Thania Garcia The 25th annual Latin Grammy ceremony is shaping up to be an all-star reunion: songwriter-producer Edgar Barrera is the leading nominee (again), with nine, followed by Bad Bunny and Karol G with eight each.
Juan Luis Guerra follows with five nominations while Feid, Kany García, Carin Leon and Kali Uchis boast four. Other key nominees include Ángela Aguilar, Camilo, Xande de Pilares, Mon Laferte, Residente and Shakira, all of whom are up against Karol, García, Guerra and León for album of the year.
There’s overlap in the record of the year category — Camilo and Carín León share a nomination (“Una Vida Pasada”), as do Uchis and Peso Pluma (“Igual Que Un Ángel”) — in a tight race with Anitta, Bad Bunny, Cimafunk and Monsieur Periné, Fonseca and Grupo Niche, along with Jorge Drexler, Guerra and Laferte.
Along with being the most nominated act for two years in a row, Barrera is nominated as both songwriter and producer of the year for a second consecutive time.
