The Arts Desk wrote: "Caetano Veloso gets more extraordinary."

The 15th annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony was held on Thursday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and televised live on Univision, following President Obama's White House address on immigration. For more on the awards and the complete list of nominees and winners, visit latingrammy.com.
