For this blog post, I focused on some winners from the 2019 Latin Grammy awards that occurred on November 14 this year.
I start off with the remix of “Calma” by Pedro Capó and Farruko. This won best urban/fusion performance. I love the vibe of this song and Farruko’s flow punches the original up a notch. The original version also won song of the year. Definitely a song of the summer.
Also featured is a song by Best new artist winner Nella. As a Venezuelan she wants to be a voice of hope for her country as shown through songs like “Volveré a mi Tierra.” Her songs combine Venezuelan folk, contemporary Latin pop and flamenco. Her voice is distinctive and soulful.
Also featured on this playlist is flamenco trap superstar Rosalía who won album of the year and best contemporary pop album for El Mal Querer. Rosalía is a force and her songs are haunting, engaging, and unique.
Urban music artists were snubbed at this years Grammys as they were not nominated in any of the major categories. Bad Bunny whose album X 100Pre won Best urban music album accepted his award and alluded to all the other amazing urban artists who were left out this year.
I’ve included his song “Ni bien ni mal” from that album which is such an interesting and intriguing song. There are so many different musical choices made in this song especially at the end.
Happy listening!
