After the scandalous annual Oscar Awards for Best in Cinema by the Academy of Arts and Sciences Cinematographic, this Sunday, April 3, the Grammys will celebrate the singers and composers who during the year caused a sensation with their songs. The prestigious event will bring together artists from all over the world and, of course, the Latino representation on stage and among the nominees could not be missed.

Among the categories considered for this 2022, there are some dedicated to recognizing Latin American talent. Such is the case of “Latin Pop Album”, where Spaniard Pablo Alborán (Vertigo), Guatemalan Ricardo Arjona (Made in the Old Way), Cuban Alex Cuba (Mendó), American Selena Gómez (Revelation) and Colombians Paula Arenas (Mis Amores) and Camilo (Mis Manos) will compete for the award.

It should be remembered that the protagonist of Only murders in the building was nominated in that category due to the success she has achieved with her Spanish-language album for about a year. So far, his video clips Baila Conmigo and De una Vez have been around 100 million views on YouTube.

Urban Music Album” is another category headed by Latin artists such as Rauw Alejandro (Aphrodisiac), Bad Bunny (The Last World Tour), J Balvin (Jose), Karol G (KG0615) and Kali Uchis (Of Love and Other Demons), the latter being American-Colombian. These great stars of the moment seek to achieve recognition after putting millions to dance with their rhythm.

Meanwhile, Stereo Bomb (Deja), Electric Diamond (Look what you made me do: Deluxe Edition), Nathy Peluso (Clambre), Juanes (Origin), C. Tangana (El Madrileno) and Zoé (Karmatic Resonance Sounds), are nominated for best “Latin or Alternative Rock Album” and both the famous groups and the successful soloists will try to be winners during the 64th awards gala.

For years many artists have found a space within the Mexican regional, to the degree of positioning it as a category within the Grammys. On this occasion, those who are considered the best “Mexican and Tejano Regional Album” are Aida Cuevas (Anthology of Rancherra Music Vol. 2), Christian Nodal (Ayayay: Super Deluxe), Natalia Lafourcade (A Song for Mexico Vol. 1), Mon Laferte (Six) and Vicente Fernandez (At my 80s).

El Charro de Huentitán died on December 12, 2021 after spending about 4 months hospitalized in Guadalajara, Jalisco, due to health problems resulting from a dramatic fall he suffered inside his Los Tres Potrillos ranch. If he was a posthumous winner, the Idol of Mexico would receive one more prize in the race.

The list also highlights Mon Laferte, the renowned singer-songwriter who left her native Chile to find a home in Mexico. After playing in public spaces, he found his great opportunity and from that moment on he has struggled to remain valid. Recently, the performer resumed her career after conceiving her first child named Joel.

Within the category “Tropical Album” are Rubén Blades and Robert Delgado &Orchestra nominees for Salswing, El Gran Combo of Puerto Rico for In Quarantine, Aymée Nuviola for Without Salsa no Paraíso, Gilberto Santa Rosa for Colleague and Tony Succar for Live I Peru.
