Spanish singer Rosalía emerged as one of the biggest winners at the 27th Latin Grammy Awards, taking home Album of the Year for Lux (Complete Works) at the ceremony held on November 12, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as reported by Associated Press and Reuters. The award marks her third Album of the Year victory, following previous wins for El Mal Querer in 2019 and Motomami in 2022. Her latest project, an ambitious fusion of classical orchestration and contemporary pop, also earned recognition in several other categories, including Best Alternative Music Album and Best Pop Song for “La Perla”, her collaboration with Yahritza y Su Esencia. Rosalía opened the ceremony with a theatrical performance featuring songs from Lux, reinforcing the artistic vision behind the album.
The night also recognised several other leading names in Latin music. Argentine artist Milo J won Record of the Year for “Niño” and Song of the Year for “Solifican12”, alongside other honours, while Colombian singer Aria Vega received Best New Artist. Karol G secured Best Urban Music Album for Tropicoqueta, adding to her growing collection of international music awards. Puerto Rican reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee was honoured as Person of the Year, becoming the first Latin urbano artist to receive the distinction. The ceremony also featured tributes to late salsa icon Willie Colón and Mexican singer-songwriter José Alfredo Jiménez, alongside performances celebrating the diversity of Spanish- and Portuguese-language music.
Rosalía’s success with Lux further establishes her influence across contemporary global music, particularly through her willingness to bring classical structures, experimental production and diverse cultural influences into mainstream pop. The album’s recognition at the Latin Grammys reflects the Recording Academy’s celebration of artistic ambition and musical innovation across the Latin music industry. With multiple awards from the night’s ceremony, the Spanish performer has added another defining chapter to a career that continues to expand the creative boundaries of modern Latin pop.
