Rosalía was the big winner at the 27th Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday, Nov. 12, in Las Vegas, taking album of the year for Lux, according to Billboard and Deadline. It is her third win in that category, after El Mal Querer and Motomami. Argentine newcomer Milo J took record of the year for "Niño," and Colombian singer Aria Vega won best new artist.

## Who won the major Latin Grammys in 2026?

Here are the four biggest categories, as listed by Billboard and Deadline:

- **Album of the year:** Lux (Complete Works), Rosalía
- **Record of the year:** "Niño," Milo J
- **Song of the year:** "La Perla," Rosalía featuring Yahritza y Su Esencia, credited to Noah Goldstein, David Rodríguez, Rosalía, Ryan Tedder and Dylan Wiggins
- **Best new artist:** Aria Vega

Rosalía also won best pop song for "La Perla," best alternative music album for Lux, and best short form music video for "Sauvignon Blanc," per Deadline. Billboard adds that Lux picked up a recording engineering award too.

## Who else won big?

Milo J, who is 19, earned six nominations and won four awards, according to Billboard. Besides record of the year, he took best folk album for La Vida Era Más Corta, best urban/fusion performance for "Gil" with Trueno, and best recording package. Billboard quotes him saying that winning a folk award "just blows my mind," coming from trap.

Karol G won best urban music album for Tropicoqueta, her third win in that category, and best reggaeton performance for "Verano Rosa" with Feid. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso won best Latin electronic music performance and best pop/rock song, the latter for "Hasta Jesús Tuvo Un Mal Día" with Sting. Anitta won her first Latin Grammy after 12 nominations, Billboard reports, for best Portuguese language contemporary pop album.

Daddy Yankee, the Latin Recording Academy's 2026 Person of the Year, won best urban song with Bizarrap for "Daddy Yankee: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66." Laura Pausini, Alejandro Sanz, Juanes and Fito Páez won their pop and rock album categories, per Deadline. Venezuelan songwriter Sara Schell, 23, took songwriter of the year over Edgar Barrera, who led all nominees with 10 nods and still won producer of the year for the fourth time, Billboard says.

## What do U.S. viewers need to know?

The ceremony was broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on TelevisaUnivision platforms and hosted by Roselyn Sánchez, per Billboard. Most categories were handed out at the non-televised Premiere ceremony hours earlier. The eligibility window covered recordings released between June 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026, so some of these albums are more than a year old by now. We have not confirmed a streaming replay date, so check Univision's own listings.

## Our take

Rosalía's win was the expected one, and Billboard calls it that. The real news is Milo J. Going from trap to a folk album and winning the night's top record award at 19 is a bigger shift than another trophy for an established star. Karol G adding a third urban album trophy shows how steady her run has been. If you are catching up, start with "Niño" and "La Perla," because those are the two songs that took the top awards.
