Latin Grammy Update: Café Tacuba, Juanes, And Julieta Venegas Top Nominations!

Need another reason to throw a block party? You will definitely want to blast la música on your stoop after you check out the complete list of the 2008 Latin Grammy Awards nominees!

The Sunset Strip was blazing with extra fuego after veteran alt-rockers Café Tacuba topped the Latin Grammy list with six nominations including, "Album of the Year" and "Best Alternative Song" for "Volver A Comenzar."

Colombian roquero Juanes no se queda atrás! Seems like these chavos aren't just competing at Los Premios. The fine chart-topper snagged a total of five nominations and joined Café Tacuba in the categories for "Album of the Year," "Song of the Year," and "Record of the Year."

Our favorite melancholic starlet Julieta Venegas was representing for las mujeres by snatching five Latin Grammy noms for "Song of the Year" for "El Presente" and "Best Alternative Album." Luckily we will be celebrating alongside Julieta during her live performance at the Nokia Theater tomorrow! Hating? Then snag your own Julieta Venegas tour ticket and join la fiesta!

Of course we aren't just celebrating las estrellas that trumped the nominations! Wisin y Yandel proved that they aren't underdogs by grabbing the nomination for "Best Urban Music Album," while Daddy Yankee got even more credit in el barrio for catching the "Best Urban Song of The Year." In addition to old school talent, new school MTV Tr3s "Descubre and Download" artist Ximena Sariňana also walked our with a nom for "Best New Artist." We know she had the goods all along!

Oye, we can feed you the rest of the news, but we know you're more independent than that. Check out the complete primary list of the 9th Annual Latin Grammy nominations right below the hood!
