Calle 13, Luis Fonsi set for Latin Grammy awards

While many people might be quick to dismiss reggaeton (or the music it's evolved into) and back Calle 13, our bet is on Wisin & Yandel's "La Revolucion," a hard-worked, hard-earned album that has great hit singles.

BEST TROPICAL SONG

Notwithstanding the success of "El Amor" by Tito "El Bambino," the song of the year was "Yo No Se Manana," performed by Luis Enrique. And Enrique's album "Ciclos" will nab best salsa album as well.

BEST SINGER/SONGWRITER ALBUM

Now this is a hot category. Will Franco De Vita finally get a long-deserved Latin Grammy with "Simplemente La Verdad?" Probably not, although the beauty of his album and his decision to invite emerging singer/songwriters to tour with him this year should make him a shoo-in. "Zi e Zie" by Brazilian legend Caetano Veloso, a past winner in this category, will likely prevail over "Simplemente" and Ricardo Arjona's "5o Piso," another gem.
