On the heels of winning best urban song for his heartfelt “DtMF,” Bad Bunny took center stage to perform with Chuwi at the 2025 Latin Grammys on Thursday night (Nov. 13).

Their performance kicked off with the emerging Puerto Rican band singing their suave salsa single “Tikiri,” released in 2022. Soon after, the global sensation — wearing a puffy jacket, shorts and sneakers — joined his collaborators onstage to sing their 2025 track “Weltita,” part of Bunny’s chart-topping album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

The stage resembled Bunny’s 2020 “Dákiti” music video, showcasing both acts inside a clear box as they sang the airy and bright, slow-paced salsa song. “Weltita,” which is about enjoying a walk at the beach, reached No. 7 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and No. 1 on Hot Latin Pop Songs.

Bad Bunny leads the nominations this year, topping the list with 12 nods, including album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos and double mentions in the record of the year and song of the year categories for “Baile Inolvidable” and “DTMF.” Hot on his heels are Mexican-American producer-songwriter Edgar Barrera and Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, each earning 10 nominations.

This year’s ceremony boasts 60 categories honoring the very best in Latin music. Fans can follow along with all the night’s winners as the list updates live — click here to see who takes home a trophy.

Nearly naked muscled bodybuilders, towering mountains modeled after a hat, sewing machines and unapologetic Versace flamboyance — this was the vibe at one of the most jaw-dropping performances of the 2025 Latin Grammys on Thursday night (Nov. 13). CA7RIEL y Paco Amoroso turned the stage into a spectacle of pure originality, embracing eccentricity and delivering one of the most refreshing sets of the night.

The Argentine duo performed a medley of their standout tracks, including “El Impostor,” “#Tetas,” “La Que Puede, Puede” and “El Día Del Amigo,” balancing humor, outlandishness and musical brilliance. Despite the telecast censoring the word “#Tetas,” disrupting the flow, CA7RIEL kept the energy high, riffing jazz notes on his electric guitar he pulled out of a box, while Paco Amoroso’s charming vocals entertained throughout. Backed by a 10-piece band, the entire scene felt audaciously playful and artistic galore.

Toward the end of their performance, they greeted the superstar audience and tossed out heart-shaped pillow toys.

Between the electric stage presence and a genre-pushing alt-pop-jazzy sound, the duo reminded the audience why they’re among this year’s top nominees — and winners. Their performance broke away from tradition, creating a spectacle that was flamboyant, outrageous and captivatingly fresh.

DannyLux, Kakalo and Iván Cornejo, three young voices in Mexican music, delivered one of the most heartfelt performances on Thursday (Nov. 13) during the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards ceremony.

On a stage decorated solely with blue and white lights, showcasing the most contemporary sounds of the genre, the three artists — who received their first nominations this year — took turns singing accompanied by a live band. DannyLux was the first to perform with “Sirena.” Next came Kakalo with “Tierra Trágame.” And finally Cornejo closed with “Atención.” It was a simple-yet-elegant performance, filled with emotion and heart.
