Predictions for the Latin Grammys, featuring Bad Bunny, Gloria Estefan, and Fuerza Regida as potential winners
Preview of the 2025 Latin Grammys: Contenders for Album of the Year and Best New Artist
As the countdown to the 2025 Latin Grammys begins, anticipation is growing for the prestigious awards ceremony. In the Album of the Year category, two albums stand out as the main contenders: Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos and Natalia Lafourcade's Cancionera.
Bad Bunny's album, a masterpiece of the decade, is a defining work of 2025, with its pulsating rhythms and thought-provoking commentary on identity, nostalgia, and resistance. Lafourcade's Cancionera, on the other hand, is a peak in her career, showcasing her unique blend of traditional Mexican music and contemporary sounds.
The nominations for the Best New Artist category are yet to be announced, but indie artists like Gepe and Mabe Fratti are generating buzz and are considered deserving of nominations. Gepe, known for his 2024 session Undesastre, and Mabe Fratti, who has drawn critical acclaim for her avant-garde work blending jazz, classical, and synth elements, are names to watch out for.
Apart from these, several other albums are making waves in the Latin music scene. Judeline's debut album, following the success of "Bodhiria," is widely praised for its cohesive assortment of flamenco, electro-pop, and R&B. The instrumentation of "Nadie Se Va Como Llegó" by Ángela Aguilar includes mariachi strings, norteño, and pop elements, with Marc Anthony being the only collaboration.
Gloria Estefan's album "Raíces" is a contender for Album of the Year, marking her return to Spanish-language music after 18 years. The heartfelt album features salsa and bolero rhythms and is a contender for Album of the Year.
Annasofia, a graduate of the Art House Academy under the mentorship of Julio Reyes Copello, is a musician and producer who is best known for her unique combination of Latin pop, hip-hop, rock, and more. Her album, the title of which is yet to be revealed, promises to be a fresh addition to the Latin music scene.
Kevin Kaarl, a Mexican folk singer and composer, has found success both in Mexico and the U.S. as an independent artist. His upcoming album showcases an unmatched versatility in genres such as salsa, reggaeton, dembow, and plena.
Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, an Argentine experimental trap and hip-hop duo, have already played at Glastonbury, Coachella, and Lollapalooza. They went viral during international showings in Japan and have secured a major opening slot for Kendrick Lamar's "Grand National" tour.
The eligibility period for the 2025 Latin Grammys was from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. The Latin Recording Academy is hosting the Latin Grammys on Nov. 13, 2025. The official nominations are expected to be announced on September 17, 2025, which might clarify the Best New Artist predictions further.
