Alejandro Sanz wins the Latin Grammy for best contemporary pop album for 'And now what+?'

This Thursday Alejandro Sanz won the Latin Grammy for best contemporary pop album for 'And now what+?' at the gala prior to the main awards ceremony given by the Latin Recording Academy.

The Spanish singer-songwriter beat Pablo Alborán, with 'KM0'; Monsieur Periné, with 'Instructions to be happy'; nic with '(Enamorada)', and Debi Nova, with 'Everything can become a song'. Sanz did not attend the event, which this year reaches its 27th edition and takes place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

'What now+?' is the expanded edition of 'And Now What?', a work that had already won this same award in 2025. The musician presented the album as part of a personal rebirth and artistic reinvention, after going through difficult times, including a breakup and changes in his professional career.

The Latin Recording Academy will host the 27th edition of the most prestigious awards in the Latin music industry in a gala that will feature big stars. The Spanish Rosalía, the Colombian Karol G and the Argentines Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso are among the favorites to win the most coveted awards.

Together with the Uruguayan Jorge Drexler, the four artists aspire to seven awards in a gala in which the Mexican producer and composer Edgar Barrera leads the list with ten nominations. Barrera is, along with the Puerto Rican Residente, the most awarded artist in the history of the Latin Grammys, with 29 golden gramophones each. In addition to Alejandro Sanz, Pablo Alborán and Rosalía, among the Spanish representation there are other established names such as Kase.O, Bad Gyal and Leiva.
