For the First Time in History, The 24th Annual Grammy Awards Will Be Held in Spain
The Latin Recording Academy announced today that, for the first time in the history of the organization, the 24th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be held at the Conference and Exhibition Centre (FIBES), in Sevilla, Spain.
The announcement also marks the official start of a three-year partnership between The Latin Recording Academy and the Junta de Andalucía, who will sponsor the 24th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, Latin GRAMMY Week, as well as several Latin Academy events in the community.
In addition, Sevilla joins the celebration as host city for all the events during this year’s Latin GRAMMY Week, which will precede the Latin GRAMMY telecast.
This year’s Latin GRAMMY Week includes the Person of the Year Gala, the Special Awards Presentation, the Leading Ladies of Entertainment luncheon, the Best New Artist showcase—which recognizes the nominees in that category—and a nominee reception, among others.
The Latin GRAMMY telecast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision in collaboration with Radio Televisión Española (RTVE).
“It is an honor to celebrate our Latin GRAMMY Week in Sevilla and commit to our mission of elevating Latin music and its creators around the world. We are confident that it will be a memorable celebration,” Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, said.
“We are thrilled to produce the Latin GRAMMYs for the first time this year in Spain, and in a new partnership with the prestigious RTVE,” Ignacio Meyer, President of U.S. Networks at TelevisaUnivision, said. “This is an extraordinary moment for Latin music globally and we are confident that this partnership with RTVE, and the passion and energy that Univision brings to the show, will make history and deliver an unforgettable experience for audiences who love and enjoy music all around the world.”
The Latin GRAMMY Awards are the preeminent international honor and the only peer-selected award celebrating excellence in Latin music worldwide. Nominees for the 24th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will be announced on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2023.
