The Latin Recording Academy will host Maluma, Milo J, Rosalía, Shakira and Sebastián Yatra as additional performers for the 24th annual Latin Grammys in Spain on Nov. 16. Andrea Bocelli and DJ Premier have also been confirmed to make an appearance.
Last year’s biggest winner, Jorge Drexler, joins as a newly-announced presenter, along with Anitta, Pedro Capó, Majo Aguilar, Luis Figueroa, Fonseca, Tiago Iorc, Mon Laferte, Natalia Lafourcade, John Leguizamo, Nicki Nicole, Carlos Ponce, Carlos Vives and Yandel. Meanwhile, Mexican pop singer Danna Paola and Yatra, along with actresses Roselyn Sánchez and Paz Vega, have been confirmed as hosts.
The Latin Grammys are taking place outside of the United States for the first time in the Spanish language awards show’s history, a move set to reflect the globalization of Latin music, per the Academy’s CEO.
Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma were announced as performers last month, and are set to deliver the first joint live performance of their Latin Grammy-nominated, “Ella Baila Sola.” The 24th annual ceremony will also include performances from current nominees Pablo Alborán, Camilo, Manuel Carrasco, Iza, Juanes, and Ozuna along with best new artist nominees Borja, Natascha Falcão, Gale, Paola Guanche, Joaquina and León Leiden.
Edgar Barrera — who is the most-nominated person of the evening (13 recognitions) for his production and songwriting credits in chart-topping songs from Shakira, Karol G, Grupo Frontera and more — is also billed as a performer for the evening.
Also on the lineup: Maria Becerra, Bizarrap, Kany García, Carin León, Christian Nodal, Rauw Alejandro and Alejandro Sanz. Feid has five nominations, including best reggaeton performance, best rap/hip-hop song and best urban music album for his LP “Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos El Álbum.” Christian Nodal also has two nominations, best regional song with García for their collab “La Siguente,” and best ranchero/mariachi album for “Forajido EP2.”
Alejandro is a best urban music album nominee for “Saturno,” and Sanz is nominated for record of the year and song of the year. León is in the running for best norteño album with his “Colmillo De Leche.”
