What an exciting night! The 23rd Latin GRAMMY Awards was filled with Latin flavor, rhythm, and dance, while we all watched eagerly and waited to see which of our favorite stars would take home the golden gramophone. Bad Bunny led the list with 10 nominations, followed by the Mexican producer Edgar Barrera, with nine; Rauw Alejandro, with eight; and Jorge Drexler, Rosalía, Jorge Luis Chacín, Julio Reyes Copello, Tainy, and Christina Aguilera with seven. In the end, Jorge Drexler took home six of the awards for which he was nominated, followed by Bad Bunny who won five, and Fito Paez with three awards.
As never seen before, the Best New Artist category had a tie between Angela Álvarez and Silvana Estrada. Their acceptance speech was one of the most emotional moments of the night. Also, the Best Pop Song category had two winners: Sebastián Yatra, for Tacones Rojos; and Jorge Drexler, with La Guerrilla de la Concordia.
The ceremony hosted by Thalía, Anitta, Laura Pausini, and Luis Fonsi at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, included live performances and the best of Latin music.
