The 20th annual Latin GRAMMYs will take place Nov. 14 in Las Vegas.
The nominees for the 2019 Latin GRAMMY Awards were officially announced on Tuesday. Alejandro Sanz, Rosalía and Fonseca lead with the most nominations. Fan favorites like Juanes, Marc Anthony, Luis Fonsi, Sebastian Yatra, Camila Cabello, Anitta, Sech, Bad Bunny and J Balvin also received noms.
The Album of The Year category is composed of a diverse group of artists including Paula Arenas (Visceral), Rubén Blades (Paraíso Road Gang), Andrés Calamaro (Cargar La Suerte), Fonseca (Agustín), Fonsi (Vida), Rosalía (El Mal Querer), Sanz (#ELDISCO), Ximena Sariñana (¿Dónde Bailarán Las Niñas?), Tony Succar (Más De Mi), and Yatra (Fantasía).
Following the news, Yatra spoke with ET exclusively about his nominations. He is up for Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album.
“I can’t believe this,” the 24-year-old singer told ET. “I’m mega excited [with] three nominations. I’m thankful for my whole team, my label Universal. I’m happy for all the other nominees and the people who have worked so hard this year, and it’s an amazing awards show. Latin music right now is at its best.”
Yatra went on to reveal that there’s one category in particular that he hopes to win.
“Any of them would be insane, but I think winning Album of the Year would be the greatest category of them all," he said. "But, just the fact that I’m in it is already something crazy. I’m going to be crossing my fingers and praying a lot before the awards show.”
Juanes, who is nominated in three caterogies, will be honored as the 2019 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. The 23-time Latin GRAMMY and two-time GRAMMY-winning artist will be celebrated with a star-studded gala on Nov. 13 that will feature a tribute concert with a slew of artists performing his greatest hits.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Latin GRAMMYs and it is sure to feature a variety of top performers. The 2019 Latin GRAMMYs will air live on Nov. 14 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Univision.
