At the Grammys he won three awards, including album of the year for DeBí TiRaR Más FOToS. The artist and organizers have kept many specifics about the halftime set under wraps. A trailer released in January showed him dancing to "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" (translated as "Unforgettable Dance"), and elements of Puerto Rican tradition have been mentioned in coverage of his recent shows.
