Remember last year Chayanne and crew set it off at the 2010 Latin Billboard Awards Ceremonies with the first live performance of the hit single "Tu Boca"(After that...fans were scouring the internet to see if that chair was for sale on eBay!)

Premio lo Nuestro 2011: Among the Nominees Are Alejandro Sanz, Chayanne and Enrique Iglesias

It's that time again....and what would the Premio lo Nuestro awards be without Chayanne? It would still be good show...but it wouldn't be a GREAT show! As we told you in a prior post, Chayanne has scored three nominations in the Premio's. (Way to go Chayanne!) I'm sure it's obvious who I'm cheering for! However, there are other incredible artists that have been nominated either in the same categories as Chayanne or other categories.

Over the next several weeks Caja will be posting spotlights, in the "Latidos" and "Rhythms and Blogs" sections of the Caja, on all of the artists that have been nominated for a Premio. We will also be shining the spot light on some of the artists both Latin as well as other genres that have been nominated for a Grammy. Some of the artists have been nominated for both! For example, Alejandro Sanz has been nominated for both a Premio and a Grammy, way to go Alejandro.....hopefully next year Chayanne will be nominated for both as well....did you hear that Grammy people! LOL!

So keep an eye out for more information on Chayanne, as always, as well as the nominees for the Premio's and the Grammy's!
