Édgar Barrera — the producer and songwriter known for his work
with such artists as Madonna, Karol G, Peso Pluma, Shakira,
Grupo Frontera and beyond — leads the 2024 Latin Grammy
nominations for a second year in a row. This year, he’s up for
nine awards; last year he received 13 nominations and won three.
Barrera is nominated for producer, songwriter, record and album
of the year. He’s also nominated twice in the best Regional
Mexican song category, and three times in the song of the year
category, for his work on Shakira and Grupo Frontera’s “Entre
Paréntesis”, Karol G’s “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” and Maluma and Carin
León’s “Según Quién.”
Just behind Barrera are some of his collaborators, like Karol G
and Bad Bunny. Those giants of reggaetón and beyond are tied
with eight nominations each.
Colombian songwriter Keityn has six nods.
The Latin Grammys will begin at 8 p.m. Eastern and are being
held at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Performers at this year’s bash include Barrera, Residente, Myke
Towers, DJ Khaled, Jon Bon Jovi, Joe Jonas, Anitta, Becky G,
Eladio Carrión, Grupo Frontera, Kali Uchis, Pitbull, Luis Fonsi,
Juan Luis Guerra, Carín León and many more.
The 2024 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year recipient,
Carlos Vives, will also perform. Past winners include Juanes,
Laura Pausini, Marco Antonio Solís, Rubén Blades and more.
There are also two new categories this year: best Latin
electronic music performance, housed within the new electronic
music field, and best contemporary Mexican music album.
The three-hour 25th annual Latin Grammy Awards telecast will air
live on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and ViX.
