The Latin Grammys will happen in Miami this year, marking the Spanish-language awards show’s return to the United States just one year after it made a controversial move to Spain.
The 25th annual show will air live from the Kaseya Center on Nov. 14. Nominations will be announced on Sept. 17.
The 2023 iteration of the Latin Grammys was held in Sevilla, Spain as part of a multi-million dollar deal between the government of Andalusia and the Latin Recording Academy. This was the first time in the 23-year-long history of the Latin Grammys that the ceremony was held outside of the United States.
The show is known for its international reach — supporting Ibero-American artists and/or those who record in Spanish or Portuguese. However, the move to Spain was fairly unexpected, and largely critiqued, considering how many of the nominees come from the Americas.
“Since our first awards presentation in the year 2000, the Latin Grammys have provided an international spotlight for Latin music second to none and provided iconic performances that have become part of global music and pop culture history. We are thrilled to celebrate our 25th anniversary in Miami” said Manuel Abud, CEO, the Latin Recording Academy. “Miami has evolved to become the epicenter of Latin entertainment and we are grateful for the community support and enthusiasm we have received.”
This is the third time that the ceremony will be held in Miami, where the Latin Academy’s headquarters are based.
“We are excited to bring to life the landmark 25-year celebration of the Latin Grammys from the city we call home – the city where Hispanic culture has flourished as a driving force of influence and impact globally,” said Ignacio Meyer, President of Univision Television Networks Group at TelevisaUnivision. “As the Home of Latin Music, we’re excited to deliver yet another unforgettable night of excellence in music, grounded in our passion and unwavering commitment to shining a bright light on the most culture-defining moments for Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.”
