won 'Latin Pop' song of the year for 'Calma'.
One of the great moments was when

received the Billboard Hall of Fame Award from
Emilio Estefan
.
"Almost 30 years ago I decided to make my music in an original way. I looked for my pop and the rock of my people from the traditional music of Colombia and a new sound was born. Much of the industry at that time did not see it, but the public yes, and through the radio we reached the first places, "said the Colombian.
And he said goodbye thanking Billboard, his work team and his family.
