With nine nominations, producer and songwriter Edgar Barrera is the most nominated artist at the Latin Grammys this year. This is
his second year in a row

While winners in the top categories will receive their awards during the televised show, most winners have already received their gramophone-shaped trophies during the
Latin Grammy premiere event
that took place at the Miami Beach Convention Center Thursday afternoon.
Barrera already won three awards: songwriter of the year, best regional song and producer of the year.
“I can’t believe this one,” the prolific songwriter and producer, who is Mexican American, said after winning the third award. “Because all the producers with whom I am nominated are an inspiration for me.”
Spanish-Argentine singer Nathy Peluso, known for her powerhouse vocals and genre-bending music, also snagged three awards during the pre-show. Her song “El Día Que Perdí Mi Juventud” earned her an award for best alternative song, “Aprender A Amar” for best rap/hip hop song, and her album “Grasa” got her a win for best long-form music video.
“Art is about putting your heart and faith into it,” Peluso said while accepting the last award. “Thanks to music and ‘Grasa’ for bringing me so many blessings. It made me find myself and create something I am proud of.”
