09.28.2021 | By |

The Latin Grammys nominations are out with Colombian pop singer Camilo coming out on top with 10 nominations. Bachata icon Juan Luis Guerra came in with 6 nominations, and Bad Bunny with 4. This award ceremony will be an interesting one to watch as it comes on the heels of 2020 which saw the music industry almost collapse. Artists on our podcast confessed how the experience made them appreciate playing live in front of a crowd more than ever. People had more time to listen to all types of music. Did listener’s tastes change during 2020? Is ballad pop making a comeback? Much to look forward to on the award show. In the meantime, read the complete nomination list below. Read More
