🌟 A Historic Milestone: The Latin Grammys Come to Seville for the First Time
The 24th edition of the Latin Grammys will mark a before and after in the history of these awards. For the first time since their creation in 2000, the most important gala in Latin music will be held outside the United States, and the city chosen to host this historic event is Seville.
When will the Latin Grammys in Seville take place?
The Latin Grammys in Seville will become a reality on Thursday 16 November 2023, when the Seville Conference and Exhibition Centre, better known as Fibes, becomes the world epicentre of Latin music. The ceremony will be broadcast live to millions of viewers in more than 80 countries, consolidating Seville as a top‑tier venue for major international cultural events.
📍Why is Seville hosting the Latin Grammys in Seville?
A Commitment to Ibero‑American Culture
The choice of Seville as the venue is no coincidence. The city, which was the capital of trade with America for centuries, maintains a historical and cultural bond with Ibero‑America that makes it the perfect bridge between Spain and the American continent. The Mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, highlighted that this decision "reinforces the international projection of our city and positions it as a top‑tier cultural reference".
The gala will be organised by the Latin Recording Academy in collaboration with Seville City Council, the Regional Government of Andalusia and the Provincial Council, with the support of numerous cultural and business institutions.
🎵 Colombia, a Protagonist in the Nominations
Although the Latin Grammys in Seville will be held in Spain, one country shines brightly in this edition: Colombia. Three Colombian artists lead the nominations with 7 nods each: Shakira, Karol G and Camilo. The Colombian presence at the gala promises to be overwhelming, with performances and awards expected in multiple categories.
🔥 Shakira: 7 Nominations
The Barranquilla native aspires to the most important awards of the night:
- Record of the Year for Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53

🎛️ Édgar Barrera: The Most Nominated Producer in History
