Latin Notas

In less than a decade siblings Jesse & Joy Huerta have become one of the most celebrated rock-pop acts to emerge in the Latin music scene. Last year their critically acclaimed album "Con Quién Se Queda El Perro?" ("Who Does the Dog Stay With?") swept the Latin Grammys with four wins including best record, song and contemporary pop vocal album. Most recently the Mexican-born duo was nominated for their first Grammy in the best Latin pop album category.
