Background.
In March 2023, the Latin Recording Academy announced several changes for different categories:
Location.
The 24th Annual Grammy Awards will mark the first time ever since its inauguration in 2000 that the ceremony is going to be held outside the United States. According to the President of the Regional Government of Andalusia, Juan Manuel Moreno, hosting the Latin Grammys in Seville could bring local tourism "an additional 12,000 people" and "media exposure" to the city, boosting the region's economic activity as well up to $3.2 billion.
Controversy.
Since the late 2010s, the inclusion of artists from Spain in the awards has garnered controversy from social media users who noted the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Academy itself has been accused of whitewashing by favoring Spaniards and White Latin Americans over Afro–Latin Americans. Furthermore, reggaeton was once stigmatized as the "music of immigrants" in Spain.
Following the announcement of the new host city, criticism and debates arose towards its election, citing that "the European country [Spain] isn’t part of Latin America". Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, has responded to disapproval on the inclusion of Spain by pointing out that "Latin music has been defined by Spanish and Portuguese languages", and that the decision of hosting the ceremony overseas "is a gateway for artists to bring their music to Spain, and to Europe".
