Favorite Latin Grammy Music Videos

By Ikam Acosta

My favorite category in the Latin Grammys is usually best video, where you can truly see your favorite artist's vision of their work in action. Every year we are blown away by some particularly wonderful videos, whatever your criteria may be. Here's my pick for this year.

Shakira's 'Loca' makes me want to just get up and dance. It also makes me want to go to the beach. It's an upbeat, sexy video that is fun to watch and listen to. I like videos that do that: make you want to just go out and do some random thing. Also, seeing Shakira shake it like a Polaroid picture makes me want to go hit the gym.

One of my favorite videos this year would have to be 'Calma Pueblo,' by Calle 13. It's bizarre visuals, like, for starters, nuns playing guitar and a naked person mosh pit, are definitely something that will make you say, "What?" It also has a nice message of unity. Just don't get distracted by the naked guy playing guitar on the roof.

I feel I should give an honorable mention to Ricky Martin's 'Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tú.' This effervescent and care-free video makes your worries melt away just watching it. The bright vivid scenes paired with Ricky's melodious voice are harmony to my ears and eyes. I also feel it has a bit of a retro feel, taking me back to the 1990's. I dig it.

What music videos will you be rooting for this year?
