MEXICAN pop-rock group Camila and Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra tied with three awards each at the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday night, drawing top stars from three continents.
Camila won recording of the year and song of the year for "Mientes" and for best group vocal album for "Dejarte de amar."
Band leader Mario Domm thanked his mother for "putting up with so much noise" while the band recorded the album.
Guerra, whose career stretches over more than two decades, won album of the year and best contemporary tropical album for "A son de guerra," and best tropical song "Bachata en Fukuoka," adding to his previous 12 Latin Grammys.
He told the audience that his album might sound romantic but it's also a call for morality. "The time has arrived for us to reclaim justice and integrity for the Latin American people," he said.
Some of the Latin world's top names gathered for the 11th annual awards show, which kicked off with a rush of photographers for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, the groove of Chris Botti's jazz trumpet and a wave of cheers for Enrique Iglesias.
The hosts, Mexican comedian Eugenio Derbez and actress Lucero, worked their way through a list of 47 categories in diverse genres with devout followings across the continents, from Sertaneja in Brazil to Tejano in the American Southwest, with some awards presented during the pre-show.
The gala featured some odd pairings: Guerra rapping while synchronized swimmers kicked their legs upside down in pool. Iglesias performing with reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel. Canadian-Portuguese folk-rocker Nelly Furtado and pioneering female hip-hop MC Mala Rodriguez getting their groove on with the b-boy crew Jabbawockeez.
Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz won the first major award of the evening - best male pop vocal album - for "Paraiso Express," bringing his career total to 17 Latin Grammys.
Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho burst out of their seats when their win for best urban album was announced.
Ricky Martin sang his first single after two years, "Lo mejor de mi vida eres tu," with Natalia Jimenez, of the Spanish pop band La Quinta Estacion.
Martin also presented the Person of the Year award to Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo. "Sadly many artists who I shared the stage with are no longer with us. That's why it gives me such happiness to keep on singing and living days like this," the 69-year-old tenor said.
