Bon Jovi 'steals' the night at the Latin Grammys with his performance alongside Pitbull

As with "Si Si Si"! It was the song that Carlos Vives opened the night with in his medley, and a perfect distillation of the spirit of the event. There was a lot to say "yes" to, especially when he was joined by fellow Colombian musicians Juanes, Sebastian Yatra and Camilo, but that wasn't the best part, but the performance of Bon Jovi alongside Pitbull.

Carlos Vives was honored as the Latin Grammy Person of the Year in a ceremony the night before, and Jon Bon Jovi presented him with his award on stage Thursday night. Previous winners include Juanes, Laura Pausini, Marco Antonio Solis, Ruben Blades and more.

The first award of the night was presented shortly afterwards: best contemporary Mexican music album for Carin Leon for his "Boca Chueca, Vol. 1." Then Joe Jonas and Ela Taubert joined for a bilingual version of their viral hit, "?Como Paso?" A few hours later, she would take home the coveted best new artist trophy, delivering an emotional speech.

The union of Miami with New Jersey between Pitbull and Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi representing New Jersey and Pitbull representing Miami, were the moment of greatest ovation at the Latin Grammy. They performed their newly released collaboration "Now Or Never", a remix of the band's classic "It's My Life".

The Cuban-American rapper and singer and the legendary American rock star lit up the stage with their mesmerizing performance, as the audience bobbed their heads and sang along as if reliving the '90s with these two musicians.

Pitbull and Jon Bon Jovi, the leader and founding member of Bon Jovi, struck up a friendship after meeting at the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and awards ceremony. They have since taken the stage together at the Hollywood Bowl last April for a duet of "Thank God & Jimmy Buffett" during the Keep The Party Going: A Tribute To Jimmy Buffett.

What song did Pitbull and Bon Jovi perform?

Once on stage, Bon Jovi and Pitbull sang "Now Or Never" with the recognisable riff of the original song It's My Life and its chorus sounding as powerful as ever, with Pitbull adding fresh verses in English, such as "Me, I am a man of my word, and I live it" and "Just live your life like Frank Sinatra, your way, and have no fear".
