Additionally, the telecast will celebrate the legacy of José Alfredo Jiménez with a tribute in honor of the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Born on Jan. 19, 1926, in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Jiménez, known as the “King of Ranchero Music,” is considered one of the most important singers and songwriters of the genre, and was behind hits such as “El Rey” and “Caminos de Guanajuato.” His music has been performed and reimagined by superstars including Pedro Infante, Vicente Fernández, Luis Miguel, Maná and more. On the Billboard charts, Jiménez had 12 entries on Top Latin Albums, reaching his highest position with La Historia del Rey, which peaked at No. 11 in 2006. The album also earned him his first and only No. 1 on regional Mexican Albums that same year.
The tribute will be produced by Edgar Barrera, who leads this year’s nominees with 10 nods, including record of the year, album of the year and song of the year, mostly for his work on projects by Karol G and Carín León.
The 27th annual Latin Grammy Awards will air live from Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. via TelevisaUnivision platforms. Prior to the broadcast, the Latin Grammy Premiere, a non-televised ceremony announcing most of the winners, will take place.
