Jorge Drexler Wins Record of the Year at Latin Grammys
Uruguayan singer-songwriter takes home second trophy in this category for “Telefonía”
Uruguayan Jorge Drexler owned the Latin Grammys on Thursday, picking up three awards including song and record of the year for "Telefonia" at a ceremony where other stars used their platform to promote messages of unity and justice.
Drexler also won best singer-songwriter album with "Salvavidas de Hielo." Spanish sensation Rosalia followed him with two awards, best urban fusion/performance and best alternative song, for the flamenco and trap hit "Malamente."
"I do not know what to say," Drexler said when receiving the last award of the night for "Telefonia," which he also played during the ceremony with Mon Laferte, Natalia Lafourcade and El David Aguilar, all playing string instruments.
Rosalia said she owed her success to flamenco, which she described as her "foundation," and dedicated her awards to her brother and other women in the music industry who have "made her take strength."
"I'm not going to stop fighting until I see the same number of men and women in the studio," she said. "Without them, I wouldn't be here."
