RosalÍa Sets Record At Latin Grammys

WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (NNN-dpa) -- Spanish musician Rosalía won five prizes at the Latin Grammys and set a record as the first woman to win album of the year three times, German Press Agency (dpa) reported.

With Lux winning album of the year in the ceremony on Thursday, the Spanish singer has won the Latin trophy in that category three times, after her albums El Mal Querer in 2019 and Motomami in 2022.

In the relatively short history of the award, presented since 2000, only singers Juanes, Alejandro Sanz, and Juan Luis Guerra have managed this so far. Guerra, a merengue and bachata musician, holds the record with four albums of the year.

At the ceremony in Las Vegas, La Perla won song of the year and best pop song. Lux also won the best alternative album.

Rosalía, who mostly sings in Spanish but also in other languages, is one of the most successful artists of the past decade. Her music combines flamenco with pop, reggaeton, and R&B.

The Latin Grammys honour outstanding music recordings released mostly in Spanish, Portuguese, or indigenous languages of Latin America.
