Another performer is added to the upcoming 57th annual Grammy Awards. Juanes is tapped to perform in Spanish at the prestigious event. While he delivered an English-Spanish rendition of Elton John's "Your Song" in 2013, he will play his own song this year.
"I'm very excited. I can't believe this is going to happen. You know, I've been waiting for this moment for many years and we are very excited now that it's about to come, to happen," the Colombian singer said in a statement to The Associated Press.
"We are going to perform a new song called 'Juntos,' or 'Together,' the song that we made for the Disney movie 'McFarland, USA'," he dished on. "So, yes, we're rehearsing and practicing a lot, and just ... (getting) ready for that big night."
"A two-time Grammy and 20-time Latin Grammy winner, we are thrilled that current nominee Juanes has been added to the exciting lineup of artists performing at the 57th annual Grammy Awards," said Neil Portnow, president/CEO of The Recording Academy.
The Grammy Awards will be held February 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Madonna, Sam Smith, Usher, Ed Sheeran, Lady GaGa, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney are among the musical guests, while Taylor Swift is tapped as one of the A-list presenters.
This year, Juanes is nominated for Best Latin Pop Album, thanks to his LP "Loco de Amor". The artists with the most nods are Sam Smith, Beyonce Knowles, and Pharrell.
