The Cuban-American rapper and singer, and the legendary American rock star, lit the stage with their riveting performance, while the audience bopped their heads singing.
Pitbull and Jon Bon Jovi struck up a friendship after meeting at the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and awards ceremony. Since then, they notably hit the stage together last April at the Hollywood Bowl for a duet of âThank God & Jimmy Buffettâ during the Keep The Party Going: A Tribute To Jimmy Buffett. In September, Jon Bon Jovi surprised Pitbullâs fans at the Jones Beach Theater, during the New York stop of his Party After Dark Tour, where they sang âItâs My Lifeâ together for the very first time.

Now, they give the song a spin with their new remix. In âNow Or Never,â the trackâs instantly recognizable riff and chorus ring out as powerfully as ever, with Pitbull adding fresh verses like âMe, I am a man of my word, and I live itâ and âJust live your life like Frank Sinatra, your way, and have no fear.â

The first to take center stage at the Kaseya Center were Reik and Leonel GarcĂa, who honored superstar singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel, who died in 2015, performing his anthemic song âHasta Que Te ConocĂ.â Their performance was so moving that it got people on their feet, and even Karol G was seen singing along emotionally.
Then it was Carlos Rivera and David Bisbalâs turn to take the stage and they didnât disappoint. The pair sang evocatively the late JosĂ© JosĂ©âs iconic song âEl Triste.â Then it was Alejandro FernĂĄndezâs turn to take the spotlight to honor his father, who passed in 2021, singing âNo Me SĂ© Rajar,â giving the mariachi song a banda twist, and it really got everyone dancing along to his performance. Alejandroâs version of his dadâs classic will be part of his De Rey a Rey tribute album, set to be released next year.

âItâs still surprising to me,â Vives told Billboard Español in May. âItâs like a message that the Academy gives at the end because 32 years ago, I chose a path [that was unconventional]. To be successful, to be commercial, there was one way. This other path thatâs cultural or has to do with your identity, that doesnât work, [they would say].â
Winner of 18 Latin Grammys and two Grammys, Carlos Vives is a pioneer of vallenato-pop fusion that has captivated audiences around the world. Over more than three decades, the Santa Marta singer-songwriter has produced hits such as âFruta Fresca,â âComo TĂșâ and âVolvĂ a Nacer,â among many others. These timeless songs not only reached No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, but have also played a crucial role in elevating Colombian popular culture to the world stage.

âCarlos Vives is one of the most prolific and beloved artists of our time, whose commitment to Latin music and support for the new generations truly personifies the values of our Academy,â said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, in a previous press release. âWe honor him as our Person of the Year for his vast contributions to our musical heritage and for his many philanthropic initiatives.â
His 2023 album, Escalona: Nunca Se HabĂa Grabado AsĂ, earned Vives his 18th Latin Grammy when it was crowned best cumbia/vallenato album.
On Wednesday, the eve of the 25th annual Latin Grammy Awards, heartfelt odes are expected from fellow musicians who will pay tribute to Vivesâ impact on Latin music by performing versions of his songs. The event will also highlight his work beyond music, including his dedication to social causes and cultural preservation.
Stay tuned as we bring you updates â including performances, speeches and exclusive insights â directly from tonightâs ceremony.

Here are our predictions:
Record of the year
âMil Veces,â Anitta
âMonaco,â Bad Bunny
âUna Vida Pasada,â Camilo & CarĂn LeĂłn
âCatalina,â Cimafunk & Monsieur PerinĂ©
âDerrumbe,â Jorge Drexler
âCon Dinero y Sin Dinero,â Fonseca & Grupo Niche
âMi Ex TenĂa RazĂłn,â Karol G
âMambo 23,â Juan Luis Guerra y 4.40
âTenochtitlĂĄn,â Mon Laferte
âIgual Que Un Ăngel,â Kali Uchis & Peso Pluma
Sigal Ratner-Arias: I feel strongly about âIgual Que Un Ăngel.â I think itâs pun-intended, a heavenly pop song that is so pleasant to the ear with Kaliâs vocal style and breathy tones, and Peso shows a softer side that weâve never heard before. To me, itâs already a winner. I also love Camilo and CarĂn LeĂłnâs salsa âUna Vida Pasada,â and I think that would be the runner-up.Â
Isabela Raygoza: I agree with that. That [âIgual Que Un Ăngelâ] was my pick, but I quickly want to highlight âMonaco.â I love its moodiness, Charles Aznavourâs references, and the menacing violin riffs; the lyrics are really elegant too. But definitely âIgual que un Ăngel.â Not only did it perform extraordinarily well on many Billboard charts, peaking at No. 1, but what Sigal said, hearing Peso sing in an entirely new style really works for him, and Kaliâs voice is so angelic and sultry. The production is so supreme that it drips with opulent sensuality. Itâs a song you can dance and get frisky to.Â
Griselda Flores: I think it could be âMi Ex TenĂa RazĂłn,â because it has Edgar Barrera, and itâs a nicely produced song. Weâve already heard Karol G do a more regional Mexican style but this norteño is a side that we havenât seen from Karol. It softens her. And then thereâs Barrera, whoâs a [Latin] Grammy darling, and obviously that gives her an extra push. But I also think âMonacoâ is very strong, because itâs arranged very nicely. Itâs a strong contender because it was so catchy. I just hear it and it takes me back to a moment.Â
Ingrid Fajardo: For me, I would like âMonacoâ to win. Itâs such a special song on his album and the whole concept that Bad Bunny created. Itâs so elegant in the way the intro with the violins, the lyrics, the concept of what heâs talking about and I would like Bad Bunny to win, he deserves it. I feel like heâs the only one who really experiments. He surprises us more and more.
Jessica Roiz: I agree with Ingrid, because weâre seeing Bad Bunny in a new light. Heâs very experimental with everything he does, but just the whole classical aspect of it is beautiful. The first time I heard this song, it immediately set the tone for his album and this new era of maturity and evolution. The lyrics were a look inside of what he was going through professionally and personally. Musically, it also made me feel like I was in one of those Golden Age of Hollywood movies. The route he took with this song makes me feel like itâs worthy of a record of the year.Â

Album of the year
Bolero, Ăngela Aguilar
Cuatro, Camilo
Xande Canta Caetano, Xande De Pilares
Mañana Serå Bonito (Bichota Season), Karol G
GarcĂa, Kany GarcĂa
Radio GĂŒira, Juan Luis Guerra 4.40
Autopoiética, Mon Laferte
Boca Chueca, Vol. 1, CarĂn LeĂłn
Las Letras Ya No Importan, Residente
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Shakira
Flores: I would want CarĂn LeĂłn to win because he showcased how versatile he can be. Obviously, we know his palette is diverse but he cemented who he could be outside of regional Mexican without losing his essence. I want him to win because I think itâs a beautiful album, but I think Shakira could possibly take this one because of the momentum around her, the tour and her comeback album. I think sheâs the strongest contender here.Â
Fajardo: Itâs the same for me because CarĂn experimented and took us into his genre, but it also has a little bit of rock and country. Itâs like CarĂnâs world, musically, but it also takes us into what he listens to and what he identifies with. The runner-up for me would be âCuatroâ by Camilo.
Ratner-Arias: I agree with CarĂn, he is my runner-up â but I feel that the competition is really going to be between Residente, who is a darling of the Latin Academy and who presented another innovative masterpiece with his album, and Shakira for her comeback and her heartfelt and personal songs. I would give my vote to her but I think Residente would be deserving and could take it.
Raygoza: I agree that Residente made a masterpiece. He presented himself as a more well-rounded artist, a songwriter who thinks outside the box with production and concept. But I also agree that CarĂn LeĂłn could possibly take this one. I love that there is a regional Mexican song in this category; I think heâs the most-fitting darling-esque act for La Academia; however, my actual pick is Mon Laferte. The album opens up with âTenochtitlĂĄn,â singing of the fallen ancient civilizations but the trip-hop-meets-bolero beat, Ă la Portishead. Then she switches to cumbia rebajada [on âTe Juro Que VolverĂ©â]. I think her sound and voice are so haunting. Sheâs so poetic. I would love for her to win but I think CarĂn could win this one.Â
Roiz: I would like CarĂn to win as well because I feel that it would make a huge statement for mĂșsica mexicana music. Yes, heâs experimenting but with what he likes and heâs consuming not with whatâs trending. Notably, thereâs that song he did with the gospel choir and itâs so passionate. Everything he sings comes out beautiful. I do hope he wins but it could also go to Residente or Kany GarcĂa â I think those would be my runner-ups.Â
CarĂn LeĂłn.

â313,â Leo Genovese, Residente & Silvia PĂ©rez Cruz, songwriters (Residente, Silvia PĂ©rez Cruz & PenĂ©lope Cruz)
Ratner-Arias: As a good Venezuelan I would like to see âCaracas en el 2000â win. It is a happy song, contagious, full of feelings, and nostalgia. It takes you back to a time in your life â it doesnât matter that youâre not Venezuelan, but it takes you back to your homeland in those teenage years in a way that makes you smile and the chorus is super catchy. However, Residenteâs song is very powerful and I think itâs very likely to win.
Flores: I donât see a clear winner but I think that Jorge Drexler might have more of a chance here because itâs a beautiful song. Itâs a spoken word and super poetic. Other than that, âSegĂșn QuiĂ©nâ was really catchy and resonated with listeners. Also, Elena Rose and Danny Ocean are beautiful songwriters, so I would like to see them get this recognition as composers.Â
Fajardo: I would like âTe Lo Agradezcoâ to win. I feel the lyrics are different. Itâs a reminder of self-love from someone elseâs point of view. I feel the same way that Jorge Drexler or RubĂ©n Blades could win.
Roiz: I would like to see âCaracas en el 2000â win because it would be one of those statement-making moments. I love what the song represents â especially for Venezuela and for what all these artists have done for their country this year. I also think âTe Lo Agradezcoâ is a beautifully crafted song and it definitely has song-of-the-year potential. A strong runner-up for me would be âA La Mitad.â Maura Nava is a brand-new artist, coming from Julio Reyes Copelloâs ArtHouse Academy, and itâs just surprising to see her in this category. Itâs a very haunting and captivating song.Â
Raygoza: Iâm gonna go with âCaracas en el 2000â because Venezuela had a huge year with its artists, and this song beautifully encapsulates that. Itâs a powerful Venezuelan trio and the song is a youth nostalgia to their years living in Venezuela. I like the songwriting, enjoying a âcheese empanada,â itâs really cute! It reflects their life amid the countryâs dramatic political shift. For my runner-up, Iâm also going to go with Residente. I think itâs a very vulnerable song, especially after dedicating the song to a friend of his who passed away. The song navigates between mourning and remembrance, the nature of life, and how we cherish connections. I think itâs a beautiful orchestral ballad that touches on existence.Â

Flores: Latin Mafia. I think theyâre everywhere and everyone is talking about them. During Billboard Latin Music Week, I heard an executive say that they are the future of Latin music, and I kind of agree. They come with a different proposal, very unique, very real. They are brothers from Mexico doing avant-garde pop music, and itâs something refreshing for me. They excite me a lot, and I think they should and could win. A runner-up for me could be either Inigo Quintero or Ela Taubert â I think they have a good chance.Â
Raygoza: I want to echo what Griselda said because I feel similarly about Latin Mafia. They are groundbreaking in terms of their sonic configurations. Their sound is nostalgic but noisy. The production in their debut album is impeccable, they have rock, grunge, trip-hop, and skater punk, and itâs so unpredictable. Obviously, they had a huge year because they debuted at Coachella, and they signed to Rimas. Theyâre so unique in their presentation and itâs refreshing to see a group like them because it adds more versatility. Theyâre not pop nor urbano, theyâre producers and theyâre rockers, and I love that about them.    Â
Fajardo: I agree. I feel that Latin Mafia represents an indie, conceptual, and creative side of music that we donât hear a lot of in the United States. For me, they are super creative and Iâm glad there is a space for them. My runner-up would be Ela, we have seen her very active this year and she has a lot of support.
Ratner-Arias: Each nominee in this category has their charm but my favorites here are Ela and Darumas. In fact, I would love for Darumas to win! Ela has a lot of beautiful pop songs that are relatable lyrics but I feel like weâve seen a lot of singers like that already. Darumas represents something exciting and special by bringing funk, R&B, and Latin flavor. My vote is for Darumas, but the runner-up could be Latin Mafia.
Roiz: Personally, I would have loved to see Noreh in this category, but I agree with Sigal. I would love to see one of the girls win again. I was shocked when I saw Darumas here. They just kicked off their career this year, so this is pretty exciting. Their concept is super cool and they are very talented. I would love to see either Darumas or Ela Taubert win this one. Ela is a very well-rounded pop star.
