It’s a tight race for album of the year at the Latin Grammys, where both commercially and critically acclaimed albums are vying for the award.
This year, the 10 nominated LPs are Bolero by Angela Aguilar; Camilo’s Cuatro; Xande Canta Caetano by Xande De Pilares; Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season); García by Kany García; Juan Luis Guerra’s Radio Güira; Mon Laferte’s Autopoiética; Boca Chueca, Vol. 1 by Carín León; Residente’s Las Letras Ya No Importan; and Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
Last year, the album of the year award went to Karol G for Mañana Será Bonito, which became the first album ever by a Latin woman to top the Billboard 200. The set also won best urban album. “This album changed my life, and it’s incredible that it’s changed the life of so many people,” she said during one of her acceptance speeches that night.
The 2024 Latin Grammy nominations are led for a second consecutive year by Mexican hitmaker Edgar Barrera, who scored nine nods this year, including songwriter of the year and producer of the year. He is followed by superstars Karol G and Bad Bunny, who got eight mentions each.
The three-hour telecast of the Latin Grammys on Nov. 14 will be produced by TelevisaUnivision, and will air live on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and ViX from the Kaseya Center in Miami beginning at 8 p.m. ET, preceded by a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m.
