The countdown to one of the most important nights in Latin music has already begun. The Latin Recording Academy announced the first list of artists who will take the stage at the 2026 Latin GRAMMYs, and the names promise a celebration that will bring together different generations, genres, and musical styles.

Rosalía, Daddy Yankee, Anitta, Juanes and Carín León are some of the figures who will star in the 27th edition of the awards, which will be held on Thursday, November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Rosalía and Daddy Yankee stand out among the first confirmed acts. One of the most anticipated performances will be that of Rosalía, who arrives at this edition with seven nominations thanks to her project LUX (Complete Works). The Spanish artist is competing in major categories such as Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, the latter two for “La Perla”.

Another of the great protagonists will be Daddy Yankee, who will have a particularly significant participation.
