Enrique Iglesias picked up his first Latin Grammy in more than a decade last Thursday, winning three trophies including song of the year for his platinum hit Bailando, while Calle 13 set a record for most Latin Grammy wins with 21.
Iglesias accepted his awards from Paris, where he was on tour. Bailando also won best urban song and performance, beating out Latin Grammy favourites Calle 13. Iglesias won his first Latin Grammy — and only one before Thursday — in 2003 for best male pop vocal album for Quizás.
Calle 13 walked into the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas as the top competitors. Eduardo Cabra of the duo was nominated for 10 awards, including producer of the year, while the group was up for nine, including album, song and record of the year — all of which they lost.

Instead, Paco de Lucia — the celebrated Mexican guitarist who died earlier this year — won album of the year for his final effort, Canción Andaluza. The album also won best flamenco album, an award de Lucia won twice throughout his career.
Juanes, who was originally tied with Calle 13 with 19 Latin Grammys before Thursday, won best pop/rock album for Loco De Amor, giving him a career total of 20.
Calle 13 kicked off the Latin Grammys by giving a strong performance that looked like it was inside an Irish bar and wins for best alternative song for El Aguante and urban music album for Multiviral, their fifth album but first to be released on their own label.
“We are happy. We have 21 (Latin) Grammys and it is a dream. We never thought we would have this in our lives,” Calle 13 vocalist Rene Perez told reporters backstage.
A taped performance of Bailando from Iglesias closed the three-hour show. Bailando, which features Gente de Zona and Descemer Bueno, has sold 1.2 million tracks in the United States and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is the longest-running No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs.
