Latin Grammys 2023: Winners list and top moments from Spain

It was a big night for female artists at the 24th Latin Grammys ceremony — the first held outside the U.S.

“Bienvenidos a España, bienvenidos a Sevilla!” actor and presenter Antonio Banderas said in his opening speech, as he welcomed the audience to Spain.

Shakira, who took home awards for song of the year, best urban/fusion performance and best pop song for her collaborations with Argentinian DJ and record producer Bizarrap and fellow Colombian Karol G — incorporated her two young sons into her first performance of “Acróstico.” The Colombian superstar later returned to the stage for a medley of her hits including “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” accompanied by her signature dance moves.

“I want to dedicate this award to my sons ... because I promised them that I would be happy,” Shakira said while accepting the award for song of the year.

Karol G won two coveted awards: best album of the year and best urban music album for “Mañana será bonito.” Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade took home record of the year for "De Todas Las Flores."

Viewers were watching closely for the top four categories: record of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best new artist. Nominees in those categories included Shakira, Peso Pluma, GALE, Maluma and Alejandro Sanz, who performed at the event. Other nominees in those top categories included Christina Aguilera, Bad Bunny, Natalia Lafourcade, Karol G, Juanes, Carlos Vives and Marc Anthony.

The person with the most nominations this year was producer Édgar Barrera, who received 13 nominations and won for composer of the year, producer of the year and best regional Mexican song for “un X100to,” a collaboration with Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny and the Mexican American Grupo Frontera.

The Latin Recording Academy also honored Laura Pausini with the Person of the Year award, which was presented by Karol G.

Pausini, a multilingual Italian artist who has performed extensively in Spanish, won a Grammy for best Latin pop album in 2006 and a Golden Globe in 2021, and she has been nominated for an Academy Award.

"I'm the most Latina Italian in the entire damn world," Pausini joked during her acceptance speech.

Nominees and presenters from Spain made displays of their country’s heritage a central point of the show, broadcast from across the Atlantic for the first time.

Rosalía opened the show with a haunting cover, “Se Nos Rompió El Amor,” by the late Spanish icon Rocío Jurado. Banderas gave a speech honoring Spanish artists across genres, including Pablo Picasso, Diego Velázquez, poet Federico García Lorca and flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía. Alejandro Sanz later filled the stage with dozens of flamenco dancers as he sang his 1997 hit “Corazón Partío.”
