BMI Congratulates its 2019 Latin GRAMMY Nominees

Once again, BMI is exceptionally proud of its numerous affiliates who have been singled out for recognition as nominees for this year’s 20th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards.  Many BMI songwriters from the Latin community received multiple nods for Latin GRAMMY gold for their work from the past year, including Juan Luis Guerra, who is up for Best Contemporary/Tropical Fusion Album for Literal, as well as Best Tropical Song, Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for “Kitipun.” J Balvin made a huge impression in the stakes for Best Urban Song—he’s been nominated in that category for both “Caliente” and “Con Altura.” Balvin’s collaborator on “Con Altura,” Rosalía (SGAE), is also nominated for that award, along with Record Of The Year for “Aute Couture,” Best Pop Song for “Pienso En Tu Mirá,” and both Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album and Album Of The Year for El Mal Querer.  Camila Cabello’s “Mi Persona Favorita” is nominated for both Song Of The Year and Best Pop Song. Juanes, meanwhile, has earned nods for Record Of The Year for “La Plata” and Song Of The Year for “Querer Mejor.”

Winners will be revealed by The Latin Recording Academy on November 14, and broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Univision from 8 – 11pm ET/PT.
