The 2024 Latin Grammys returned to Miami, Fla. for its 25th anniversary, airing live on Thursday (Nov. 14) via Univision, Galavisión, and ViX.
The evening gathered a wave of star-studded guests including Mexican hitmaker Edgar Barrera, who for a second consecutive year topped the list of nominees with nine mentions and won songwriter of the year and producer of the year.
Following Barrera are superstars Karol G and Bad Bunny with eight nominations each. The former was up for album of the year for Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), the follow-up to her Latin Grammy-winning set of 2023’s Mañana Será Bonito. The latter had a nomination for record of the year with “Monaco.”
This year, artists like Alejandro Fernández, Ángela Aguilar, Becky G, Carín León, Eladio Carrión, Grupo Niche, Joe Jonas, Juan Luis Guerra, Kali Uchis, Marc Anthony, Pitbull, and Residente took center stage at the awards show.
For its 25th anniversary, the awards also incorporated a new field of electronic music, and two new categories: best Latin electronic music performance, and best contemporary Mexican music album.
“The Latin Grammys have grown in an amazing way to become a fundamental platform for music and culture,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, in a press release. “We are proud to share this year’s nominees, an international and diverse group of creators representing the richness and vastness of today’s Latin music.”
As memorable speeches, eclectic performances, and coveted awards took place during the live telecast, Billboard was behind the scenes gathering all the action that happened on the red carpet, inside the venue, and in the media center.
