The First Full Spanish-Language /Original Latin Music Song Performance On The GRAMMY Telecast In Ten Years Is Generating Wide Press & Social Media Excitement. In Advance of Tonight’s Performance, Juanes Spoke with Ryan Seacrest, The Los Angeles Times, Univision Anchor Jorge Ramos & The AP
Los Angeles Times: “Colombian rock star Juanes got a chance to sound-check his song “Juntos,” which will be the first Spanish-language performance on the Grammy telecast in a decade. The Grammy telecast’s performance spots are highly coveted among pop musicians. Often even more than Grammy wins, the televised performances can translate into increased prestige and industry credibility as well as boosts in sales of recordings and concert tickets. That makes Juanes’ appearance on the show all the more meaningful to him. “It’s a great honor,” he said shortly before stepping up on the circular second stage in the middle of the arena that will host several of the evening’s live numbers. “For the Grammys to invite someone from Colombia, it shows great respect for our culture.” Ehrlich said the decision to have Juanes sing in Spanish was not a hard sell. “Everybody wanted to do this,” he said.”
