0

The Latin Grammy Awards took place on Thursday, Nov. 19 awarding the year’s top artists in Latin music. Featuring mostly video acceptances and a limited red carpet, performers did take the stage and wowed. Among the highlights: J Balvin (pictured) performing “Rojo” under a sculpture of two hands coming together (the piece weighed 2.6 tons and required two trucks to transport); Karol G delivering “Tusa” backed by al all-female band; Sebastián Yatra, joined by Guaynaa, performing “Chica Ideal” and Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”; Bad Bunny beamed in from San Juan, Puerto Rico to sing “Bichiyal” and “Si Veo A Tu Mamá”; and Anitta putting her spin on Sergio Mendes’ “Mas Que Nada” from her home city of Río de Janeiro, followed by her own “Me Gusta.”

Winners include Spanish singer Rosalía, who took home album of the year last year, and picked up a trio of trophies on Thursday night: best urban song and best urban fusion performance for  “Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi” (both with Ozuna) and best short form music video for “TKN,” featuring rapper Travis Scott. Natalia Lafourcade won album of the year for “Un Canto por México, Vol. 1”; “Contigo” by Alejandro Sanz for record of the year; and song of the year went to Residente for “René.”

The 2020 edition of the Latin Grammys also introduced a best Reggaeton performance cateogory for the first time. The honor went to Bad Bunny for “Yo Perreo Sola.”
