You can catch all the action via livestream on the Latin Recording Academy’s social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and LatinGRAMMY.com. So, set your alarms, folks! It’s time to see who’ll be in the spotlight this year.
What’s New in 2023: Categories, Fields, and More!
The Latin Recording Academy isn’t resting on its laurels. In preparation for the 2023 ceremony, they’ve introduced three exciting new categories: Best Singer-Songwriter Song, Best Portuguese-Language Urban Performance, and Best Songwriter Of The Year. Not only that, a whole new field for Songwriting is born. Talk about fresh additions!
But wait, there’s more! Amendments have been made to existing categories like Album Of The Year, Song categories, and Best Engineered Album. This means more opportunities for our favorite artists to shine and for us to enjoy their incredible talent.
The Latin Grammys: A Silver Anniversary Approaches
Did you know that the Latin Grammys are about to hit their 25th anniversary? It all started on September 13, 2000, with the very first Latin Grammy Awards. Since then, this event has grown into a global sensation, celebrating the richness of Spanish and Portuguese music.
Beyond Las Vegas: The Latin Grammys Go Global
Traditionally held in Las Vegas, the Latin Grammy Awards have also graced cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and New York City. However, since 2009, Las Vegas has been the annual home of this glittering event. But in 2023, the Latin Grammys are packing their bags and heading to Seville, Spain! It’s a truly international affair this time.
More Than Latin America: A Celebration of Ibero-America
While Latin America is at the heart of the Latin Grammys, the scope of the Latin Recording Academy extends far beyond these borders. It includes Ibero-America, a region where Spanish and Portuguese reign supreme. From Chile to Colombia to Costa Rica, and from Panama to Paraguay to Peru, the Latin Grammys embrace the diversity of Spanish and Portuguese artists, celebrating their talents on a grand scale.
Expanding Horizons: 56 Categories and Counting
In 2023, the Latin Grammys are stepping up their game with 56 categories, up from the previous 53. These categories delve deep into various Latin genres and subgenres, leaving no stone unturned. From Best Cumbia/Vallenato Album to Best Merengue/Bachata Album, they cover it all. So, whether you’re into reggaeton or salsa, there’s something for everyone.
A Look Back: Inaugural Honors and Group Triumph
Can you believe the first Latin Grammy went to Juan Luis Guerra for Best Merengue Performance with “Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual”? That’s how it all began, with an electrifying performance that set the stage for years of Latin music excellence.
In 2018, history was made when the Mexican rock group Maná became the first-ever group to receive the Latin Grammy Person Of The Year award. Fher Olvera, their charismatic frontman, graciously accepted the honor on behalf of the band. It was a momentous occasion, recognizing their enduring contribution to the world of music.
Get Ready to Celebrate!
As we eagerly await the 2023 Latin Grammy nominations, one thing is clear: this year promises to be bigger, bolder, and more exciting than ever before. With new categories, a stunning international location, and a rich history to look back on, the Latin Grammys are ready to set the stage ablaze once again. So, stay tuned, music lovers—tonight, the world of Latin music comes alive, and you won’t want to miss a beat!
