It marked the first time that the awards were held outside of the United States.[2] [3] [4] [5] The ceremony was hosted by Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra, Mexican singer Danna Paola, Puerto Rican actress Roselyn Sánchez, and Spanish actress Paz Vega.[6]

Tangana, Liniker, Fito Páez, Fonseca, Ludmilla, Shakira, Jorge Drexler, and Rosalía.[7] Mexican-American producer and songwriter Edgar Barrera led the nominations with thirteen, followed by Camilo, Karol G, Shakira, and Kevyn Mauricio Cruz, all with seven nominations. Shakira became the first artist to receive three nominations for Song of the Year in the same year with "", "TQG", and "Acróstico".[8]

Laura Pausini was honored as the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year prior to the ceremony, making her the first artist of non Iberian/Ibero-American heritage to receive the honor.[9] Musicians and singers Carmen Linares, Manuel Mijares, Arturo Sandoval, Simone, Soda Stereo and Ana Torroja were honoured with the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award while Peruvian drummer Alex Acuña, Argentinian composer Gustavo Santaolalla and Puerto Rican music director Wisón Torres were this year's recipients for the Latin Grammy Trustees Award.[10]

Background

In March 2023, the Latin Recording Academy announced several changes for different categories:[18]

Category changes

Location

The 24th Annual Grammy Awards will mark the first time ever since its inauguration in 2000 that the ceremony is going to be held outside the United States. According to the President of the Regional Government of Andalusia, Juan Manuel Moreno, hosting the Latin Grammys in Seville could bring local tourism "an additional 12,000 people" and "media exposure" to the city, boosting the region's economic activity as well up to $3.2 billion.[19]

Controversy

Since the late 2010s, the inclusion of artists from Spain in the awards has garnered controversy from social media users who noted the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Academy itself has been accused of whitewashing by favoring Spaniards and White Latin Americans over Afro–Latin Americans.[20] [21] Furthermore, reggaeton was once stigmatized as the "music of immigrants" in Spain.[22]

Following the announcement of the new host city, criticism and debates arose towards its election, citing that "the European country [Spain] isn’t part of Latin America".[23] Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, has responded to disapproval on the inclusion of Spain by pointing out that "Latin music has been defined by Spanish and Portuguese languages",[24] and that the decision of hosting the ceremony overseas "is a gateway for artists to bring their music to Spain, and to Europe".[25]
