Embracing The Latin Grammys

So What If You Don't Speak Spanish? You Can Still Enjoy The Show

(CBS) 

There will be lots and lots, oh and did we say lots? of hot guys: Whether you like men, women (see below), or both, there will be a lot of mucho sexy people to watch.

2Hot, hot, hot salsa singer Victor Manuelle is co-hosting the show. Alejandro Sanz, the super-sexy Spaniard who inspired Shakira to cover herself in motor oil in the "La Tortura" video, will be performing. Ricky Martin will be shaking his still fit bon-bon. Boyishly adorable Luis Fonsi is presenting. And even though he's getting a little long in the tooth, we still think Maná lead singer Fher is such a rock star.

There will be lots and lots, oh and did we say lots? of hot women: One word: Shakira. No explanation needed.

Then there are gorgeous actresses Paz Vega, Sofia Vergara and Catalina Sandino. There's over-the-top rocker babe Alejandra Guzman. (We're dying to see what she'll wear!) Pop star Thalia will be performing and probably wearing something skimpy. Beautiful singer and actress Lucero is co-hosting.

Fast Fact

There are 47 categories in the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. The show honors music from Latin America and Spain and covers a much broader range of genres than the few Latin categories in the general Grammy Awards.

Novela star Adamari Lopez is presenting. Adamari just battled back from cancer (with the help of her man Luis Fonsi) and looks gorgeous. Teary-eyed moment alert: watch for her to get an ovation of love and support from the crowd.

There is no end to the appropriate selection of beverages and snacks to accompany your viewing: If you're not driving later, you can make a pitcher of margaritas or sangria; mix up some mojitos, cuba libres or capirinhas, or go the easy route and pick up a six pack of Corona, Dos Equis or El Presidente beer. If you're tee totaling, try the sweet bubbly beverage malta or some Goya fruit nectars.

For food, skip the Taco Bell and go authentic. You can try your hand at Venezuelan arepas, Mexican refried beans or classic Puerto Rican rice and beans. You can find a ton of recipes for these and other foods on the Goya Foods Web site.

Think about inviting a friend or neighbor who speaks Spanish and/or loves Latin music to watch the show with you: Music is a wonderful way for people to share their culture with others. You'll experience something different and make some new friends.

After all, bailando, cantando, and disfrutando is much more fun when shared.
