The Vegas vibes are set to rock tonight as the 26th annual edition of the Latin Grammy Awards is happening tonight at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
This year’s spectacular promises to deliver a major celebration of Latin music.
Let’s get down to finding out when and where to catch it, who the headliners are, and what’s new.
The three-hour broadcast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media company. It will air across TelevisaUnivision U.S. platforms beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT), following a one-hour pre-show at 7 p.m. ET/PT (6 p.m. CT).
Similar to the GRAMMYs, most of the Latin GRAMMYs are handed out during the Latin GRAMMY Premiere event, which follows the broadcast.
The list of performers is huge, which includes Bad Bunny (14 times Latin GRAMMY Awards), Paco Amoroso, CA7RIEL, Karol G, Marco Antonio Solis, Chuwi, Fuerza Regida and its singer Jesus Ortiz will all show their spectacular performances.
The dynamic duo of Maluma (a Colombian singer) and actor, producer, and musician Roselyn Sanchez will host the event.
It will mark Sanchez’s eighth time hosting the awards.
This year, the Latin Recording Academy has included a new field, for visual media, and two new categories: music for visual media and roots song.
Bad Bunny leads this year’s nominations with a total of 12 nods, clinching the top slot after producer-songwriter Edgar Barrera, who previously topped the list in the past two years with 13 and 9 nominations, respectively.
The Album of the Year category features Bad Bunny, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Rauw Alejandro, Gloria Estefan, Vicente Garcia, Joaquina, Natalia Lafourcade, Carin Leon, Liniker, Elena Rose, and Alejandro Sans.
The Record of the Year category included both Bad Bunny and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso as double nominees, joined by Lafourcade, Sanz, Jorge Drexler & Conociendo Rusia, Zoe Gotusso, Karol G, and Liniker.
The Best New Artist category includes Alleh, Annasofia, Yerai Cortes, Juliane Gamboa, Camila Guevara, Isadora, Alex Luna, Paloma Morphy, Sued Nunes, and Ruzzi.
