At the 2014 Latin Grammy Awards, the late Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía’s "Canción Andaluza" won for album of the year. Meanwhile, crossover star Enrique Iglesias, Cuban singer-songwriter Descemer Bueno and Cuban reggaeton group Gente de Zona took home song of the year honors for "Bailando," an international hit that peaked at No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Heading into the night, Puerto Rican rap duo Calle 13 had accrued the most nominations for their second consecutive year with nine nods, including record of the year and album of the year. Calle 13 member Eduardo Cabra earned an additional nomination as a producer for Jorge Drexler’s "Bailar En La Cava," which was up for album of the year. As it turned out, the duo won just two awards, for urban music album and alternative song.
The 15th Latin Grammy Awards were presented at the MGM Grand Garden Area in Las Vegas and shown on Univision. See the complete list of nominees and winners below.
