Karol G won Album of the Year, Natalia Lafourcade won Record of the Year, Shakira and DJ Bizarrap won Song of the Year, and Joaquina was voted Best New Artist to headline the 24th Latin Grammys, held tonight in Seville, Spain.
For the first time, Latin music’s biggest night was held outside the United States, as Seville rocked to the sounds of reggaeton, hip-hop, merengue, tango, and every genre of Latin music.
It was Karol G’s big night, as the singer took home the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year for “Mañana Será Bonito.” She joked from the stage about how much she loves to talk, but in moments like these, she finds herself speechless.
“Es demasiado chimba,” she said of winning the award, which translates to, “It’s very cool.” Karol G added that the album changed her life and she’s happy it changed a...

Residente is no stranger to making controversial art. On Wednesday, the Puerto Rican rap star released his intensely graphic short film for “Quiero Ser Baladista,” or “I Want to Be a Ballad Singer,” in which he calls out the commercialism of the Latin music industry with the help of Ricky Martin.
The video opens with the rapper being shot in an elevator as his killer places a hat with his signature [R] logo back on his head. Somber violin plays in the background, and quickly, the rapper continues dropping bars even...

This year has brought unprecedented changes to the entertainment business as productions worldwide have been stalled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which makes last week’s announcement of the launch of 1868 Studios, a partnership between Latin superstar Rene “Residente” Perez Joglar and Sony Music Entertainment, all the more welcome.

Like most Florida residents, Estefan has been locked down in isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. She’s passed the time by cleaning out her closets at home in Miami’s elite celebrity enclave, Star Island, where she resides...
