The day is finally here. The biggest music party has arrived as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States will recognize the outstanding achievement in the music industry. That's right! The Grammy's are tonight! Among the nominated, which were announced back in Dec. 6, Jay Z is leading with nine in total, including best rap album. Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake and Pharell Williams got seven nods each, while Drake and engineer Bob Ludwig followed with five.
Although the live broadcast doesn’t start until 8 p.m., some winners have already been announced at the pre-telecast that you can watch here. We’re so happy to see that some of our favorite Latino artists have already been crowned winners. Draco Rosa won “Best Latin Pop Album” with “Vida,” La Santa Cecilia won "Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album,” for “Treinta Días” and dedicated their award to the 11 million undocumented workers in the US.
Also a winner for the night, Mariachi Divas and their album “A Mi Manera,” who won "Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano)" and “Pacific Mambo Orchestra” by Pacific Mambo Orchestra beat Marc Anthony, Los Angeles Azules, Sergio George and Carlos Vives in the "Best Tropical Latin Album” category. Someone who’s not a stranger to winning is Paquito D’Rivera, who this year managed to take home yet another Grammy for “Best Latin Jazz Album” thanks to his song “Song For Maura.”
