Shakira is probably still pinching herself after the night she had at the Latin Grammy Awards.

She hauled in four awards including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Album. She also managed to wow the crowd with her duet performance of  ‘La Tortura’ opposite Alejandro Sanz.

I have to confess a soft spot for the lady: she seems the genuine article, and she has deserves a lot of credit for bringing Latino music to the forefront of today’s mainstream music scene. She’s a welcome contrast to the immature antics of Kanye West at the MTV Europe Awards - allowing her talent and performance to speak for themselves. Congrats to her on her well-deserved awards.
