Cuban protest anthem "Patria y Vida" wins Latin Grammy for song of the year

Hip-hop song "Patria y Vida" ("Homeland and Life") won the Latin Grammy for song of the year Thursday night, months after it became an anthem for anti-government protests in Cuba. The song also won a Latin Grammy for best urban song. 

After receiving one of the top awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Cuban singer Yotuel Romero, who fled the island at 19 years old, dedicated the award to all Latina mothers who "fight for their children's dreams."

"She told me, 'Son, be courageous and do what my generation never could.' he said on stage. "'But mom, you're the one with courage for letting your children go so they can accomplish their dreams.'"
