Nicknamed "El Ídolo of Mexico" ("The Idol of Mexico"), Fernandez lives up to his title as he dedicates his entire acceptance speech to thanking Mexico and all of Latin America.

With 13 GRAMMY nominations, three GRAMMY wins, and eight Latin GRAMMY wins, the singer has his fair share of acceptance speeches under his belt. Still, his commitment to sharing the honor with his homeland makes this episode of GRAMMY Rewind hard to top.

"Las Avispas" was featured on Guerra's 2004 album, Para Ti. The project, which earned the singer/composer a Latin GRAMMY Award for Best Christian Album (Spanish Language) that same night, served as the predecessor to Guerra's 2007 album, La Llave de Mi Corazón, which won six Latin GRAMMYs, including Album Of The Year, at the 8th Latin GRAMMY Awards in 2007 as well as the GRAMMY for Best Tropical Latin Album at the 50th GRAMMY Awards in 2008.

Fast-forward to today, and Guerra is still at the center of the Biggest Night in Latin Music.
