Bad Bunny, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, Karol G Among 2025 Latin Grammys Performers

Las Vegas will host the 26th Latin Grammy Awards on November 13, presenting a star-studded roster of performers. The evening will feature global superstar Bad Bunny, reggaeton powerhouse Karol G, and regional Mexican group Fuerza Regida. They will be joined by Argentine duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, newcomer Chuwi, and the celebrated Marco Antonio Solís. International sensation Maluma and actress-singer Roselyn Sánchez will co-host the ceremony, reinforcing its status as the premier event for recognizing excellence in Latin music.

Bad Bunny dominates this year’s nominations with an impressive 12, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year for his track "Debí Tirar Más Fotos." The album’s massive popularity led to a completely sold-out three-month residency in his native Puerto Rico, which concluded in September. Not far behind, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso earned 10 nominations, also contending in the same major categories. This strong showing from both established and emerging artists underscores a dynamic period of creativity across the Latin music landscape.

Karol G received three nominations, among them Record and Song of the Year, while Fuerza Regida is up for Best Regional Song. The performance lineup also includes previously announced acts such as Pepe Aguilar, Rauw Alejandro, and Gloria Estefan—the latter having played a pivotal role in popularizing Latin pop worldwide since the Miami Sound Machine era. A notable cross-genre duet between Mexican star Carín León and American country artist Kacey Musgraves highlights the growing trend of musical fusion. As music critic Dr. Isabel Mendez observed, “Such collaborations are increasingly common, driven by streaming platforms that encourage listeners to explore beyond traditional genre boundaries.”

Additional performers include Liniker, Morat, Christian Nodal, and the iconic norteño group Los Tigres del Norte, whose career spans more than five decades and includes dozens of albums addressing social and immigrant experiences. Completing the bill are Nathy Peluso, Elena Rose, Alejandro Sanz, Grupo Frontera, and legendary guitarist Carlos Santana. A special tribute will honor Raphael, named the 2025 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year in recognition of his six-decade influence on Spanish-language music.

TelevisaUnivision will produce the three-hour main ceremony, broadcasting it live across its U.S. networks beginning at 8 p.m. ET, with a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m. ET. In a related development, nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards will be revealed on November 7, initiating the next awards season. This scheduling ensures sustained attention on musical achievement, linking the Latin Grammys with the global Grammy process and emphasizing how both ceremonies increasingly reflect a borderless music industry.
