Several are also nominees this year. Karol G is nominated across multiple categories, including album of the year for Tropicoqueta; Bad Gyal is up for best urban music album for Más Cara; and Luis Enrique, Grupo Niche and Nathy Peluso are nominated for best salsa album.

As announced in April, Daddy Yankee will be honored as the Latin Recording Academy’s person of the year.

Ennio Gatti, Colón’s former musical director and bandleader, will lead the original 13-member band for the tribute. Colón received The Latin Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004 and helped bring the Latin Grammys to New York in 2006.
