"Among the nominees for the 68th Grammy Awards announced Friday morning were a slate of Latinx artists, with Bad Bunny leading the way with six and making Grammys history in the process. The Puerto Rican singer became the first Spanish-language artist to earn nominations in several top categories for his critically acclaimed album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," including record of the year, album of the year and song of the year."
"Global girl group Katseye - which features Venezuelan Cuban American dancer/singer Daniela Avanzini - also picked up a nomination in the new artist category, as well as a nod in the pop duo/group performance category for the track "Gabriela." Colombian hitmaker Karol G's "Tropicoqueta" received a Latin pop album nomination. Recording Academy darling Edgar Barrera nabbed his third consecutive songwriter of the year (non-classical) nomination for his work with Karol G, Juanes, Shakira, Fuerza Regida, Grupo Frontera, Young Miko, Marco Antonio Solís, Manuel Turizo and Carlos Santana."
"The not-so-new band - led by singer María Zardoya - were nominated in the ever-perplexing new artist category. This marked the long-present L.A. indie group's first ever Grammy nomination. Kooky Argentine duo received their first ever Grammy nomination under Latin rock or alternative album for their nine-track EP, "Papota." If they win, they will be the second Argentine group to win in that category; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs won back in 1998 when the category first appeared."
Bad Bunny led Latinx nominees for the 68th Grammy Awards with six nominations and became the first Spanish-language artist nominated in the top categories for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. He received nominations for record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, música urbana album, global music performance ("EoO") and album cover, and has three Grammy wins from ten nominations. Bad Bunny also led the 2025 Latin Grammy nominations with 12. An L.A. indie band led by María Zardoya and global girl group Katseye earned new artist nods. Karol G, Edgar Barrera and an Argentine duo also secured Latin-category nominations. The Latin Grammys will take place Nov. 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
