The Latin Grammy Awards 2023 made history by choosing Seville, Spain, as their host city for the first time ever, breaking away from their usual location in the United States. The event was a grand celebration in the heart of Andalusia, featuring a multitude of musical performances, thousands of guests, entertainment celebrities, an award ceremony, and a stunning red carpet. 

A Night Packed with Live Music 

At 10:30 PM (with punctuality reminiscent of British precision), the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions in Seville (FIBES) hosted the grand awards ceremony, where the winners of the top 10 categories of these iconic Spanish-language music awards were unveiled. Rosalía opened the ceremony with a moving rendition of Rocío Jurado’s «Se nos rompió el amor.»
