BMI Congratulates its 2022 Latin GRAMMY Winners

Posted in News on November 18, 2022

BMI is once again very proud of its Latin affiliates whose groundbreaking music was recognized at last night’s 23rd annual Latin GRAMMY Awards in Las Vegas at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The ceremony was co-hosted by three dynamic BMI songwriters, Anitta, Luis Fonsi and Thalia, and it was an amazing night of song and celebration.

Cutting-edge flamenco-pop singer Rosalía was BMI’s biggest winner of the evening, taking home four prestigious trophies for Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album,  Best Recording Package and Best Engineered Album. Adding to her triumph, Rosalía is now the first woman in Latin GRAMMY history to win the Album of the Year award two years in a row. Another notable win was Silvana Estrada, who took the coveted Best New Artist award.

Beyond the accolades, the show featured a riveting performance by Karol G, who played high-energy renditions of three of her biggest hits, “Gatúbela,” “Provenza” and “Cairo” with Ovy on drums. Rosalia treated the crowd to “Hentai” and “La Fama,” Rauw Alejandro played “Desesperados,” “Lejos Del Cielo,” and “Punto 40,” and Christina Aguilera gave powerful performance of “Cuando Me Dé la Gana.” Best New Artist winner Estrada performed a stirring cover of “Al Otro Lado Del Río” by Jorge Dexler.  Anitta took a quick break from hosting to perform a medley of hits that included her signature single, “Envolver” followed by Brazilian medley of “Movimiento de Sanfoniha, “ Rave de Favela,” “ La Mama de La Mama” and “Vai Malandra.”  The crowd also enjoyed a live rendition of John Legend and Sebastián Yatra* song “Tacones Rojos.”

Below is the full list of BMI winners. Congratulations to all!
