At a gala where artists stood up against the government of US President Donald Trump, Gustavo Dudamel added two more gramophones to his collection and Puerto Rican Bad Bunny made history by winning the Album of the Year award, the most important of the evening.

Dudamel, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, won in the categories of Best Choral Performance (for his work as conductor of the work 'Ortiz: Yanga') and Best Compilation Album (for the same title).

The Barquisimeto native, however, was unable to win in the Best Orchestral Performance category, along with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, for the album 'Ravel: Boléro, M. 81'.

It has 9

With these awards, the maestro from Lara increases his career Grammy collection to nine. To that tally, he adds three Latin Grammys.

Bad Bunny, for his part, made history by winning the award for Best Album of the Year with his album 'Debí tirar más fotos', the first work entirely in Spanish to achieve this recognition.

"Thank you, Mommy, for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico," said Benito Martinez Ocasio (his real name), after receiving the award from British singer Harry Styles.

He dedicated his award to migrants.

"Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you that we are much bigger than 100x25 and there is nothing we cannot achieve," he commented in Spanish, referring to the approximate measurements of the island: 100 miles long by 35 miles wide.

Then he switched to English: “I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams.”

'Debí tirar más fotos' is Bad Bunny's sixth studio album and consists of 17 songs. It is described by its author as a love letter to his homeland, in which he addresses social issues such as the gentrification affecting the island.

Bad Rabbit and Santana

With the Grammy for Album of the Year, the Puerto Rican joins Mexican Carlos Santana as the only two Latinos to triumph in the top category of the famous award.

Previously, Bad Bunny also won in the categories of Best Urban Music Album and Best Global Musical Performance. The artist arrived at the 68th Grammy Awards ceremony with six nominations.

“Before thanking God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” the Puerto Rican artist commented after winning the award for Best Urban Music Album. Bad Bunny is one week away from headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, the most important sporting event in the United States. His selection for the show has been openly criticized on multiple occasions by President Donald Trump.

"We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are human beings and we are Americans," he added in a powerful speech in which he called for confronting the hatred that is increasingly polarizing society.

Everyone against ICE

Bad Bunny was not the only one to speak out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Singer Billie Eilish, one of the fiercest voices in the industry against Trump, took advantage of the moment when she was crowned with the Grammy for Song of the Year (for 'Wildflower') to launch a powerful message in defense of migrants in the US: "No one is illegal on stolen land... Fuck ICE," she said.

British soul-pop singer Olivia Dean, recognized as Best New Artist, shared that she is the granddaughter of an immigrant, people who, according to her, “deserve to be celebrated.”

more reviews

It's worth noting that on the red carpet, artists like Eilish, Finneas, and Carole King wore pins on the Grammy stage. Even Justin and Hailey Bieber, who don't usually talk about politics, wore them too.

Likewise, Trevor Noah, the gala's host, took advantage of several of his appearances to take jabs at the current US president.

After Billie Eilish's win, Noah commented: "That's a Grammy every artist wants—almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein left, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton."

Trump wants to sue Trevor Noah

The host also mocked Trump's desire for a third term by referencing his own farewell as host: "This is my sixth and final year hosting the Grammys... I believe in term limits. I wanted to set an example... Leave when your time is up."

Noah's jokes and comments provoked a reaction from Trump. The president, in fact, has already threatened to sue Noah for claiming he was on Jeffrey Epstein's island: "Looks like I'm going to be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dumb host," he posted on his social media account, Truth.

The 68th Grammy Awards took place this Sunday, February 1st, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, USA.
