.
