The BMI Awards were held at Las Vegas' Bellagio hotel last night where Colombian Rocker Juanes was the recipient of the 2010 President's Award.

The always humble humanitarian took stage with 5 members of his band, and delivered this very modest speech:

"Like all my colleagues here, I've been writing ever since I can remember. It's a pleasure to share this moment with all of you. "

He continued:

"I remember the first meeting I had with BMI, some 12 years ago, when I knew nothing of the music industry, and they walked me through all this."

The rocker also performed acoustic renditions of his hits,  and invited Mexican singer Ximena Sarinana to share in the duet "Fotografia" and friend Juan Luis Guerra to sing "Odio por Amor."

We said sueñan, not duermen... malpensados!

It looks like Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado y el ícono de la música ranchera, Alejandro Fernandez, hooked up in Miami to record one of the tracks for Nelly's first full-length Spanish album Mi Plan. "Sueños" is the song that brought them together to fuse their musical talent for one of several collaborations on Nelly's latest, release this past September. Other great collabs include Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas, y hasta La Mala Rodríguez.

Currently, Alejandro can be found in Guadalajara prepping for his own album release, Dos Mundos, which promises to show fans both sides of his world, the regional Mexican and his cross over into pop music. Le deseamos mucha suerte a Alejandro!

You can check out a bit of Nelly and Alex working together at The Hit Factory in Miami, during the recording of "Sueños" right here. [NellyFurtado.com]
