The 2017 Latin Grammy Awards were held on Thursday night in Las Vegas, and as expected, the show was spectacular. The ceremony was hosted by Mexican actor Jaime Camil and Puerto Rican singer, actress, and model Roselyn Sánchez. Among the performers were Residente, Steve Aoki, French Montana, Maluma, Luis Fonsi and Alejandro Sanz. The latter one was among the biggest stars of the evening, being awarded the Person of the Year Award.
Puerto Rican rapper Residente was ahead of the pack, with 9 nominations, ultimately taking home two awards – for Best Urban Music Album and Best Urban Song. Colombian singer Maluma had seven nominations but failed to take any awards. Shakira on the other hand, had six nominations, winning one for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album with El Dorado.
The biggest winner of the night, however, was singer Luis Fonsi, who won all of his 4 nominations. With his smash hit Despacito, Fonzi won Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Urban Fusion/Performance and Best Short Form Music Video awards.
