From Shakira’s golden performance of “Acróstico” to Rosalía’s epic show opener performing “Se Nos Rompió El Amor,” the 24th annual Latin Grammys has been filled with memorable musical numbers.
Originally sung by Rocío Jurado, written by La Magdalena and Manuel Alejandro — Rosalía sang a great tribute to her native Spain — filled with gut-wrenching emotion. Others who took the stage include Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma to sing “Ella Baila Sola,” Carin León and Maluma for “Según Quién” and Rauw Alejandro, who was joined by Juanes for an epic medley of hits, kicking off with “Se Fue” – a nod to Laura Pausini who was honored with Person of the Year. Besides photos of performances, the gallery also includes candid moments between nominees either backstage or in their seats.
The Latin Grammys are taking place in FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre in Seville, and will be broadcast Stateside on the Univision network, UniMás and Galavision and throughout Latin America at 8:30 p.m. ET. Early winners include songwriter and producer Edgar Barrera, who won three awards at the pre-telecast ceremony.
Barrera is the leading nominee in this year’s awards. Other big contenders of the evening include Colombian stars Camilo, Karol G, Shakira and composer Kevyn Mauricio Cruz (also known as Keityn), each with seven nominations. Argentine producer and DJ Bizarrap has six. Pablo Alborán, Bad Bunny, Maria Becerra, Feid, Dave Cutch and Natalia Lafourcade, have five nominations each; and Santiago Alvarado, Paula Arenas, Juanes and Ovy on the Drums have four each.
