They propose to celebrate the Latin Grammys outside the United States in 2023

The Latin Recording Academy contemplates the possibility of holding the 24th edition of the awards Latin Grammyto be held in 2023, in a city outside of the United StatesA spokesman for the organization already told the EFE news agency.

“We have been in talks with several cities, including cities outside the United States, for next year’s celebration,” said a spokesman for the Latin Recording Academy (Grammy).

“We are very excited about the interest we have received from large international cities,” he added, without giving further details about the cities that would be possible candidates to host the awards ceremony in the next 2023 edition.

Are they going to Spain?

The spokesman declined to confirm versions appeared this Friday in the Spanish press, according to which. Next year, these awards will be held in that country, as a result of an agreement being prepared by the Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) corporation with the Latin Recording Academy. If so, the agreement could be closed next January.

If so, for the first time in the 24-year history of these awards, the traditional gala with international artists would leave the territory of the United States. The growing presence throughout the world of Latin American and Spanish artists partly influences in this possible change of venue for the celebration of what is considered one of the most consecrated musical awards.

The great Latin music festival, which has traditionally been held in Miami, this year changed cities but always within the United States, as it took place at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas (in the state of Nevada), on November 17.
