EFE.- Bad Bunny won the first Grammy of his career today thanks to the album “YHLQMDLG”, which won the award for the best Latin pop or urban album in a very unique gala adapted to the restrictions of the coronavirus.
“I am happy, I am very happy, I am very proud”, said the reggaeton in his speech, first in English.

“I want to thank every person in the world who listens to my music, my career and my ideas,” he added before turning to Spanish.
“It is very special to be able to achieve dreams simply by doing what I love. Getting an award for doing what I love is like, ‘Ok, give it to me,’ ”he joked.
The Puerto Rican star prevailed in this category over “Pausa” by Ricky Martin, “Por primera vez” by Camilo, “Mesa para dos” by Kany Garcia, and “3:33” by Debi Nova.
Bad Bunny was also nominated today along with the Colombian J Balvin and Dua Lipa for the best performance of a duo or group for “Un día (One Day)”.
But that Grammy went to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande for “Rain on Me.”
In addition to your award, Bad Bunny was today the protagonist at the Grammys as he performed live with his compatriot Jhay Cortez performing the song “Dákiti”.
Inside an empty Staples Center in Los Angeles, due to the limitations of the coronavirus, Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez got into a kind of maze of lights and blue and purple neons that reminded to some extent of a part of The Weeknd’s performance in the last Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny ended his performance tonight with a mention of Puerto Rico.
In addition, social networks also echoed the dances and the friendly attention with which both Bad Bunny as Jhay Cortez followed the performance of Dua Lipa, who took the stage right after them.
The 63rd Grammy Awards, which was postponed from January to March due to the coronavirus crisis, is being held today with a ceremony without an audience and fully adapted to the limitations of the pandemic.
Trevor Noah is the presenter of this music festival that has alternated live performances inside the empty Staples Center with the participation of the nominees in the open air and with a very small presence of people around the Los Angeles stadium.
Despite the circumstances and difficulties, the Recording Academy of the United States, which organizes the Grammys every year, has summoned an impressive list of performances that includes, among others, Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Dua Lipa , Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, John Mayer, BTS, Megan Thee Stallion, Bruno Mars and HAIM.
Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, arguably the world’s two biggest pop stars, will duel as awards favorites.
Beyoncé will run with nine nominations versus Taylor Swift’s six, the same nominations as Dua Lipa and Roddy Rich.
