As we’re getting closer to the 10th annual Latin Grammy Awards, the names of the selected few set to perform during the special music ceremony is being announced to the media. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprise to hear one of the first duos scheduled to hit the stage.
The Latin Recording Academy announced that Puerto Rican urban duo Calle 13 and legendary Panamanian salsa singer Ruben Blades will be uniting to sing for the Latin Grammys, which takes place at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center on Thursday, November 5th. The event will be broadcast live on the Univision Network from 8-11PM EST. Other artists scheduled to perform are David Bisbal, Shalia Durcal, Luz Rios, and Alejandro Sanz.
Calle 13 are leading year’s leading nominees, thanks to their nods for Album Of The Year, Best Urban Music Album for Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo, Record Of The Year, and Best Alternative Song for "No Hay Nadie Como Tú" (with Café Tacvba), along with Best Short Form Music Video for "La Perla" (with Rubén Blades). Singer/songwriter Luz Ríos has two nods for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Album (Aire). David Bisbal, Rubén Blades, and Shaila Dúrcal each have one nomination: Bisbal for Record Of The Year ("Aquí Estoy Yo" with Luis Fonsi, Aleks Syntek, and Noel Schajris); Blades for Best Short Form Music Video ("La Perla" with Calle 13); and Dúrcal for Best Ranchero Album (Corazón Ranchero).
We’re certain that not only will Calle 13 win at least one Latin Grammy, but they’ll also be one of the best performers of the night!
