Meet the Best New Artist Nominees at the 2024 Latin Grammys

Written by on November 7, 2024

The winner of the best new artist category at the Latin Grammys this year is almost impossible to predict. The 10 nominees reflect a wide-ranging group of acts who are eclectic, offering a fresh breath of air in the Latin music scene.

From Mexican trio Latin Mafia, to girl band Darumas, Spanish phenomenon Íñigo Quintero and Colombian singer-songwriter Ela Taubert, to name a few of the contenders, the best new artist award is given to an artist who releases the first recording that establishes their public identity during the eligibility year, and “has not reached a prominent level of recognition at a regional level,” according to an official description by the Latin Recording Academy.

Elsewhere in the categories, the 2024 Latin Grammy nominations are led for a second consecutive year by Mexican hitmaker Edgar Barrera, who scored nine nods this year, including songwriter of the year and producer of the year. He is followed by superstars Karol G and Bad Bunny, who got eight mentions each.

On its 25th anniversary, the Latin Grammy Awards incorporated a new field of electronic music, and two new categories: best Latin electronic music performance, and best contemporary Mexican music album. For a full list of nominations, click here.

The three-hour telecast will be produced by TelevisaUnivision, and will air live on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and ViX from the Kaseya Center in Miami beginning at 8 p.m. ET, preceded by a one-hour pre-show starting at 7 p.m.
