LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Juanes has won a Grammy for his "MTV Unplugged" album.

The Colombian pop superstar took home the award for best Latin pop album. Juanes also won the award in 2008 for "La Vida...Es Un Ratico."

The Latin jazz award, which was restored this year after its elimination was met with widespread protests, went to The Clare Fischer Latin Jazz Big Band for "¡Ritmo!" Bandleader and keyboardist Clare Fischer passed away in 2012.

Quetzal, a bilingual Los Angeles rock band, won for best Latin rock, urban or alternative album for "Imaginaries."

The salsa band Marlow Rosado Y La Riquena, led by Puerto Rican native Marlow Rosado, won the best tropical Latin award for "Retro."

Singer-songwriter Lila Downs won the best regional Mexican music album award for "Pecados Y Milagros."
