May the strength of Colombian music is here to stay again strengthened both the Latin Grammy ceremony in the full list of winners. 48 trophies, Colombia was 8. And while Mexicans 11 statuettes were taken, it should be noted that five of those are categories dedicated to Mexican regional music in which it would be a miracle to win someone of another nationality.
So, Mexicans were 11 trophies, seven for Brazil (which also has 6 categories to music from your country) four for artists Dominican Republic, three for Spanish and Puerto Ricans four for Argentines and one for the Panamanian Ruben Blades, while Cubans, Latin Americans who make music and Venezuelans took two trophies respectively. And one more statuette was given because there was a tie in one of the categories of classical music.
In many statuettes, Colombia had one of his best balances. Although it did not consider any of the awards are considered the most important (record of the year, song of the year, album of the year). However, I had one of the most visible and coveted, the best new artist for Monsieur Perine that is also among the general award (in competing artists of all genres) and therefore won about 10 nominees and not the usual five specialized categories in a musical current.
In addition to the award for best new artist, the award for best urban song was also to a compatriot. J Balvin These were the only two awards that were televised and the remaining six were distributed in the premiere (a simpler ceremony is hours before transmission, which are delivered many awards, so make room for the big shows of the television show).
J Balvin opened the show whose only rule is to present nominees. Repeated presentation of musical gala ceremony, only this time he could also speak of “a new era of reggaeton,” when he received the statuette. He and other representatives of urban music had a greater role than gender had at other times in the history of Grammy. Almost all urban categories were presented at the main show and not on the run, while prizes for other music that once were central as salsa album and song or best rock album, became the “trasescena”.
Although the other Colombians received their trophies off camera, the music of our presence felt throughout the entire program. In fact, the imposing appearance of Li Saumet the duo Bomba Estereo and Will Smith generated applause and especially dancing in the room. No gain for this group of electrocumbia was not any problem, his prize was the opportunity to draw attention to the millions of viewers on an unforgettable Grammy presentation. Something similar could be said of Silvestre Dangond, responsible for closing the award, vallenato could be shown to the end, although the statuette was nominated it did not take.
Of other awards
Perhaps the most unexpected of awards received by Colombian was to Diamond Electric, in the category of Best Rock Album, with your CD ‘B’ . Ever since the nomination is analyzed his presence in the competition was a nod to the artists who have done independent career and showed that without a major label behind you can also get a great recognition.
In the category Cumbia / Vallenato used to believe it was a Colombian category (although demonstrated that fits all do cumbia and vallenato is the country that is). But the presence of the Chilean Américo, very strong in the Southern Cone, tested this time national artists. The prize at the end was for Jorge Celedón, who got the third Latin Grammy of his career, with the album ‘Simply’.
However, it is a disturbing category since this year was seen certain “inertia” on the part of artists and record labels, when registering their work on these awards and interested in being voters, which could open the door for the nomination of Américo (a nomination that could prove to the other exponents of cumbias of the continent that have an award winning).
ChocQuibTown also had the chance to shine on stage and also to take a new award, the best tropical fusion album, for ‘the same’. are stars, evolution could be seen on stage with a show impeccable.
Alex Campos, more than consecrated as demonstrated with the award in the category of best album of Christian music in Spanish, it is and will be the competitor to beat in upcoming opportunities. Three awards in this field talk about consolidation in the genre.
On the other hand, Marta Gomez who won last year for best album of music children, had one more award for packaging design of its new production ‘At this moment’. It may not be an award for music, but remember that a musical work is comprised of many elements from artistic disciplines that together provide an excellent product. Therefore, each of these has an important merit trophies to celebrate local talent.
