The Puerto Rican superstar won album of the year for his landmark release &ldquo;Deb&iacute; Tirar M&aacute;s Fotos.&rdquo; After thanking his family and all those who worked on the album, he ended his speech with &ldquo;Puerto Rico, I love you, thank you.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Those are powerful words honoring a record that doubles as a love letter for his island.<\/p>\n<p>The artist born Benito Antonio Mart&iacute;nez Ocasio was destined to dominate from the jump. He also won the first award of the night, for m&uacute;sica urbana album. Halfway through the show, the singer found himself back on stage accepting the m&uacute;sica urbana song trophy for &ldquo;DTmF.&rdquo; &ldquo;I never practice my speeches,&rdquo; he said in Spanish. And then he showed up for a third time: to perform &ldquo;Weltita&rdquo; with Chuwi.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn&rsquo;t the only one with reason to celebrate: Song of the year went to Karol G, Andr&eacute;s Jael Correa R&iacute;os and &Eacute;dgar Barrera for &ldquo;Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.&rdquo; And Alejandro Sanz took home record of the year for &ldquo;&iquest;Y Ahora Qu&eacute;?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Live from Sin City, the 26th annual Latin Grammys were both energetic and eclectic. Take Raphael, the 2025 Person of the Year, who launched into an emotive rendition of &ldquo;Qu&eacute; Sabe Nadie&rdquo; and &ldquo;Mi Gran Noche,&rdquo; inviting the crowd to sing along.<\/p>\n<p>That was after Santana kicked things off &mdash; specifically, Maluma singing Santana&rsquo;s 1970 hit &ldquo;Oye Como Va&rdquo; with the guitar legend himself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>It was just the beginning of a memorable medley, talents of today celebrating Santana &mdash; Christian Nodal joining in for &ldquo;Coraz&oacute;n Espinoza&rdquo; and Grupo Frontera for their 2025 collaboration with the virtuosic musician, &ldquo;Me Retiro.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Performances hit hard and fast: Aitana brought her dreamy electro-pop, Sanz delivered a medley of &ldquo;El Vino De Tu Boca&rdquo; and &ldquo;Las Guapas,&rdquo; Rauw Alejandro channeled Puerto Rico in Vegas with &ldquo;Kh&eacute;?,&rdquo; the bachata &ldquo;Silencio,&rdquo; &ldquo;Falsedad&rdquo; and &ldquo;Carita Linda.&rdquo; Then: Danny Lux, Kakalo and Ivan Cornejo brought contemporary Mexicana sounds.

Joaquina delivered a full-bodied &ldquo;Quise Quererte.&rdquo; Any aspiring artists watching would be wise to take a page out of the Brazilian singer Liniker&rsquo;s book; &ldquo;Negona Dos Olhos Terr&iacute;veis&rdquo; was one of the night&rsquo;s most joyful. The same, of course, should be said about norte&ntilde;o band Los Tigres del Norte.<\/p>\n<p>The coveted best new artist trophy was handed out to Paloma Morphy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Traditional tropical album went to Gloria Estefan for &ldquo;Ra&iacute;ces.&rdquo; Not long afterward, she hit the stage for &ldquo;La Vecina&rdquo; and &ldquo;Chirriqui Chirri,&rdquo; joined by Nathy Peluso for the latter.<\/p>\n<p>Then ranchero\/mariachi album went to Christian Nodal for &ldquo;&iquest;Qui&eacute;n + Como Yo?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Most of the evening&rsquo;s awards were handed out during a pre-televised Premiere Ceremony.
