Rosalía emerged as the definitive force at the 27th annual Latin Grammy Awards, held Thursday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The Spanish superstar secured six total awards, including the night’s top honors for Album of the Year for LUX (complete works) and Song of the Year for “La Perla,” which features Yahritza y su esencia.
The ceremony, hosted by Roselyn Sánchez, also saw significant recognition for emerging artist Milo J, who collected four awards, including the coveted Record of the Year for “Nos encontramos.”
While Rosalía and Milo J dominated the major categories, the event celebrated a broad spectrum of Latin music, with producer Edgar Barrera—who led the field with 10 nominations—receiving the award for Producer of the Year, according to BBC News Mundo.

“Para todos los que me dijeron que no valía o que mi música es demasiado rara, gracias porque ahora he ganado este premio,” she said.
In addition to the honorary recognition, Vogue Mexico said that Daddy Yankee also secured the Latin Grammy for Best Urban Song for his contribution to “Daddy Yankee: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66.”
Other notable winners included Aria Vega, who was named Best New Artist, and Juanes, who took home the award for Best Pop/Rock Album for Juanesteban.
The event, which RPP Noticias reported as a celebration of the best in the industry, also highlighted diverse genres, with Marcos Witt, Marco Barrientos, and Marcos Vidal winning Best Christian Album in Spanish for Eterno, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba taking the prize for Best Latin Jazz/Jazz Album.
Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Grammys, emphasized the organization’s current stance on the integration of artificial intelligence in music, stating, “La inteligencia artificial no tiene alma.” It remains to be seen how the academy will navigate the evolving influence of AI in future award cycles.
