THE (POTENTIAL) 6 BIG LATIN GRAMMY RECORD BREAKERS

- —LEILA COBO

Over the course of the Latin Grammys’ 22-year history, the awards ceremony has become one of the hardest to predict. Case in point: Last year, two veteran acts with outlier projects — Rubén Blades with Roberto Delgado & Orquesta and Caetano Veloso — won album and record of the year, respective­ly, over global chart-toppers. With its bilingual scope (recordings must be at least 51% in Spanish or Portuguese) and vast, pan-regional reach that includes music released throughout Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the United States, nominees tend to be diverse, multigener­ational and multigenre. With Bad Bunny’s continued dominance, he and these five other artists could break records in the Big Four categories this year.
