Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” Dominates Latin Grammys, Ceremony Celebrates Rediscovered Roots and Forward Momentum

Las Vegas, NV – Bad Bunny’s album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” was the big winner at the 26th annual Latin Grammys, taking home Album of the Year and four other awards. The album celebrates Puerto Rican roots and connects them to modern beats. However, in a surprising turn, Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” and Alejandro Sanz’s “Palmeras en el Jardín” won Song and Record of the Year, respectively, edging out two nominated songs from Bad Bunny’s winning album. Sanz jokingly apologized to Bad Bunny for the win.

The ceremony also highlighted a range of talent, with multiple awards going to Brazilian songwriter Liniker, Argentine pop group Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, and Mexican songwriter Natalia Lafourcade. Paloma Morphy from Mexico was named Best New Artist.

The Latin Grammys were punctuated by memorable performances. Karol G and Marco Antonio Solís debuted their duet, “Coleccionando Heridas.” Rauw Alejandro explored older sounds, connecting with Afro-Caribbean heritage. Despite technical difficulties, Carlos Santana delivered a powerful set. Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso’s surreal performance of songs from “Papota” and a segment highlighting “sad Sierreño” music also stood out. Liniker energized the crowd with a percussive performance, while Carín León delivered an ardent performance culminating in a country duet with Kacey Musgraves. Los Tigres del Norte closed out the show with a politically charged performance highlighting immigrant experiences, contrasting with an earlier ad from Homeland Security.

The awards show highlighted a theme of rediscovering cultural roots and embracing diverse musical styles, while also pointing to the challenges faced by Latino communities.
