Support for NPR, and the following message come from Yarl and Pamela Mone, thanking the people who make public radio great every day and also those who listen.

From NPR music, this is Alt Latino. I'm Felix Contreras.

And I'm Anna Maria Sayer, let the chisemes begin. And Felix, do you know what the Chis May is this week? Grammys.

Oh my gosh. This was actually a very eventful Grammys year, this year, Felix, in my opinion.

Very rarely do the regular Grammys or the Gringo Grammys have as much connection to Latin

music as they did this year from what I can gather. Big notable moment for me from

the night where the Rauwis, we love them, the band Rahuayana from Venezuela. We've played

their music a ton on the show. We brought them to the tiny desk. This is the first time that

they have received a gringo Grammy.

Now these guys have been at it for a decade and they've never received quite this level of recognition.

So really exciting moment for kind of an off-center Latin alternative group.

They won for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.

Wouldn't have necessarily been what I expected the

Grammys to select but definitely a warranted win. Now they took the stage, they took the

platform to specifically speak directly to their Venezuelan community. They've always been

amazing about doing that in their music and now now in their acceptance speech too, this just

so happened to come on the exact same day that temporary protected status was revoked for

350,000 Venezuelans. So a contentious moment, a lot of people are talking about the Venezuelan

community, a lot of people in the community are looking towards what's next.

So this band took the stage to bring hope, to talk about cultural things for Venezuela,

and to really speak to and give some peace about what's on the hearts and minds of people in their community. Okay, next up

notable moment of the night was our girl Shakira.
