J Balvin Pays Ode to Reggaeton During Latin GRAMMY Speech: "It's Time To Create New Legends"

The Colombian artist has been one of the leaders in the reemergence of reggaeton and used his acceptance speech to recognize the power of the genre

Nov 16, 2018 - 1:59 pm

The 19th Latin GRAMMY Awards, held Nov. 15, was an exciting night for Colombian artist J Balvin, who led the night with a total of 8 nominations, the most of any other artist nominated at the show that night.

J Balvin Latin GRAMMY Speech Honors Reggaeton

The rapper has been a recognized leader for bringing reggaeton back into the mainstream and harder than ever, since English-language pop-centric U.S. and other parts of the world first heard names like Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderon and Don Omar around the early '00s (Yankee also won an award last night, for Best Urban Song for "Dura.") The success of the genre the last few years has been slowly making waves at the Latin GRAMMYs. The genre has been climbing its way outside of just the urban categories and into general sought-after categories like "Record Of The Year," which Balvin was nominated for twice this year—2011's Album Of The Year winners hip-hop/reggaeton dup Calle 13 infused reggaeton and other genres in their award-winning Entren Los Que Quieran.

Balvin—who has collaborated with artists of other Latin genres, including indie, Alt. Latino artist, Carla Morrison, who he performed with at the show—used his speech for his only win, Best Urban Music Album, to address the state of reggaeton. He brought up the success reggaeton has had the last few years, despite the challenges the music has faced as a respected genre, and spoke about the power the genre has to change lives. 

"Thank you. I want to share this GRAMMY with my colleagues. All the people from the urban genre that are nominated," he began. "To everyone that is representing this genre that we have fought so hard for, that has been sometimes a bit discriminated against, but here we are still fighting for it and showing that there are a lot of talented people, that reggaeton has saved lives, that reggaeton has motivated people to leave the streets and inspired better dreams, that shows dreaming is worth it."

Balvin gave a special shout-out to Ozuna, another nominated reggaeton artist who has achieved mass success and garnered billions of views on YouTube. "Ozuna, you know I love you a lot and respect you a lot," Balvin said.

The rapper ended his speech by paying respect to Latin legendary artists that came before him, but said that was time for new legends to be made.

"Let's not kill the dreams of the new producers that are coming up, the new songwriters that are coming up. Value the young blood that is coming because we are the future of music," he said.
"Obviously with so much respect for artists who are legends and will be legends always, but it's time to create new legends, new motivations. For people on the streets to also want to be like us because we are also an example of what life can be. God Bless"

Ecuador's Paula is the of the 19th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. The talented artist has illustrated five children's books and several book covers.

"I've lived surrounded by musicians and dancers—their vibrations, their choreographies, and their creative madness. In creating the art for the 19th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, it was as if the power of music had been just waiting to come out."

4. Leading Ladies Of Entertainment Will Occur For The Second Year In A Row

There is much to do the week leading up to the Latin GRAMMYs and this year, the event that honors and celebrates women succeeding in the music industry will once again be one of the many celebrations happening.

In 2012 the Latin Recording Academy announced an expansion to 10 nominees each for the General Four categories: Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist.

Las Vegas is the place to be this week for the 19th Latin GRAMMY Awards, taking place this Thursday. The Latin GRAMMY Week festivities officially kicked off Nov. 13 as the Latin Recording Academy honored influential Latin music artists Erasmo Carlos, Dyango, Andy Montañez, José María Napoleón, Chucho Valdés, Wilfrido Vargas and Yuri with their Lifetime Achievement Award as part of the Special Awards ceremony. Visionary label executives Horacio Malvicino and Tomás Muñoz received the Trustees Award. Both awards celebrate the honorees outstanding and lasting contributions to Latin music.

The celebratory evening honoring these nine people was filled with applause, gratitude and even a few tearful moments as the artists reflected on their achievements and what it took to get there. Latin Recording Academy President and CEO Gabriel Abaroa Jr. and singer Raquel Sofia hosted the event, which, as Abaroa highlighted when opening the event, the awards presented are not "extra GRAMMYs," as they don't honor an album or a song, but a career and legacy of an artist. A touching video showcased each artists' achievements and milestones, and each award was given by a different presenter, who highlighted some of the honoree's most notable career moments, with Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow handing off the first award. The event was livestreamed on Facebook, with fans from around the world sharing in the excitement and celebrating each artist.

"We are proud to pay tribute to this remarkable group of talented artists and music professionals with this year's Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards," Abaroa Jr. said in a statement. "Our 2018 class has made outstanding contributions benefitting Ibero-American music, providing innovation and a unique vision in favor of all music lovers."

The first to be honored was the great Cuban jazz musician Chucho Valdés, born to a musician father, who he released a touching duet album with, followed by Brazilian rocker Erasmo Carlos, whose music transcended genres, often with psychedelic influences. Next to be presented the award was Barcelona-born singer Dyango, aka "La Voz del Amor" (The Voice of Love), whose passionate ballads gained him a loyal following in Latin America, and Puerto Rican salsa legend Andy Montañez from Puerto Rico, a lead artist of the growing salsa romántica sound in the '80s. The fifth award went to Mexican singer José María Napoleón, aka "El Poeta de la Canción" (The Song's Poet), who got teary-eyed with gratitude as he said, quite poetically, "gracias por este tesoro gran precioso" (thank you for this beautiful treasure).

The excitement and positivity stayed high throughout the evening, with each presenter having plenty to talk about for each monumental honoree. The second to last Lifetime Achievement Award recipient was Dominican merengue artist Wilfrido Vargas, a trumpet player and bandleader who led the genre forward for years, even mentoring the next generation of artists including Las Chicas de Can, the first all-female merengue group from the Dominican Republic.

The final artist honored—which many Facebook viewers seemed to be waiting for the whole time—was Mexican genre-defying popstar and actress Yuri, aka "La Güera" (The Blonde), or as she's often referred to, the "Global Pop Diva." She shared how thankful she was to her many fans for making her 40 years of work worth it, although she knows she has plenty more work to do. As the presenter of her award said, "Su talento no tiene limites" (her talent has no limits).

Horacio Malvicino, a label executive and jazz musician from Argentina, and Tomás Muñoz, a label executive from Spain who worked with the likes of Julio Iglesias, were both honored with the Trustees Award.

As excitement mounts for Thursday's presentation of this year's Latin GRAMMYs, which recognize the finest artists and projects of the year, the Latin GRAMMYs Special Awards remind us where we come from, celebrating those artists and industry players who paved the road for so many of today's stars.

With so many magical moments to choose from, last night's 19th Latin GRAMMY Awards stays fresh in our memories. But what stands out to you the most? The performances were remarkable but so were the wins and acceptance speeches. Many winners paid tribute to traditions and to being part of today's Latin music scene keeping those traditions fresh. The wins by J Balvin and Karol G were also recognition for reggaetón, and Rosalía's acceptance speech shouted out to other great women of music. The red carpet was unforgettable, too. So what stands out for you?

What Was Your Favorite Moment From The 19th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards?

After his Salvavidas De Hielo received Best Singer-Songwriter Album at the Premiere ceremony, Uruguayan Jorge Drexler was moved when he won Song Of The Year for "Telefonía" to thank his competition, as well as the writers Jorge Luis Borges and Fernando Pessoa. When it was announced that "Telefonía" had won Record Of The Year, Drexler was visibly surprised. At the 15th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards Drexler's Bailar En La Cueva had won Best Singer-Songwriter Album as well, and its "Universos Paralelos" won Record Of The Year, making last night's Record Of The Year win his fifth Latin GRAMMY Award and his second time winning the category.
