Watch Eduardo Cabra Accept Producer Of The Year

"Wow. Today is a crazy day. Today my son has a birthday, and this is happening, you know [it's] a very special day. I want to show my gratitude towards the technicians, to all the musicians with whom I've shared the stage with [and] with whom I've shared the studio with — the one who picks up a cable to the one who is sitting next to the console. All of those people are teachers. One is constantly learning from all of the people that affect you being onstage or [in] the recording studio. They are all teachers — really, thank you very much for your education, teachings, and your tales. In addition, I want to thank the Academy. Really, this is super neat that this is happening … thank you. And thank you to the projects [on] which I collaborated this year. They were incredible projects, incredible foundations. We had a blast in the studio. I think that's what it's all about: have fun, have a good time. I had a blast during those five jobs. Thanks to Joan. Thanks to Wendell for all of the hours we spent together in the studio. [I'm] truly thankful. Take care." — Eduardo Cabra

The win marks Cabra's 23rd Latin GRAMMY of his career.  It is the second time he's won this category. He previously won as a member of Calle 13 at the 12th Latin GRAMMY Awards in 2011.

Cabra (Visitante) produced Vicente García’s A La Mar, La Vida Bohéme’s La Lucha and Silvina Moreno’s Sofá, among other work this past year.

Previous winners for Producer Of The Year include Sebastian Krys, Juan Luis Guerra, Sergio George, and Rafael Aracute. 

The other nominees in the category this year were Eduardo Bergallo, Moogie Canazio, Hamilton De Holanda, Marcos Portinari, Daniel Santiago, and Armando Manzanero.

"Despacito," Vicente García and Rubén Blades emerged as the big winners at the 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards on Nov. 16 in Las Vegas.

Rubén Blades Album Of The Year | Acceptance Speech

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," the 2017 smash that just won't slow down, took home four awards: Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Best Short Form Music Video, and Best Urban Fusion/Performance. The song's remix earned the latter award, which netted Justin Bieber his first career Latin GRAMMY win.

Newcomer Dominican singer/songwriter García won his first three career Latin awards: Best New Artist, Best Singer-Songwriter Album for A La Mar and Best Tropical Song for "Bachata En Kingston."

GRAMMY winner Lin-Manuel Miranda of "Hamilton" fame was feted with special recognition in the form of a President's Merit Award. "No one gets here alone," said Miranda, who referred to himself as the "weird theater kid."

The 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards was all about dazzling performances as well.

Following a moment of silence for Puerto Rico and Mexico and the people affected by the recent natural disasters, Residente opened the show on a poignant note with his "Hijos Del Cañaveral."

Alejandro Sanz, the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, was honored by fellow Latin GRAMMY winner Juan Luis Guerra. After dedicating the award to his family, Sanz performed a medley of his hits, including "Corazón Partío."

Making an impressive Latin GRAMMY stage debut, Miami-based boy band collective — and Best New Artist nominees — Cnco performed their hit "Reggaetton Lento."

Colombian reggaeton singer/songwriter Maluma commanded the stage with verve during a reading of his "Felicies Los 4."

Fresh from winning her first Latin GRAMMY for Best Alternative Song, Chile's Mon Laferte energetically performed her winning song: "Amárrame."

In a raucous finale, Fonsi served up a knock-out punch of "Despacito" alongside special guests Bomba Estéreo, Víctor Manuelle and Diplo. Fittingly, the biggest song in Latin music in 2017 served as an unforgettable coda to The Biggest Night in Latin Music.

Calle 13 Win Latin GRAMMY Album Of The Year

In celebration of the vibrant heritage of Latin music awarded through the Latin GRAMMYs each year, here are the top Latin GRAMMY winners of all time, through the 18th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards.

Top Latin GRAMMY Winners Infographic

René Pérez, 24

The top nominee at the 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards with nine nods, including Album Of The Year, René Pérez — aka Residente — is perhaps best known as one-half of the duo Calle 13. But in 2017, he took his sound in new directions with his self-titled solo album and earned a pair of milestones on his own. The Latin GRAMMY winner — who earned 22 GRAMMYs as a member of Calle 13 — took home the Latin GRAMMYs for Best Urban Music Album and Best Urban Song for "Somos Anormales," earning him the title of top Latin GRAMMY winner of all time.

Eduardo Cabra, 24

The other half of Calle 13, Eduardo Cabra — aka Visitante — earned 22 of his career GRAMMYs as a member of the record-setting duo, and at the 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards, pulled ahead for the second-highest Laitn GRAMMY winner of all times when he earned a Producer Of The Year Latin GRAMMY for his work with first-time Latin GRAMMY winner Vicente García, Diana Fuentes and Tommy Torres, among others.

Calle 13, 22

Taking the Puerto Rican tradition of reggaetón in unexpected clever directions, Eduardo Cabra (Visitante) and René Pérez (Residente) perform together as Calle 13. They won Latin GRAMMY recognition with their debut self-titled album and recognition from both the Latin GRAMMYs and the GRAMMYs for their four subsequent albums, including two Latin GRAMMY wins for Album Of The Year. The duo made history at the 12th Latin GRAMMY Awards when they hauled in a total of nine awards, including Album, Record and Song Of The Year, in one night.

Juanes, 22

Refreshing authenticity helped lift Juanes from teen success with his band Ekhymosis in Colombia to global success as a solo pop-rock icon. Bursting on the scene with his 2000 debut, Fijate Bien, he won his first three Latin GRAMMYs and received his first GRAMMY nomination for 2001. He's earned Latin GRAMMY Album Of The Year honors three times, for Un Día Normal (2003), La Vida … Es Un Ratico (2008) and MTV Unplugged (2012).

He's won the esteemed Album Of The Year award four times to date, the most in the category's history to date.

Alejandro Sanz, 18

Alejandro Sanz grew up with music in Spain and established himself as a pop hitmaker/songwriter long before his 2000 album, El Alma Al Aire, netted him his first four Latin GRAMMYs. Branching out stylistically with 2003's No Es Lo Mismo, he won another four Latin GRAMMYs and his first GRAMMY, for Best Latin Pop Album, a category he went on to win another two times. The Spaniard has earned the Tatin GRAMMY Album Of The Year award three times: El Alma Al Aire (2001), MTV Unplugged (2002) and No Es Lo Mismo (2004).

Gustavo Santaolalla, 16

Rooted in Argentine tango, Gustavo Santaolalla has an extraordinary wingspread of talents. As a producer, he earned the Latin GRAMMY for Album and Record Of The Year twice with Juanes.

A producer/engineer best known for his mixing and mastering, Carlos Alvarez won Latin GRAMMYs for his finishing touches on albums by Anthony, George, Guerra, Alejandra Guzmán, India, and Sanz.

His Latin GRAMMY wins include engineering and mixing 2013's Sergio George Presents Salsa Giants.

Rafael Arcaute, 13

As a producer/engineer/mixer, Rafael Arcaute won his first Latin GRAMMY as well as a GRAMMY for Calle 13's 2008 album, Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo. At the 12th Latin GRAMMY Awards in 2011, Arcaute shared in seven wins with Calle 13 related to their smash album Entren Los Que Quieran, including Producer Of The Year. Arcaute also won the Latin GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year again in 2016.
