Nominees for this year’s Latin Grammy Awards will be announced on September 17, ahead of the main event scheduled to take place in Miami on November 14.
The celebration will take place at the Kaseya Center, Miami in partnership with Miami-Dade County and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB). The first round will begin July 24 to August 5, 2024, the Recording Academy announced recently.
The show is returning to Miami, United States for the third time after last year’s edition went to Seville, Spain for the first time. The organizers justify the choice of Miama which it said has become “the epicentre of Latin entertainment.”
“Since our first awards presentation in the year 2000, the Latin Grammys have provided an international spotlight for Latin music second to none and provided iconic performances that have become part of global music and pop culture history.
“We are thrilled to celebrate our 25th anniversary in Miami…Miami has evolved to become the epicentre of Latin entertainment and we are grateful for the community support and enthusiasm we have received,” Manuel Abud, CEO, The Latin Recording Academy, said in a statement.

The Latin Grammy Awards will happen months after the main 66th Grammy Awards, which saw pop star, Taylor Swift taking home the ultimate prize, and the event which came off at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, United States.
Weeks ago, the Recording Academy celebrated the passage of a new bill in the New State Senate which favours musicians and key players in the creative industry.
The bill known as ‘S.1738’ and passed on March 27, 2024, is said to be a step towards protecting “musicians’ creative expression”.
The legislation stipulates that a defendant’s artistic works, such as song lyrics, cannot be used as evidence against them in a criminal trial unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that these expressions are “admissible.”
