Billboard’s Latin Editors Discuss Latin Grammy Nominations: What Went Right & What Needs Work

Jessica Roiz: I would say diverse. I noticed that in the “Big Four” there’s not only a variety of genres but also of generations. We have artists such as Caetano Veloso, Juan Luis Guerra, and Ricardo Montaner who have led long, prolific careers — and we also have Rauw Alejandro, C. Tangana, and Paula Arenas, who are paving the way for the new wave of music artists. Pamela Bustios: The list is varied, but overall, predictable. It lacks presence of world sounds and the amalgam of fusions that have bloomed in the last year such as electronic with Andean rhythms, electronica with Latin American folklore, psychedelic and electro-cumbia and indigenous sounds. Leila Cobo: Diverse, and yes, multi-generational and multi-cultural. That’s important because there are m...

Camilo on His 10 Latin Grammy Nominations: ‘The Job of Creatives Is to Un-Define Themselves’

You were on a flight to London when nominations were announced this morning. Tell me how you received the news? We were getting off the plane in London. And because we landed early, we had to take a bus to pick up our luggage because it was raining and there were tons of people and we were all screaming. The nominations started to come up on my phone as we went from the plane to the bus, from the bus to the luggage, from the luggage to the taxi. Finally, my wife [Evaluna Montaner] called me and said: ‘Love, you’re nominated for like 10 awards.’ I said, “What does ‘like 10’ mean exactly?” She said, “It means you have 10 nominations.” You’re up for awards in pop, urban and tropical categories, as well as album, song and record of the year. Which is most significant? They all pinp...
