NARAS Heroes: Juanes is a documentary short honoring multiple Grammy winner and singer/songwriter/guitarist Juanes, who fused together a unique combination of musical genres.

Colombian singer/songwriter/guitarist Juanes showed an early affinity both for the guitar and for the various musical idioms that surrounded him in his native Medellin, Colombia, including traditional Latin sounds of boleros, tangos, cumbias, and Colombian folk music such as vallenatto and guasca. He brought this unique combination of genres together during his 11-year, seven-album stint in the seminal Latin-rock band Ekhymosis, which would become Juanes' launching pad. Fijate Bien, his first solo record, won him three Latin GRAMMY Awards, including Best New Artist. Juanes' second record, Un Día Normal, released in May 2002, combined balladry with indigenous Colombian rhythms and straightforward pop/rock material. It scored him another Latin GRAMMY in 2002 for Best Rock Song for "A Dios Le Pido" and five more Latin GRAMMYs in 2003 including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for "Es Por Ti."
