"A Dios Le Pido" won the 2002 Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
UN DIA NORMAL won the 2003 Latin Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and won for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album. "Es Por Ti" won for Record Of The Year and for Song Of The Year. "Mala Gente" won for Best Rock Song. The album was also nominated for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
Refusing to play the Latin pop crossover game, Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes returns with UN DIA NORMAL, a second solo album sung entirely in Spanish that manages to kick the idea of sophomore jinx square in the jewels. Teaming up with Rock En Espanol production kingpin Gustavo Santaolalla, the former Ekhymosis frontman delivers a pleasing fusion of folkloric and contemporary pop-rock nuances ranging from the jangly nugget "Desde Que Despierto" and rock steady cadence of "La Paga" to the crisply delivered vallenato "Luna." Other highlights include the crisp shuffle "Luna," bossa-nova-kissed "Es Por Ti," and infectious cumbia-infused "A Dios Le Pido" (which earned Juanes a Latin Grammy for Best Rock Song).
About the only concession Juanes makes to courting crossover success is "Fotografia," a ballad with Nelly Furtado, a native Portuguese speaker who does well in switching gears to sing in Spanish. With Juanes drawing from such a broad palette of music, UN DIA NORMAL expands the boundaries of Rock En Espanol to the point where these kinds of varied approaches will hopefully someday be the norm.

 
Artist Overview
Unlike many Latin crossover stars, Colombian-born Juanes (Juan Esteban Aristizbal Vsquez) sings entirely en Espanol. This hasn't hindered him, however, from having a wildly successful international career. He balances traditional pop songcraft with Latin rhythms, rocking guitar leads, and a distinctly Spanish lyrical romanticism. Juanes got his start in the late 1980s as part of the Columbian metal band Ekhymosis, and released his first solo album in 2000, produced by the celebrated film composer Gustavo Santaolalla. The album, and its two follow-ups, garnered excellent reviews, several Grammy awards, and the adoration of millions of fans who appreciate the performer's unique blend of talents.
