There’s no question that some of the best moments of the 60th Grammy Awards held in New York City belonged to artists with Caribbean heritage. Here are some video highlights of last night’s superstars.
Shaggy and Sting
These legendary singers first lit up the stage earlier this month at the annual Shaggy & Friends fundraiser benefitting Bustamante Hospital. Their Grammy set opened with a rendition of Sting’s “Englishman in New York” before they performed the new single ” “Don’t Make Me Wait” for the music industry’s best and brightest. Stay tuned for a joint album later this year.

Bruno Mars and Cardi B
The night’s biggest winner is of Puerto Rican heritage and his soul-soothing music would not be denied this year. Along with the Dominican/Trini rapper who shot to stardom, “Finesse,” their ode to the 90s was full of vibrance.
