A spanish singer Rosalia made history today by becoming the most award-winning artist in the Latin Grammys, with six trophies, and the first to have her studio albums, culminating with ‘Lux’, to win the Album of the Year category.
The Spanish singer won the Album of the Year award for ‘Lux’, Song of the Year for ‘La Perla’, Best Short Format Videoclip for ‘Sauvignon Blanc’, Best Alternative Music Album for ‘Lux’, Best Pop Song for ‘La Perla’ and Best Sound Engineering of the Disc.
“ I know I have a lot to learn and I know I probably haven’t done my best work yet, but I know I have everything I need to be the best”, Rosalia said excited and surprised to receive the award.
Argentine singer and composer Milo J was the second most prized artist, winning the first golden gramophones of his career: Recording of the Year for its song “Niño”, Best Folk Music Album for “La vida é más corta”, Best Urban Interpretation for “Gil”, in collaboration with Trueno; and Best Album Graphic Design.
Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler raised three of the seven awards for which he was nominated: Best Song and Composer Album, Best Folk Song and Best Alternative Song.
Likewise, the Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso won the prizes for Best Electronic Performance, Best Pop/Rock Song and Best Long Duration Videoclip.
Karol G received the awards for Best Urban Music Album for “Tropicoqueta” and Reggaeton’s Best Performance for his collaboration with Feid, “Verano Rosa”.
Colombian artist Aria Vega won the award for Best Artist Revelation, while Spanish artist Alejandro Sanz and Yerai Cortés took home the awards for Best Contemporary Pop Album for ‘’Y ahora que+?’ and Best Flamenco Album for ‘POPULAR’, respectively.
Puerto Rican Daddy Yankee, creator of reggaeton hits and Latin hit music such as “Gasolina”, “Despacito” (in partnership with Luis Fonsi), “Con Calm” and “Dura”, was elected Personality of the Year of this issue.
Yankee expressed his surprise at receiving recognition from American singer Janet Jackson, with whom he collaborated in 2018 on the song "Made for Now".
One of the most striking speeches was that of Brazilian singer Anitta, after winning the award for best contemporary pop album in Portuguese for “Equilibrium”, in which she celebrated black culture on stage.
The gala was attended by US singer and elected congressman Bobby Pulido, who took advantage of the award for Best Tejano Album to announce that he will withdraw from the song.
Portuguese musician Dino D’Santiago won a Latin Grammy with the album he created with the Brazilians Criolo and Amaro Freitas.
The debut album of the Portuguese-Brazilian project, entitled “Criolo, Amaro & Dino”, won the award in the category of Best Album of Brazilian Popular Music/Afro Brazilian Portuguese Music.
One of the most special moments of the gala was the posthumous tribute to the legendary Puerto Rican salsa singer Willie Colón, who died last February at 75.
Artists such as Luis Enrique, Niña Pastori, Grupo Niche and Ángel ‘Cucco’ Peña went on stage to sing some of the most popular songs that consolidated their legacy in the Latin music industry.
The ceremony of the 27th edition of Latin Grammy is taking place in Las Vegas, United States, recognizing “a wide variety of artists” in 60 categories.
