Calle 13, a hip-hop tandem from Puerto Rico, took home all 13 of the awards they were nominated for -- including record and album of the year -- at Thursday's 10th Annual Latin Grammy Awards held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“This award, I have to dedicate to many people," René Pérez, who raps in Calle 13 as Residente, said, adding the recently-deceased Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa was a major source of inspiration for the pair. "We love her very much... her music will live forever."
