Broadcast Music, Inc. proudly applauds the nominees of this year’s Latin GRAMMY Awards, presented by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, in recognition of outstanding achievement in the music industry. The Latin GRAMMY Awards honor works recorded in Spanish and Portuguese and celebrates the artists’ unique contributions to Latin culture. The announcement is certainly well timed, as the nation celebrates Hispanic Heritage month from September 15–October 15.

In addition to their nominations, these BMI affiliates also carry the distinction of having their accolades shared through a rich transmedia experience. On Wednesday, September 24, 7 a.m. Eastern/4 a.m. Pacific, for the first time ever, nominations were revealed through online videos that featured Latin music fans around the world, participating in the announcement by naming their own favorites, with the social conversation continuing via the Twitter hashtag #LatinGRAMMY. 

Calle 13’s Rene Perez led the groundswell of BMI affiliate nominations, receiving nine nods, including Record of the Year for “Respira El Momento” and Album of the Year for MultiViral. Calle 13 also received two nominations in the Best Urban Song category for “Adentro” and “Cuando Los Pies Besan El Piso.” BMI President’s Award recipient Carlos Vives received six nominations, including two Record of the Year nominations for “Cuando Nos Volvamos A Encontrar” and “El Mar De Sus Ojos,” Album of the Year for Más + Corazón Profundo and Song of the Year for “Cuando Nos Volvamos A Encontrar.” Prince Royce is in the running with four nominations including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for his hit, “Darte Un Beso.” Reggaeton singer J. Balvin received three nominations, including Best Urban Music Album for La Famili, while his song, “6 a.m.” garnered two nods for Best Urban Performance and Best Urban Song. Latin music veteran and BMI special citation award recipient Santana received two nominations: Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album for the deluxe version of Corazón and Best Long-Form Music Video for “Corazón: Live from Mexico — Live It To Believe It.” BMI President’s Award honoree Juanes earned two nominations, Best Pop/Rock Album for Loco De Amor and Best Rock Song for “Mil Pedazos.” Two affiliates who celebrate the joy of life also received nods: Wisin’s “Que Viva La Vida” Don Omar’s “Pura Vida” were both nominated for Best Urban Performance. Yandel’s album, De Líder A Leyenda was also nominated for Best Urban Music Album. Latin MC Ana Tijoux received two nominations for her collaboration with Jorge Drexler, “Universos Paralelos,” for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while her work with André Célis for “Vengo” received a nomination for Best Urban Song.

 


The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences will also be honoring several BMI affiliates with exceptional careers, including Lifetime Achievement awardees Willy Chirino and Los Lobos. In addition, Juan Manuel Serrat Teresa (SGAE) was named Person of the Year, in recognition of his artistic and social accomplishments, as well as his contributions to Latin culture.

The 15th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday, November 20, airing in the U.S. on the Univision Network, 8–11 p.m. Eastern/5–8 p.m. Pacific.
