It is the biggest night of the year for Spanish- and Portuguese-language music, and the Latin Recording Academy fills the week before it with events across the city.

The name of this year’s race is Edgar Barrera. The Mexican songwriter-producer, a fixture in the credits of Latin pop’s biggest stars, has 10 nominations, including Record, Album and Song of the Year. Behind him is a pack on seven: Karol G, Rosalía, Jorge Drexler and Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, with Silvana Estrada and Mon Laferte on six. In Album of the Year, Rosalía’s LUX (Complete Works), Karol G’s Tropicoqueta and Drexler’s Taracá face records by Anitta, Carín León, Milo J, Rawayana, Mon Laferte, Silvana Estrada and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso.

On the eve of the show, Wednesday, November 11, the Academy honors Daddy Yankee as Person of the Year, the first time the award goes to a reggaeton artist, the genre he helped take worldwide with “Gasolina”. He is also announced as a performer at the ceremony, alongside Carín León, Anitta and Silvana Estrada, with Roselyn Sánchez hosting.

Nominations were announced on September 16 and cover releases from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026; final voting closed on October 12.
