in Spanish

With four nominations, Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel became the most nominated Latino artist for the 2025 Grammy Awards, followed by percussionist Sheila E., who earned two nominations. This year’s list of America’s top music awards once again excludes Spanish-speaking artists from major categories.

Dudamel, one of the Academy’s most highly regarded classical artists, is competing in the categories of Best Orchestral Performance, Best Engineered Non-Classical Album, Best Classical Compendium and Best Contemporary Classical Composition.

For her part, Sheila E. was nominated for Best Tropical Latin Album and Best Global Music Performance.

Latino nominated for a Grammy

The remaining Latino nominees each received a single nomination, primarily in specific categories such as Latin music or children’s music.

The exceptions were Cardi B, nominated for Best Rap Performance for “Enough (Miami),” and Édgar Barrera in the Composer of the Year category.

Many predicted Shakira’s latest album ‘Las Soones Ya No Lloran’ would make it into the general *Best Pop Album* category, or at least her song ‘Puntería’ with Cardi B would be considered, but it has been ignored. The biggest snub, however, was Camila Cabello, whose album ‘C,XOXO’ was overlooked in a year that was recognized by most major female pop artists.
