Reggaetón, extended under-represented or entirely ignored from the principal types of this Latin Grammys, appears to finally be visiting its own day of reckoning, together with three reggaetón celebrities — J Balvin, Poor Bunny along with Ozuna — top the list of nominations.
Balvin’s 13 nods for its 21st annual Latin Grammys, making him the direct nominee, signify a genre in which collaborations thrive. He’s nominated twice in listing of this year (because of his solo trail”Rojo” and a featured artist on Anuel’s“China”); double in record of this year and greatest metropolitan record (because of his Colores and also for Oasis, his combined album with Poor Bunny); and double in greatest reggaetón functionality (because of his”Morado” and also for”Loco contigo” together with DJ Snake, including Tyga).
Poor Bunny, who follows {} of nominations with eight, {} double nods from the record of the year and greatest metropolitan album groups (because of his YHLQMDLG and also for Oasis together with Balvin) and at greatest metropolitan combat functionality (such as”Cántalo” along with Ricky Martin and Residente, along with”Hablamos Mañana” together with Duki along with Pablo Chill-E).
And Ozuna{} for eight awards, is nominated twice at the newest best reggaetón performance class (because of his solo”Te soñé de nuevo” and”Si te vas” alongside Sech) and at greatest metropolitan fusion/performance, for collabs using Rosalía (“Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi”) and also Anuel (“China”).
In terms of Anuel, that last year criticized the Latin Grammys after being closed out of their nominations, now is up for seven awards, such as best urban music record because of his soul-baring Emmanuel.
Reggaetón and urban songs permeated the nominations total. Besides benefitting two new classes (greatest reggaetón functionality and greatest rap/hip-hop tune ) the genre dominated from the {} alt-oriented best new artist category. This season, the record of 10 functions is directed by Anuel, and includes renowned contenders such as Rauw Alejandro, Mike Bahía, Nicki Nicole and Cazzu.
Besides extending an olive branch of fame into reggaetón and urban songs general, the Latin Grammys acquired a lot in this type of nominations.
Past the celebrity reggaetón functions, powerful pop listeners such as Kany García, along with climbing pop/fusion celebrity Camilo — that appears to be refining the craft of tactical yet musical cooperation — are notable nominees together with five and six rebounds, respectively.
García’s beautiful duets record, Mesa Para Dos, is up for record of this year while her only”Lo que en ti veo” together with Nahuel Pennisi is nominated for song and record of this year.
On his conclusion, Camilo, that last year got missed at the finest new album group, is up this time for record of the year to get Por Primera Vez, listing of this year to get”Tutu” including Pedro Capó; and tune of the year to get”Tutu” and”El mismo aire.” Additionally around for six awards is Carlos Vives, whose beautiful Cumbiana is up for record of this year while the only”For Sale” featuring Alejandro Sanz is nominated within listing of this year.
While reggaetón isn’t represented at the all-important manufacturer of the year class, it is not possible to find fault with all the titles there: Rafa Arcaute (Nathy Peluso, Draco Rosa); Eduardo Cabra”Visitante” (Cuarteto de Nos, Sotomayor); Pablo Díaz-Reixa”El Guincho” (Rosalía, Paloma Mami); George Noriega (Ednita Nazario, Yuridia); and also the creation duo of Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo (Luis Fonsi, Andrés Cepeda, Sebastián Yatra).
