Calle 13 Takes Home Five Latin Grammy Awards

Last night, in Sin City, Calle 13 rolled a lucky pair of dice.  The popular Puerto Rican duo won all five awards they were nominated for at the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony.  Calle 13 won the honor for Album of the Year for their unique and innovative collaborations and for their politically-minded and spirited brand of reggaeton.  Lead singer Rene Perez, also known as “Residente,” dedicated the award to the famous Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa, who recently died in October at the age of 74.  Perez said, “May she rest in peace.  An applause for Mercedes Sosa, please.”  Later on, Perez elaborated on his admiration for Sosa by saying, “She is a voice who should never die, and young people should listen to her.  In an era of dictatorship and difficult times, she wasn’t afraid.  That’s why I dedicated it to her.”
