'Despacito' takes home 4 Latin Grammy Awards

LAS VEGAS (AP) — "Despacito" won big at the Latin Grammys.

Luis Fonsi's megahit featuring Daddy Yankee was the biggest winner of the night Thursday, picking up four trophies. The song, whose video is the most watched on YouTube, was honored for record of the year, best short-form music video, best urban fusion/performance and song of the year.

Puerto Rican rapper Residente, who lead the nominations ahead of the ceremony in Las Vegas, took home trophies for best urban music album for his self-titled album and best urban song for "Somos anormales."

Meanwhile, Colombian megastar Juanes claimed the trophy for best pop/rock album, breaking the record of 21 awards that he shared with Calle 13.

The last award of the night went to "Salsa Big Band" of Ruben Blades with Roberto Delgado and orchestra.

Also, Alejandro Sanz has dedicated his person of the year award at the Latin Grammys to the young immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, commonly referred to as "dreamers."

Sanz also dedicated the award to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Texas and Florida, all areas that were recently affected by natural disasters. He sang his hits "Corazon partio" and "No es lo mismo" with a group of "dreamers."

Sanz, who is celebrating two decades since the "Mas" album launched him to international stardom, was earned the award for his achievements in music and his philanthropic contributions to organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Greenpeace.

Sanz told reporters backstage that laws sometimes "are written in law firms and people are not given consideration."

The 18th annual Latin Grammy Awards are being presented at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
