The Latin Grammy Awards were launched in 2000 with a telecast aired on CBS. It was the first primarily Spanish language primetime program carried on an English-language television network. Like the Grammy Awards, the Latin Grammys recognize artistic and technical excellence in the recording arts and sciences by peer vote (the Latin Grammy Awards Process). It has already come to represent the height of achievement in Latin music recording. The 10th Annual Latin Grammy Awards will take place on November 5, 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Juanes has won more Latin Grammy Awards than any other artist. He has won a total of 17 awards.
The record for most awards won by an artist in one night is five. In 2003 Juanes was awarded 5 and in 2007 Juan Luis Guerra tied the record. In 2008, Juanes earned five awards, repeating what he had achieved in 2003. Thus making him the first and so far only artist to do so.
