‘Despacito’ Wins Big At Latin Grammys [FULL WINNERS LIST]

Luis Fonsi and his hit “Despacito” were the big winners at Thursday’s Latin Grammy Awards, with the song winning all of its nominations.

“DESPACITO” TAKES LATIN GRAMMYS

The song took home four awards, including Song of the Year. Singer-songwriter Fonsi dedicated all of his wins to his native Puerto Rico, as did various other artists throughout the night. In fact, the evening opened with a moment of silence for the storm-ravaged island.

“I’m here because of Puerto Rico, and this song is a hymn to Puerto Rico,” Fonsi revealed after the show. “Everything I do, and everything I will do, now more than ever, is to continue celebrating my island, my culture, my homeland and my music, and to make sure the public knows that Puerto Rico needs help.”

Also at the ceremony, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is of Puerto Rican descent, took home the President’s Merit Award, which he also dedicated to the island. He gave his acceptance speech in both English and Spanish, and described himself as “the weird theater kid here with the half-gringo accent.” He also took the time to remind the government that the people of Puerto Rico are part of the United States and “are human beings too.”

Other winners of the night were Ruben Blades for Album of the Year, rapper Residente, who topped the evening with nine nominations and two wins, and Alejandro Sanz, who won the Latin Recording Academy’s Person of the Year award.

Most of the winners were awarded their statuettes during a pre-telecast ceremony, while the live show mostly consisted of performances from the likes of Natalia Lafourcade, Maluma, Juanes, J Balvin, Lika Downs, CNCO, Mon Laferte, Nicky Jam and Carlos Vives.
