LAS VEGAS, Nevada. Spanish singer Rosalía emerged as one of the biggest winners at the 27th Latin Grammy Awards, securing five trophies, including Album of the Year for Lux and Song of the Year for La Perla. The ceremony, held on November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, also celebrated a remarkable night for Argentine artists, particularly Milo J and the duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso.
Rosalía entered the ceremony with seven nominations and collected awards for Best Pop Song, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Short Form Music Video, alongside her two major victories. The Album of the Year honor marked her third triumph in the category, reinforcing her position among contemporary Latin music’s most internationally recognized performers.
During her acceptance speech, the Catalan artist described Lux as a creative risk and an expression of her personal artistic identity. The album represents another stylistic transformation in a career characterized by experimentation across flamenco, electronic music, pop and alternative sounds.
Argentina also enjoyed significant recognition. Milo J won Record of the Year for Niño, a composition that draws attention to Argentine folk traditions. His achievements included Best Folk Music Album for La Vida Es Más Corta, highlighting the continued relevance of regional musical heritage within contemporary production.
The Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso collected several awards, including Best Electronic Music Performance and Best Pop/Rock Song, demonstrating the international appeal of their unconventional sound.
Puerto Rican performer Daddy Yankee received the Latin Recording Academy’s Person of the Year recognition, becoming the first artist associated with the Latin urban music movement to receive the distinction. His performance celebrated reggaeton’s cultural development and its transformation into a global commercial phenomenon.
Colombian singer Aria Vega was named Best New Artist, while Karol G earned Best Urban Music Album for Tropicoqueta. Other notable winners included Alejandro Sanz, Jorge Drexler and Juanes.
The ceremony also honored the legacy of salsa pioneer Willie Colón, recognizing his influence on generations of Latin musicians.
Beyond the individual awards, the evening illustrated the increasingly diverse identity of Latin music. Traditional folklore, experimental pop, electronic production and urban genres shared the spotlight, reflecting an industry where regional cultural expressions can achieve worldwide recognition.
For Rosalía and the Argentine performers, the awards represented more than commercial success. They demonstrated how artistic experimentation and cultural identity continue shaping the international music landscape.
