LUX by Rosalía is the album of the year: for the singer-songwriter it is the third of her career, also received for Motomami and El Mal Querer. Not only Rosalía, but also Milo J: at the 27th edition of the Latin Grammys the Argentine artist receives four awards, including Best Folk Music Album for La Vida Es Más Corta. An evening characterized by the reggaeton of Daddy Yankee, awarded Person of the Year and Laura Pausini's fifth Latin Grammy.
Rosalía's LUX shines at the Latin Grammys. When music meets vision, study, attention and curiosity, something special can only be created. Indeed: light can arrive. Or rather: LUX, Rosalía's album released on November 7, 2025 and which, since then, has never stopped. He continued to grow, be appreciated and recognized. Exactly as happened at the 27th edition of the Latin Grammys, where the Catalan artist received five overall awards for this album, which also include ad hoc awards for one of LUX's symbolic songs, namely La Perla. But it is the gramophone for Album of the Year that brings tears of joy and emotion to the artist's face. Yes, because receiving the statuette from Juanes for the third time in her career, after Motomami and El Mal Querer, Rosalía thanked the Colombian artist for his support from day zero: "You were always there, from the beginning. At my first concerts in Madrid, among those few people, you were there, listening to me. Thank you".
"LUX was a leap in the dark, but I put my vision into it." And, continuing her thanks to her collaborators and family, the Catalan artist recalled that LUX was a leap in the dark, but one that she has always believed in: "This album is mine, it has my vision. I told my truth. But I am sure that my best work is yet to come" concluded Miss Motomami. Who shortly before, receiving the Latin Grammy for Song of the Year, won by the song La Perla, smiled saying: If you have ever met a pearl in your life, this means that a diamond will arrive", among the sly smiles of the audience. La Perla, in fact, is a song that talks about a man who is not too faithful, who seems to have broken the artist's heart. Rumors suggest that it is an autobiographical story, and that Rosalía is therefore referring to her ex-boyfriend Rauw Alejandro, but nothing has ever been confirmed.
Milo J, from trap to folk music. As was Milo J, the Argentine singer-songwriter who brought home four gramophones from Las Vegas, including Recording of the Year for the song Niño and Best Folk Album won with the album La vida era más corta. “Coming from trap, winning a Latin Grammy for folk music is incredible, I could never have imagined it,” were the words spoken by the young singer-songwriter.
Karol G and Anitta win. A surprise and a joy, like that of Karol G and Anitta, who each received a Latin Grammy: the former for Best Urban Music Album for the third time, but on this occasion the recognition came for Tropicoqueta. Giving thanks for the gramophone, Carolina from Medellin recalled the importance of being united, all genres and countries of Latin America. An important thought, also discussed from another point of view by Anitta, winner of the first Latin Grammy of her career for Best Pop Album in Portuguese for Equilibrivm: “Brazil is part of the Latin countries, even if we don't speak Spanish. I wish we were all more united."
Bobby Pulido's retirement from music. Among the winners of the evening also CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Luis Enrique, Grupo Frontera, Camila Fernández and Bobby Pulido who, after receiving the recognition, announced his retirement: he was elected into politics. “I retire from music, but I do so with gratitude. I'm proud to be a Texan and to have represented my music for a long time, but now it's time to roll up our sleeves and make our voices heard, in another context."
Daddy Yankee, the king of reggaeton. Voice, that of Daddy Yankee, which on the evening of the Latin Grammys was very strong and very clear. The Big Boss of reggaeton, awarded by Janet Jackson as person of the year, after giving an exemplary performance with some of his main hits, addressed the audience telling his story, from Puerto Rico to the world: "They called us criminals because we played reggaeton. They made our cassettes illegal. We, however, didn't give up: we carried on without fear".
Laura Pausini wins her fifth Latin Grammy. Talent and passion are the air for Laura Pausini, winner of her fifth Latin Grammy, the first for the album Yo Canto 2: "What you see are tears of joy and sweat. I dedicate this award to the Spanish and Latin American songwriters who I pay homage to in every concert I do" said the artist in a video message sent to the Latin Recording Academy.
