Juanes’ MTV Unplugged won the Latin Grammy for Album of The Year. MTV Unplugged was produced by Juan Luis Guerra, who won the award for Producer of the Year.
Juanes appeared on Tony Bennett Duets – American Classic, where they sang The Shadow of Your Smile.
Juan Luis Guerra and Mr. Bennett sang Just In Time for the recently released Viva Duets.
