Rosalía became the first solo female artist to win album of the year since Shakira in 2006. Metallica's Lars Ulrich surprised Juanes by presenting his person of the year award. And Bad Bunny took on the lack of reggaeton acts in major categories.
Latin urban acts may have felt the sting of neglect with not one reggaeton act receiving a nomination in the major categories for this year’s Latin Grammy Awards. But while two of music’s biggest stars, Daddy Yankee and J Balvin, stayed home as a form of protest, many of the genre’s globally recognized performers simply did what they know best: showcased their work for a worldwide audience live from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Moments later, Sanz also spoke to the media and simply said he felt elated that after all these years, he’s still a contender. “I feel like a thief,” the Spanish crooner said, referring to a career of constant wins. “Reggaeton is part of the culture,” the Puerto Rican rapper said. “We are going to keep working on this and let’s bring back the creativity and humanity. Let’s bring different things for the people.”
Backstage in the media center, the volume on the TV monitors was lowered for a separate interview, but the majority of the media objected and demanded that the TV remain at full volume. On stage, the patriarch and his brood stood together as an extended standing ovation continued before Martin approached Vicente to give him the presidential award, which is a special Latin Grammy recognition also given during the telecast to Mexican singer Thalia.
One of the biggest surprises of the night was the arrival of Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, who appeared onstage to give Juanes his person of the year tribute.mi amigo, mi parceroJuanes, taken aback by Ulrich’s arrival, made it clear that Metallica influenced him greatly and was one of the reasons he wanted to be a recording artist.
