In the face of an ongoing pandemic, global quarantines and facemasks everywhere, the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs remained the Biggest Night in Latin Music. 

The Latin Recording Academy hosted the 21st Latin GRAMMY Awards, held Thursday (Nov. 19) in Miami, this year without a live audience or the usual red carpet due to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Actress Yalitza Aparicio joined Ana Brenda Contreras and Carlos Rivera on hosting duties. One large change to the awards show was the shift to having a few of the night's performances streamed from different cities in Latin America, including Guadalajara, Madrid, Buenos Aires, San Juan and Rio de Janeiro. One thing that didn't change, however, were the surprises and memorable performances throughout the history-making night. 

GRAMMY.com relives the Biggest Night in Latin Music with 10 unforgettable moments from the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs.

The Show Opened With A Powerful Tribute To Salsa Legend Héctor Lavoe

The 2020 Latin GRAMMYs began with a bang as Sergio George led his band into the opening notes of Héctor Lavoe's "El Cantante," as singer Ricardo Montaner sang the famous first four words of the song: "Yo, soy el cantante" ("I am the singer"). Jesus Navarro and Victor Manuelle joined in to accompany him soon after. The trio of singers were clearly in their element, but the party truly began once the band reached the chorus as Best New Artist nominee Rauw Alejandro walked out with the Original Rude Girl herself, Ivy Queen. The end result was a loving and moving tribute that set the tone for the rest of the night.

Susana Baca Dedicates GRAMMY Win To Young People And Workers Fighting For Change In Peru

Susana Baca is a legend in her own right, and her name is synonymous with her homeland of Perú along with the Incas and Machu Picchu. With her homeland currently living through politically tumultuous times, it's no surprise that the folk singer, who twice moonlighted in an official political capacity, had something to say about the current events in her country. Baca, who served as Perú's Minister of Culture in 2011 and as the President of the Commission for Culture (2011 - 2013) for the Organization of American States, dedicated her Latin GRAMMY award for Best Folk Album to the youth and all working-class people fighting for change in Perú. "I dedicate this to all the young people, especially the young people and all the workers who, each day, build this country we call Perú," she said via video.

Mon Laferte Becomes The Chilean Artist With The Most Latin GRAMMY Wins



View this post on Instagram


A post shared by mon laferte (@monlaferte)

Mon Laferte's Latin GRAMMY win this year, for Best Rock Song for her song "Biutiful," cemented her status as one of her country's leading musical artists. The award marked her third Latin GRAMMY win, making her the Chilean artist with the most Latin GRAMMY awards. That title once belonged to La Ley, who won a Latin GRAMMY for Best Rock Album in 2000 and again in 2004. Laferte previously won the Best Alternative Album award in 2019 and Best Alternative Song in 2017, when she was nominated for five different awards. 

Bad Bunny And Residente Make Latin GRAMMY History

https://twitter.com/LatinGRAMMYs/status/1329899026494451712

¡Felicidades! @Residente Mejor Canción de Rap/Hip Hop 🎶👏👏👏 #LatinGRAMMY pic.twitter.com/TzGiRnFkJS

— The Latin Recording Academy / Latin GRAMMYs (@LatinGRAMMYs) November 20, 2020

This year's awards ceremony welcomed the debut of three new categories: Best Reggaeton Performance, Best Rap/Hip Hop Song and Best Pop/Rock Song. Superstars Bad Bunny and Residente were the first to take two of these honors. El Conejito Malo took home the Best Reggaeton Performance award for his celebrated anthem, "Yo Perreo Sola." Residente, no stranger to the Latin GRAMMYS thanks to a record-breaking list of 27 awards, added his 28th Latin GRAMMY to his trophy case as the first winner in the Best Rap/Hip Hop Song category for "Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe." Meanwhile, Argentine singer and film director Fito Páez took home the first-ever prize in the brand-new Best Pop/Rock Song category for his song, "La Canción De Las Bestias."

Carla Morrison Shares Stage With Ricky Martin For "Recuerdo" Duet

Carla Morrison told GRAMMY.com about her excitement about dueting with Ricky Martin during the Latin GRAMMYs broadcast. As promised, the duo delivered a moving rendition of their duet, "Recuerdo," which is featured on Martin's latest EP, Pausa. Martin, dressed in black, sat next to Morrison, clad in a white dress, as the duo crooned their way through a shorter, though no less emotionally heart-wrenching, version of the song. Martin won the Latin GRAMMY for Best Pop Album that night.

J Balvin's Bleeding Heart

J Balvin really took the show's theme, "Music makes us human," to heart during his performance of his hit song, "Rojo." Balvin took to the stage in a white three-piece suit and stepped out under a large prop designed to look like a pair of arms and hands clasped together in a prayer position. The Colombian artist opened the song by wearing his heart on his sleeve and proclaiming to the world how his "heart breaks and I pray for the world." 

The video screens around him flashed scenes of protestors marching for equal rights when, halfway through the song, Balvin spoke to viewers again. This time, the bleeding heart wasn't just metaphorical as fake blood poured out from the left side of his suit's chest into the shape of a heart and ran down his coat. "Even though the world feels bleak," he said during the performance breakdown, "and our fears can overtake us, this is the moment that our hearts, which are bleeding, can feel again, that we can come together and fight for our dreams and a better future."

Bad Bunny Reminds Us Why He's One Of The Best Performers Today

Bad Bunny went above and beyond with his performance at the Latin GRAMMYs as he unveiled what felt like more of a short music video production of a live show. El Conejito Malo started his set behind the wheel of a white Bugatti. He stops to perform "Bichiyal" while flanked by women on motorcycles and four-wheel ATVs. The scene shifts to Bad Bunny on a small stage where an all-woman band with guitars, violins and a drum kit perform a stripped-down version of "Si Veo a Tu Mamá." It all ended with a fireworks show as the cameras pulled back to reveal that the stage he was on was set on top of the second base diamond of Hiram Bithorn Stadium in his native Puerto Rico. Can anyone do it better?!

Anitta's Medley Of Skills



View this post on Instagram


A post shared by The Latin Recording Academy (@latingrammys)

Anitta's rise to stardom was quick, but certainly not a fluke, and she proved why during her two-song performance of "Mas Que Nada" and "Me Gusta," all while making it all look easy. In under three minutes, the Lapa Arches of Rio de Janeiro bore witness as Anitta danced, sung in Portuguese, Spanish and English, and even played a bit of percussion to boot. She was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY in the Best Urban Song category for "Rave De Favela," a banger that features Major Lazer, BEAM and MC Lan.

Lupita Infante's Moving Tribute To Her Grandfather

Like grandfather, like granddaughter. Lupita Infante was one of a few singers at this year's Latin GRAMMYs who carries a family history of legacy. One wouldn't know it, however, from watching her perform a song made classic by her grandfather, Pedro Infante. Lupita paid tribute to her late grandfather, a man who set many benchmarks in Mexican music and film, by performing his classic song, "Amorcito Corazón," backed by the Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández.

Alejandro Fernández, Calibre 50 And Christian Nodal Unite For A Generation-Spanning Performance Of Regional Mexican Music

🎶 "Decepciones" "AYAYAY!" & "Más No Puedo" 🎶 @alexoficial @Calibre50 @elnodal 🙌 #LatinGRAMMY pic.twitter.com/f6oYx8CHH6

— The Latin Recording Academy / Latin GRAMMYs (@LatinGRAMMYs) November 20, 2020

The past, present and future of regional Mexican music came together under the light of fireworks in the skies of Guadalajara. With Vicente Fernández formally retired (though that didn't keep him from performing at last year's Latin GRAMMYs), his son, Alejandro "El Potrillo" Fernández, has continued his father's tradition of keeping the charro alive. A grand mariachi singer in his own right, Alejandro joined two artists leading the new generation in norteño, banda, ranchera and mariachi music. He and Calibre 50 performed their song, "Decepciones," backed by a mariachi group. Christian Nodal then appeared with his own backing band to perform his mariacheño hit, "AYAYAY!" It all came together when Fernández joined forces with Nodal for a duet performance of their track, "Más No Puedo."

Ahead of the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs this week, GRAMMY.com recently caught up with the Latin superstars to get the deets behind their reactions. Read below to meet some of this year's first-time Latin GRAMMY nominees.

Guaynaa

GRAMMYs

Where were you when you found out you were nominated for a Latin GRAMMY?

In a hotel in Miami just getting up.

How did you feel?

I was very excited, happy and incredulous at the same time. I had just realized one of my biggest dreams as an artist.

Who did you tell first about your nomination?

My parents.

What does this nomination mean to you?

It means a lot of things, but it definitely represents a reward for sacrificing days and nights in the recording studios and endless hours flying to bring our talent to the world.

Who are you most excited to see at this year's Latin GRAMMYs?

I don't have anyone in particular, but it's always exciting to be reunited with my colleagues at any kind of awards, and I imagine it will be even more exciting at the Latin GRAMMYs.

Cazzu

GRAMMYs

Where were you when you found out you were nominated for a Latin GRAMMY?

When I found out about the nomination, I was on my bed having a session with my therapist via Skype when a message dropped down about my nomination [lLughs] and I told my therapist.

How did you feel?

What I felt when I found out I was nominated was, obviously, very surprised and a lot of gratitude. Happiness, happiness. It's enough of an achievement for me. A nomination, no matter who wins, the recognition is always a compliment. 

Who did you tell first about your nomination?

[Laughs] The first person I was able to tell was my therapist because he was there when I got the message, so he was the first to know. 

Who are you most excited to see at this year's Latin GRAMMYs?

I get very excited about seeing my colleagues and my friends. They're the people I like to bump into on the red carpet. I think it is really gratifying knowing I'll be around friends and compatriots.

Soy Emilia

GRAMMYs

Where were you when you found out you were nominated for a Latin GRAMMY?

I was at home making acoustic videos for a Mexican channel called "El Sofa." 

How did you feel?

I was surprised, I did not expect this nomination and then I felt very excited and happy for the recognition.

Who did you tell first about your nomination?

I told my sister, who began to cry, first, and then my mother who also cried of emotion.

What does this nomination mean to you?

This nomination means recognition for the constant work as an independent and alternative artist.

Who are you most excited to see at this year's Latin GRAMMYs?

I want to see Debi Nova's presentation. I love her.

Nathy Peluso

GRAMMYs

Where were you when you found out you were nominated for a Latin GRAMMY?

I was out. They called me on the phone and it took me by surprise. I started running around on the street. I called my mom. I did not expect it, really. It was like a very unexpected call for me. I wasn't waiting to see if they would tell me something; I did not expect it at all.

Who did you tell first about your nomination? Was it your mom?

Yes. I thought she would be very excited. I told her the news. I said, "Mami, mami, I'm nominated for a Latin GRAMMY." And she said, "Wow. Nathy, that doesn't surprise me, because you deserve it." She said very nice things. It was an exciting moment.

What does this nomination mean to you?

For me, it means [a lot coming] from the music industry, from the Academy, from my peers. Like very important inspiration for me to push forward and continue to represent Latin music with a lot of love. For me, it gives me a sense of pride and honor to be able to be there representing so many musicians, our culture, our music. It’s incredible.

The 2020 Latin GRAMMYs will air on Univision on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT). The broadcast will also air on TNT (cable) at 7 p.m. (MEX)/8 p.m. (COL)/10 p.m. (ARG/CHI), and on Televisa on Channel 5.
