The celebrations began with a dazzling red carpet, where international music stars and glamorous guests arrived in spectacular gowns, luxurious outfits and sparkling creations, setting the tone for one of the most glamorous nights in the entertainment calendar.
But beyond the fashion, the lights and the spectacular performances, the Latin GRAMMYs once again demonstrated the extraordinary cultural and commercial power of Latin music, now firmly established as one of the most influential forces in the global entertainment industry.
Spanish superstar Rosalía emerged as the biggest winner of the 2026 ceremony, collecting six awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year for LUX (Complete Works) and Song of the Year for La Perla, featuring Yahritza y Su Esencia.
Another major winner was Argentina's Milo J, who collected four awards, including Record of the Year for Niño, confirming the growing international prominence of a new generation of Latin American artists.
Colombian singer Aria Vega was named Best New Artist, while Karol G took home Best Urban Music Album for Tropicoqueta.
One of the evening's most emotional moments was the tribute to Puerto Rican superstar Daddy Yankee, honoured as the Latin Recording Academy's 2026 Person of the Year. His recognition celebrated an extraordinary career that helped bring reggaeton and Latin urban music to audiences worldwide.
The ceremony also featured memorable performances and tributes, including a tribute to the late salsa legend Willie Colón.
