The 2026 Latin Grammy Awards brought together some of the biggest names in Latin music for a night celebrating the sounds, stories and artists shaping the global music landscape. Presented Thursday (Nov. 12) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the 27th annual ceremony featured a star-studded lineup spanning reggaetón, música mexicana, salsa, pop, rock and beyond, with performances that showcased the genre’s ever-expanding reach.
Hosted by Roselyn Sánchez, the three-hour telecast welcomed a mix of established icons and rising stars, including Karol G, Rosalía, Daddy Yankee, Juanes, Carín León, Anitta, Feid, Milo J, Mon Laferte, Bad Gyal and Nathy Peluso, among many others. The evening also paid tribute to two towering figures in Latin music: the late salsa legend Willie Colón, whose groundbreaking contributions helped define the New York salsa movement, and the late Mexican songwriting icon José Alfredo Jiménez, honored in celebration of the centennial of his birth.
Beyond the marquee names, the award ceremony reflected the breadth of contemporary Latin music, bringing together artists from across generations, countries and musical traditions. From the enduring influence of tropical rhythms to the continued evolution of urbano and the international rise of música mexicana, the lineup offered a snapshot of a musical landscape that continues to defy expectations.
