“Wow! I can’t believe it. Thank you so much to the academy for all of your hard work over the past 15 years. It’s been 15 years since I had the most nominations, Celia Cruz told me, “Te la comiste Carlos!” and Julio Iglesias told me “En hora buena” and that night, I did not win any. So 15 years later, in a very special way, I share it with my family. This is for Colombia; the movement of Colombian Music, and I want to dedicate this especially to President Obama,” Carlos expressed after winning the award for Best Contemporary Tropical Album for “Más + Corazón Profundo.”
Vives lit up the stage with his performance of “El mar de sus ojos” with ChocQuibTown. The riveting performance instantly got the crowd to its feet. He then performed “Cuando nos volvamos a encontrar” alongside Marc Anthony. The performance featured the choreography from the immensely talented Ballet de Salsa de Cali. These Latin GRAMMYs join the many other achievements that this beloved singer, producer, songwriter and actor has received over his tremendous career.
