Nearly naked muscled bodybuilders, towering mountains modeled after a hat, sewing machines and unapologetic Versace flamboyance — this was the vibe at one of the most jaw-dropping performances of the 2025 Latin Grammys on Thursday night (Nov. 13). CA7RIEL y Paco Amoroso turned the stage into a spectacle of pure originality, embracing eccentricity and delivering one of the most refreshing sets of the night.

The Argentine duo performed a medley of their standout tracks, including “El Impostor,” “#Tetas,” “La Que Puede, Puede” and “El Día Del Amigo,” balancing humor, outlandishness and musical brilliance. Despite the telecast censoring the word “#Tetas,” disrupting the flow, CA7RIEL kept the energy high, riffing jazz notes on his electric guitar he pulled out of a box, while Paco Amoroso’s charming vocals entertained throughout. Backed by a 10-piece band, the entire scene felt audaciously playful and artistic galore.

Toward the end of their performance, they greeted the superstar audience and tossed out heart-shaped pillow toys.

Between the electric stage presence and a genre-pushing alt-pop-jazzy sound, the duo reminded the audience why they’re among this year’s top nominees — and winners. Their performance broke away from tradition, creating a spectacle that was flamboyant, outrageous and captivatingly fresh.

Bad Bunny leads the nominations this year, topping the list with 12 nods, including album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos and double mentions in the record of the year and song of the year categories for “Baile Inolvidable” and “DTMF.”

This year’s ceremony boasts 60 categories honoring the very best in Latin music. Fans can follow along with all the night’s winners as the list updates live — click here to see who takes home a trophy.

DannyLux, Kakalo and Iván Cornejo, three young voices in Mexican music, delivered one of the most heartfelt performances on Thursday (Nov. 13) during the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards ceremony.

On a stage decorated solely with blue and white lights, showcasing the most contemporary sounds of the genre, the three artists — who received their first nominations this year — took turns singing accompanied by a live band. DannyLux was the first to perform with “Sirena.” Next came Kakalo with “Tierra Trágame.” And finally Cornejo closed with “Atención.” It was a simple-yet-elegant performance, filled with emotion and heart.

First-time Latin Grammy nominees DannyLux and Cornejo were both competing for the award for best contemporary Mexican music album: DannyLux for Leyenda and Cornejo for Mirada. Meanwhile, Kakalo was nominated for best regional Mexican song for “Tierra trágame,” a collaboration with Carín León.

Karol G and Marco Antonio Solís joined forces on Thursday night (Nov. 13) at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards to deliver a heartfelt performance of “Coleccionando Heridas.” The Mexican legend and Colombian superstar brought two generations and styles together in a showcase that felt understated yet charming.

Midway through the song, the duo danced, adding a touch of warmth and camaraderie to the stage. Karol kept her look casual yet alluring, styled with jeans, a peach-pink top, and sporting braids adorned with decorative laces, embodying a relaxed persona. Meanwhile, Solís, with a flamboyant flair, contrasted Karol’s simplicity with a bold yellow suit. His silky vocals, paired with Karol’s unique tone, elevated the gentle melody, as they sang the main hook: “Yo seguiré coleccionando heridas.” The duet stood out as a memorable, sweet moment in the live broadcast.

Pepe Aguilar, a Mexican artist who can traverse many genres – from traditional ranchera to progressive pop — went for tradition in his 2025 Latin Grammys performance. Singing with the backing of a 16-piece mariachi, Aguilar belted “El Cihualteco” and “El Fuereño,” from his album Mi Suerte Es Ser Mexicano, nominated for best ranchero/mariachi album.

Aguilar often sings ballads, and his velvety voice lends itself to crooning. But his other forceful, powerful side, put at the service of bravura songs, is perhaps more impressive. Dressed in full charro regalia, he also brought in folk Mexican dancers, which added authenticity to a spectacle of Mexican pride. Mariachi music has not enjoyed the commercial success of other Mexican music genres, like norteño or banda, to the degree that this year there were only three nominees competing in the best ranchero/mariachi album, a reflection on the number of submissions.

But Aguilar more than made up for it. This is a man that is constantly on the road performing live, and it showed in his dominion of the stage and his clear ease singing to a live mariachi.

In a twist, Aguilar was competing in the best ranchero/mariachi album category with his son-in-law Christian Nodal. And when it came time to announce the winners, it was Nodal who took the prize. Nodal hugged his wife Angela Aguilar and, before taking the stage, also embraced his father-in-law in a gesture of respect.

Other Latin Grammy performers for the evening have included standouts Rauw Alejandro, Elena Rose and Gloria Estefan performing alongside Nathy Peluso.
