ALBUM OF THE YEAR

La Cu4rta Hoja

Pablo Alborán

In a marked departure from the brooding love songs that precipitated Pablo Alborán’s ascent, in La Cua4rta Hoja, his sixth studio album, the Spaniard delivers mostly feel-good bops and pop ballads that seem to confirm that he is living his best life. The 24-time Latin GRAMMY and three-time GRAMMY nominee broadens his flamenco pop palette, incorporating Mexican regional music and Latin urban, while exploring themes that celebrate his journey of self-discovery, unconditional friends and the power of love. Alborán benefits from several genre-spanning collaborations — reggaeton y flamenco on “Amigos,” with María Becerra, Mexican regional music with Carin León on “Viaje a Ningún Lado,” and hybrid ballads like “Ave de Paso,” with fellow Spanish songstress Ana Mena. Undoubtedly, La Cua4rta Hoja’s sonic bright spots brim with post-pandemic optimism. (Lissette Corsa)

A Ciegas

Paula Arenas

Paula Arenas’ sophomore album A Ciegas is a heartfelt proclamation to living life to the fullest and a beautiful showcase of her powerhouse voice. She dedicated it to her husband and young son, calling it music that she hopes inspires listeners to keep fighting for their dreams. “It’s an invitation for you to find yourself again, to remember who you are and to be loyal to yourself, to your love,” Arenas said in an interview. Amidst the vocal-driven ballads, the middle of the album o!ers a tempo shift: Best Pop Song-nominated “Déjame Llorarte” is a duet with Jesús Navarro of Reik about longing for a love that never was, “Árboles” is an upbeat synth-pop anthem, and “Puro Sentimiento” is a groovy, honey-drenched love song with fellow Colombian Manuel Medrano.

De Adentro Pa Afuera

Camilo

Camilo is pushing the limits of Latin pop with his third studio album De Adentro Pa Afuera. Across 11 tracks, the Colombian singer/songwriter explores and expands the sounds of various genres. Camilo crafts a reggaeton heartbreak anthem “Bebiendo Sola,” featuring Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers. In the racy “Ambulancia,” Camilo embraces elements of bachata music with Cuban pop star Camila Cabello. He continues to display his enthusiasm for regional Mexican music in the banda-infused song “Alaska” alongside Grupo Firme. Camilo also teams up with Spanish icon Alejandro Sanz for the dreamy duet “NASA.” The record wraps up masterfully with “Índigo”, a duet with Evaluna Montaner dedicated to their first-born daughter. (Lucas Villa)

Décimo Cuarto

Andrés Cepeda

Décimo Cuarto is an album with a romantic flair in which the Colombian troubadour Andrés Cepeda delivers themes that range from sentiments of unbridled passion to disappointment and heartache. The record had the technical support of a team of renowned hitmakers — like Andrés Torres, Mauricio Rengifo, George Noriega and Gio Fernández — and incorporates with equal ease romantic ballads and the bambuco, so the reflective tone does not prevent the body from swinging to the dembow of “Le Viene Bien,” featuring vocalist Greeicy Rendón. The single “Lo Que Se Va,” in collaboration with Mexican songstress Ximena Sariñana, matched this LP’s rapid climb in the charts, and the multitalented Cepeda acts as composer, producer and instrumentalist throughout. (Néstor Díaz de Villegas)

Vida Cotidiana

Juanes

Vida Cotidiana reflects, as Juanes has said, a “return home.” But this time, the 11 tracks are enriched by fresh harmonies, poetry and singing techniques Juanes has not previously employed. With 24 Latin GRAMMYs under his belt, the Colombian singer/songwriter analyzes life’s daily ups and downs with loved ones and in his country. “Canción Desaparecida” o!ers in its lyrics, harmony and arrangement a level of visceral pain for the all-too-common violence in his home country. Juanes’ electric guitar makes a resurgence, though mixed with acoustic as well as strings, adding heft to his message. “Cecilia,” is about the love between two people on which Juanes pairs with the great Juan Luis Guerra, and together they offer much more than the sum of two great voices and styles. (Ana Santiago)

Mañana Será Bonito

Karol G

After becoming one of pop music’s most reliable hitmakers during the last decade, Mañana Será Bonito is the sound of her ascension to global superstardom. Focusing inward for inspiration, the Colombian singer/songwriter has produced an album exuding the cleverness and charm that have been staples of her career thus far. True to its title, everything about Mañana Será Bonito, from the cover art to its opening interpolation of Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” conveys positivity and warmth. And while the album is packed with renowned guest spots from the likes of Shakira, Romeo Santos and Carla Morrison, this undoubtedly remains the Karol G show: cool and adventurous but with enough bite to always keep the listener on their toes. (Andrew Casillas)

De Todas Las Flores

Natalia Lafourcade

Natalia Lafourcade’s De Todas Las Flores is a profound musical journey that unfolds like a sequence of life’s moments. Recorded live on analog tape, her 10th studio album marks her return to original material since 2015’s Latin GRAMMY winning Hasta La Raíz. From the classical strings of “Vine Solita” to the jazzy playfulness of the title track and the poetic prowess displayed on “El Lugar Correcto” — about letting go of the past and finding fulfillment in the now — each song is a revelation. “Muerte” is a triumphant anthem of overcoming existential anxieties, while the tender lullaby “Que Te Vaya Bonito Nicolas” provides a soothing conclusion. Co-produced by Lafourcade and Adán Jodorowsky, the Mexican singer/songwriter’s latest release is a sophisticated tapestry of vulnerability, femininity, nature, mysticism and love. (Isabela Raygoza)

Play

Ricky Martin

Play comes two years after Pausa, the EP that won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 21st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. Ricky Martin, an emblematic figure of the urban repertoire, a balladist with an ear tuned to “street poetry,” moves with ease between bomba and worldbeat. Play is the sequel to Pausa, which was released during the pandemic, and serves as a perfect complement to the raw energy of its predecessor. There are tracks on Play with strong autobiographical content such as “Reina de Corazones” and “Otra Noche en L.A.,” written in collaboration with Colombian songwriter Kevyn Cruz Moreno. The latest record from the Puerto Rican icon vibrates with a mix of playful fantasies and bitter truths, unveiling an artist who alternates between showing off and concealing himself in another of his masterstrokes. (Néstor Díaz de Villegas)

EADDA9223

Fito Páez

On EADDA9223, celebrated Argentinian rocker Fito Páez revisits his iconic 1992 album El Amor Después Del Amor. With this new musical production, the 11-time Latin GRAMMY and one-time GRAMMY winner radically reimagines the classic tracks with a diverse and star-studded group of collaborators including Nathy Peluso, Elvis Costello, Mon Laferte and Ángela Aguilar. “Sasha, Sissi y el Círculo de Baba” becomes a sultry bolero enhanced by Mon Laferte’s piercing voice, “La Balada de Donna Helena” goes punk with fiery bars from WOS and CA7RIEL, and “Detrás del Muro de los Lamentos” is transformed into a powerful flamenco/tango with Spanish flamenco greats Estrella Morente and Antonio Carmona. (Ana Monroy Yglesias)

Escalona Nunca Se Había Grabado Así

Carlos Vives

On Carlos Vives’ heartfelt homage to the legendary Colombian composer Rafael Escalona, the vallenato revivalist breathes new life into Escalona’s classics. Comprising 13 tracks, the album journeys through the soul of the Caribbean coast, combining vallenato rhythms with a dash of pop-rock sensibility. “La Historia” stands out as a melancholic gem, and “El Carro Ford” takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through the Colombian countryside. Song title aside, “Mala Suerte” is a joyful celebration of life, with accordion riffs courtesy of Egidio Cuadrado; and “Contestación A La Brasilera” is a touching tribute to Vives’ father that bridges past and present. The Santa Marta native both successfully reimagines the brilliant work of the late composer and preserves the beauty of his own musical heritage reinvented for a new era. (Isabela Raygoza)

Six talented music institutions, nonprofit organizations, musicologists and researchers will receive a total of $30,000 for research and preservation of Latin music

Latin GRAMMY® winner and GRAMMY® nominee Silvestre Dangond sponsored two grants in support of research and preservation of the vallenato genre

MIAMI (DECEMBER 9, 2025) — The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® announced the winners of its 2025 Latin Music Research and Preservation Grant Program. This year, the Foundation awarded a total of $30,000 across six grants to support projects dedicated to researching and preserving Latin music. Two of the awarded research and preservation grants were dedicated to the continued growth and development of vallenato, pledged by Latin GRAMMY® winner and GRAMMY® nominee Silvestre Dangond.

“Research and preservation allow us to keep the heartbeat of Latin music alive by protecting its stories, rhythms and cultural roots for future generations,” said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. “We are honored to champion these remarkable projects and grateful to Silvestre Dangond for his commitment to preserving the legacy of the vallenato genre and ensuring the future of Latin music.”

“Vallenato gave me a voice, a purpose and a connection to the world,” said Dangond. “Supporting projects that study and preserve its history is a great responsibility that I carry with pride. If we want this music to continue touching hearts, we must protect the legacy of those who created it.”

Awarded Preservation Grants:

Julia Sánchez, Peru – Conservación y Preservación del Patrimonio Musical del Maestro Cantautor Ernesto Sánchez Fajardo “El Jilguero del Huascarán” (Conservation and Preservation of the Musical Heritage of Singer/Songwriter Ernesto Sánchez Fajardo “El Jilguero del Huascarán”). Julia Sánchez, researcher and cultural manager at the Universidad Nacional de Folklore “José María Arguedas,” leads a project dedicated to preserving and restoring the phonographic archive of Ernesto Sánchez Fajardo, “El Jilguero del Huascarán,” a pioneering Andean artist and symbol of Peru’s 20th-century migration. The initiative aims to restore and digitize 159 rare 78-RPM and vinyl recordings that document four decades of Huayno’s evolution as a form of cultural resilience. The project will produce a complete technical inventory, restored and digitized audio files in high-resolution WAV format, and three documentary podcasts for public and academic dissemination.

Miviam Ruiz Pérez, Mexico – Preservación y Diseminación de la Obra Inédita de Carlo Borbolla (1902-1990): Archivo Vivo de la Música Caribeña (Preservation and Dissemination of the Unpublished Works of Carlo Borbolla (1902–1990): Living Archive of Caribbean Music).

This project aims to preserve and diffuse the unpublished works of Cuban musicologist Carlo Borbolla Téllez, whose extensive personal archive includes compositions, writings and autobiographical documents largely unknown to the public. Led by Dr. Miviam Ruiz Pérez, the initiative will establish an open-access digital repository to promote Borbolla’s legacy across research, performance, and music education in Latin America. Through this effort, the project not only revives Borbolla’s contributions but also deepens the understanding of the musical and cultural roots that connect genres such as jazz and salsa to their Caribbean origins.

Awarded Research Grants:

Luis Alvarado, Peru – La Evolución de la Pandilla Selvática (The Evolution of the Pandilla Selvática). Luis Alvarado’s research explores the evolution of the pandilla selvática, a defining genre of Peruvian Amazonian popular music. The project traces how its transformation — through the incorporation of the electric guitar into cumbia amazónica — forged a unique regional identity. It also examines how the genre continues to thrive in contemporary jazz and experimental electronic scenes, illustrating its ongoing relevance within Peru’s dynamic musical landscape.

Dr. Romy Martínez, Netherlands – Guaranía in Translation: From Paraguay to Europe Through Music and Language. This project celebrates the centenary of Paraguay’s musical genre Guaranía, created in 1925 by José Asunción Flores, and recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2024. Dr. Romy Martínez seeks to preserve and disseminate the genre internationally through concerts, research and intercultural collaboration across Northern Europe. By engaging new audiences in multilingual and multicultural settings, the initiative ensures that the Guaranía genre remains a living tradition. It bridges cultures while honoring Paraguay’s musical legacy.

Awarded Vallenato Preservation Grant:

Jhojam Rincón, Colombia – Tiempos Idos - Apología a la Amistad (Times Gone By: An Apology to Friendship). Jhojam Rincón’s preservation initiative aims to safeguard an extraordinary sound archive that captures spontaneous parrandas vallenatas recorded between 1974 and 1985, featuring legends such as Leandro Díaz, Rafael Escalona, and the Zuleta brothers. Compiled by collector Juan de Jesús Celedón, the 120 analog cassettes contain unreleased performances, improvisations and verses that mark the golden era of Colombian vallenato. Through professional digitization and secure archiving, the project preserves this invaluable musical record for future generations.

Awarded Vallenato Research Grant:

Ángela Marín Niebles, Colombia – Mujeres en el Vallenato: Una Historia Por Contar (Women in Vallenato: A Story Yet to Be Told). Dr. Ángela Martín Niebles leads a multidisciplinary study to document and celebrate the pioneering women of vallenato music in the early 20th century. Through historical, anthropological and musicological research, the project reconstructs the lives and contributions of female composers and performers who have long been overlooked in a male-dominated genre. By producing accessible multimedia materials, the project strengthens Colombia’s cultural memory and promotes gender equity in the nation’s musical heritage.

A committee of experts from Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula and the United States selected the winners among numerous qualified candidates. Since its inception in 2015, the program has awarded more than $285,000 in grants to support projects, including one that has received a Latin GRAMMY and a GRAMMY.

MIAMI (NOVEMBER 12, 2025) — The Latin Recording Academy® celebrated its 2025 Person of the Year Gala honoring Raphael, with moving renditions of some of the singer’s renowned repertoire, featuring past and current Latin GRAMMY® nominees including Aitana, Pepe Aguilar, Susana Baca, David Bisbal, Enrique Bunbury, Willy Chirino, Ivan Cornejo, Kany García, Myriam Hernández, Eddy Herrera, Jesse & Joy, Carín León, Pablo López, Víctor Manuelle, Vanesa Martín, Víctor Martínez, Mestrinho, Gaby Moreno, Kiki Morente, Café Quijano, Fito Páez, Silvia Pérez Cruz, Carlos Rivera, Elena Rose, Rozalén, Ángeles Toledano and Néstor Torres.

Raphael was honored for his more than six-decade career as a multifaceted singer and performer, which has established him as a true ambassador of Latin music worldwide. The evening featured tributes from artists who have shaped his repertoire, alongside others who came to honor his lasting impact and celebrate his remarkable career.

The evening opened on a high note with a breathtaking performance by Enrique Bunbury of “Yo Soy Aquél” and was then joined by Carín León, electrifying the stage together with a medley of “Toca Madera” and “Ahora”— the latter a song Bunbury himself wrote for Raphael. Café Quijano and Gaby Moreno followed with a bolero-infused rendition of “Qué Tal Te Va Sin Mí”. David Bisbal raised the energy with a duet alongside Elena Rose on “En Carne Viva,” and then captivated the audience with a heartfelt homage performance of “Como Yo Te Amo.” Jesse & Joy joined Ivan Cornejo for an emotive tribute to “Cierro Mis Ojos.”

Pablo López kept the momentum alive with a passionate delivery of “De Tanta Gente,” followed by his intimate piano rendition of “Lo Saben Mis Zapatos.” Aitana later joined López for a moving performance of “Si No Estuvieras Tú.” Latin rock icon Fito Páez and Rozalén delivered a stirring version of “La Carta,” while Susana Baca and Rozalén offered a folkloric interpretation of “Chabuca, Limeña.” Kiki Morente, Ángeles Toledano and Víctor Martínez on the guitar offered a passionate rendition of “Digan Lo Que Digan,” fusing flamenco textures and thundering Latin percussion. Vanesa Martín and Kany García shared the stage for “Cada Septiembre,” featuring García’s debut solo cello performance, and Martín later returned with Carlos Rivera for an intimate acoustic take on “A Que No Te Vas.”

The magic continued as Pepe Aguilar and Myriam Hernández united their powerhouse vocals in a sweeping version of “Procuro Olvidarte.” Spanish songstress Silvia Pérez Cruz offered a mesmerizing “Somos” with Brazilian accordion virtuoso Mestrinho, weaving Iberian and tropical tones into one. The celebration reached its peak as Eddy Herrera, Víctor Manuelle, Néstor Torres, and Willy Chirino — who wrote the song for Raphael — took the stage with all the infectious rhythms of the Caribbean, filling the room with “Escándalo.”

The evening wouldn’t be complete without the 2025 Person of the Year stepping on stage; he wowed the audience with a medley of “Que Sabe Nadie,” “Mi Gran Noche,” and “Como Yo Te Amo.”

The highly anticipated gala preceded the 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®, which will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 13. The three-hour telecast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the world, airing across TelevisaUnivision’s U.S. platforms, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central), preceded by a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m. ET/PT (6 p.m. Central).

Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY® winner Carlos Fernando López served as musical director, and the musical production was led by Danny Flores, also a Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY nominee.
