Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso Share Steamy Kiss & More Things You Missed at Latin Grammys 2025

Pepe Aguilar’s happy mood radiated at the red carpet as he celebrated his nominations for best ranchero/mariachi album with his Mi Suerte Es Ser Mexicano — a category that also included his son-in-law, Christian Nodal’s ¿Quién + Como Yo? “It was funny because we were actually at a dinner together [when we found out] and I turned to him and said, ‘you better not beat me,’” the Mexican singer joked. “I’m really in love with my family, Christian is my family. If he wins, the award stays in the house.” Later in the night, during the televised show, Nodal was named winner of the category.

Top winners of the night, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, completely took the media center room by storm when they arrived with their five awards. While celebrating their big win, Paco Amoroso expressed his love and gratitude for Ca7riel. “The most important thing here is that we’ve known each other since we were six years old — all of this wasn’t planned, it just happened. I want to tell Ca7riel that he’s my friend, that I love him,” he said, before Ca7riel surprised Paco with a steamy make-out session backstage.

The Argentine pair, who also announced their upcoming album Top of the Hills, won best pop song, best alternative music album, best alternative song, best short form music video, and best long form music video.

After winning best tejano album for Bobby Pulido & Friends Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol.1/En Vivo) — the first Latin Grammy of his career — Bobby Pulido headed to the media center to talk about his next move: retirement.

“Next year I’m going to become a congressman,” he told the press. “I feel very fortunate to have won as I’m exiting my [music] career. There won’t be any more nominations, and I felt more pressure because I’m not going to record any more material; I was nervous. I studied political science; my original plan was to be a lawyer, but music beckoned, and I’ve done quite well. I’ve been blessed to do this for 30 years and have achieved what I’ve wanted to achieve. But now I’m going to fulfill my dream of serving my community.” Pulido also announced that Vol. 2 is on the way and he has a farewell tour in the works.

Morat’s Ya Es Mañana won best pop/rock album, becoming the Colombian band’s first-ever Latin Grammy career win. Backstage at the media center, the Bogota-based group expressed the excitement of not only winning their first golden gramophone but also performing at the awards for the first time. “For all of this to happen on the same night is crazy. This album is everything we always wanted to be as a band. This gives us a boost of energy to go back to the studio and record,” the group told the press.

After winning best rap/hip hop song for “Fresh,” Trueno headed to the media center to talk to the press. In the midst of the Q&A, one journalist asked what was the song that most inspires him, to which he simply replied: “I listen to a lot of 50 Cent when I train. I put his music on and I lift triple the weight that I used to.” The Argentine rapper also revealed that his upcoming album will have a combination of rap music and Argentinean culture.

After nabbing best new artist, rising act Paloma Morphy officially captivated the press at the media center with her bubbly and charming personality. Still very much stunned with her win, the newcomer broke down into tears and said: “I was very sad and unmotivated, and I don’t know where I got the strength to move forward, but I connected with my dream since I was little that I never thought could be real.”
