We are delighted to announce that Shakira won a Latin Grammy award in Las Vegas on Thursday night, receiving the Best Female Pop Vocal Album for "Sale el Sol".

At the ceremony held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Shakira performed three songs: "Before Six", "Devotion" and "Crazy".

On Wednesday night, Shakira also received a tribute from the Latin Recording Academy, when she was recognized as Person of the Year 2011 for her outstanding artistic achievements and philanthropic work. The gala dinner and concert was attended by many Latin music artists who reinterpreted Shakira's best-known songs. It also included a surprise for Shakira when her father, William Mebarak, took the stage and sang a special song, "My Darling".

Shakira sent us the following message to accompany this video summary of this ceremony. "I want to share with you a video from one of the most special nights of my life. A night where peers, friends and family made me feel very loved. Thank you to all of them from the bottom of my heart. Shak"
