Juan Luis Guerra Wins 4 Awards at 2024 Latin Grammys: Full Winners List
Juan Luis Guerra y 4.40 was the top winner on Thursday (November 14) at the 25th annual Latin Grammys, obtaining four awards including album of the year for Radio Güira, and record of the year for “Mambo 23.” The Dominican maestro and his band also won best merengue and/or bachata album and best tropical song, for the same productions, respectively.
Released in November 2023, Radio Güira is a six-song EP full of humor, love and poetry over mambo, bachata and merengue rhythms, very much in the style of Guerra. Each of the songs is presented as if on a radio station, with supposed calls from listeners and even a special cooking recipe.

“After 40 years of career, I feel joyful to be with you,” Guerra told his colleagues in the audience. “The idea of ??Radio Güira was completely Jesus’. He gave us wisdom, He gave us understanding, so all the glory and honor to Him.”
It was a night full of memorable performances that included a fascinating salsa number that marked the reunion of Marc Anthony and La India; a tribute to late legends Juan Gabriel, José José and Vicente Fernández; an electrifying duet by Pitbull and Bon Jovi; and another from the Latin Grammy winner for best new artist Ela Taubert with Joe Jonas. But it was also a night marked by some surprise victories.
Among others, Jorge Drexler won song of the year and best singer-songwriter song for “Derrumbe,” both categories with more popular songs by contenders such as Shakira, Karol G, Carín León and Kany García.
The first prize of the night, in the new category of best contemporary Mexican music album, went to Carín León for Boca Chueca, Vol. 1.
And, a year after winning the Latin Grammy for best urban music album, Karol G repeated the feat with Ma?ana Será Bonito (Bichota Season). It was her only award of the night out of eight nominations — unlike last year when she received three, including album of the year for Ma?ana Será Bonito — but the Colombian star went up happy and excited to receive her new award.
“This one goes for this album, for all the others, for [Feid’s] Ferxxocalipsis as well,” Karol said smiling after completing a cappella part of her hit “Qlona” that played while she walked to the stage. “The truth is, my life, my music is about that, about the love of all of you,” she added, thanking her family for always accompanying her and making her feel “proud and safe” about what she does.
Hours earlier, at the Latin Grammy Premiere — where most of the awards were presented — Edgar Barrera and Nathy Peluso won three trophies each. Barrera was named songwriter of the year award, which he also received in 2023. He also won producer of the year and best regional Mexican song along with Keytin as the authors of Grupo Frontera and Grupo Firme’s “El Amor de su Vida.”
“Thanks to the Academy for once again giving me this recognition,” said the Mexican hitmaker upon receiving the first of his trophies, which he dedicated to his four-week-old daughter. “It is a category that did not exist two years ago and that thanks to songwriters before me like Manuel Alejandro, like Roberto Cantoral, Kike Santander, Estéfano — who showed that the work of a songwriter is just as important as that of an artist — it is thanks to them that I am standing here, receiving this award.”
Peluso’s awards included best long-form video for Grasa, best alternative song for “El Día que Perdí mi Juventud,” and best rap/hip-hop song for “Aprender a Amar,” both included on her album Grasa.
“Oh, what can I say! I can’t believe this! Wow,” the Argentine star said, evidently emotional upon receiving her third gramophone of the day. After thanking the entire team that was part of Grasa, she added: “Thanks to hip-hop, thanks to poetry, thanks to music for teaching me so much.”
For its 25th anniversary, the Latin Grammy Awards also incorporated a new field of electronic music and best Latin electronic music performance category, which went to Bizarrap and Shakira for “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 (Ti?sto Remix)”.
The awards ceremony was broadcast live on Univision, Galavisión and ViX from the Kaseya Center in Miami. Below, find the list of Latin Grammy winners for 2024.
