Poll: Who Do You Think Voters Will Choose For Best Latin Pop Album?

Facebook Twitter Email
With Pablo Alboran, Claudia Brant, Natalia Lafourcade, Raquel Sofia, and Carlos Vives nominated in this category, there is no doubt this will be a tough choice for voters

The 61st GRAMMY Awards' Best Latin Pop Album category reflects not only a diversity of artists from all over Latin America and from Spain, but also a range of experiences, backgrounds and voices that make up the Latin pop genre today.

From Spain's Pablo Alboran incorporating Latin urban rhythms in songs about love on his album Prometo to first-time nominee Argentine singer/songwriter Claudia Brant's passionate, personally fulfilling Sincera, there’s no doubt this will be a tough choice for voters.

Polls

Who Do You Think Voters Will Choose For Best Latin Pop Album?

Mexican singer/songwriter Natalia Lafourcade is also in the running. Lafourcade pays homage to popular Latin American music composers by giving well-known and cherished classics her own touch in Musas (Un Homenaje Al Folclore Latinoamericano En Manos De Los Macorinos), Vol. 2.

Or it could go to Puerto Rico's Raquel Sofia, who dived deep into personal themes, including heartbreak, bringing together soul, jazz, pop and more.

And we can’t forget Colombian singer/songwriter Carlos Vives, who on Vives gave us his lively, upbeat sounds, but also brought light to social issues in countries like Mexico.

While you'll have to tune in to the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb.10 to find out who voters chose, you can make your voice heard by voting above. So, which Latin Pop Album would you vote for?

On Nov. 15, the Biggest Night In Latin Music is bringing together 80 countries to celebrate the diversity and excellence of Latin music. One thing to look forward to, other than the winners of the night, are the performers who will pump up the crowd with some of the biggest bangers of the year. We know it's a tough question, but we have to ask, whose performance will you be looking forward to the most?  

Polls

Which Latin GRAMMY Artist Performance Are You Pumped For The Most?

J Balvin is an undeniable showstopper with hits like "Mi Gente," but are you feeling Latin trap star Bad Bunny who is set to open up the show with "Está Rico" with Marc Anthony and Will Smith more this year? Maybe one of reggaeton's leading ladies Karol G, is getting you hyped. Or are you excited about 15-year-old rising star Angela Aguilar showcasing her powerful voice in the style of Mexico's mariachi music? Songstresses Natalia Lafourcade and Mon Laferte will also grace the Latin GRAMMY stage with one of their ballads. Rock/pop music icons Maná, who are this year's Latin GRAMMY Person Of The Year, are sure to rock the stage and we can't forget Steve Aoki or Halsey who are also set to perform and bring their energy every time they perform. There are many more to choose from, so who will it be? Vote above.
