There is one song from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean that has captivated audiences across the globe for decades. In Latin American family parties, from quinceañeras to weddings, it's a go-to song to kick off the merengue dance portion of the playlist.

We're referring to the upbeat merengue single by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Elvis Crespo, "Suavemente." Whether you're sitting at the table sipping on a drink or in the restroom fixing up your makeup when Crespo's voice begins "Suavementeeee," it's time to grab a partner and run to the dance floor.

And now, a new version of the 23-year-old song has been released by Amazon Latin as the "Suavemente (25 Aniversario Amazon Original)" with a fresh mambo vibe. At a time when reggaeton artists like Bad Bunny have taken over the world, the new...

The Hollywood Bowl can be a magical place. Set in the Hollywood Hills, this giant amphitheater that opened in 1929 seats 17,500 people. They host countless musical acts, but one of the big draws is when a live orchestra plays along with a popular film. The LA Philharmonic recently performed alongside an "Amadeus" showing, and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" with live music is one of the venue's hottest tickets. Now Disney is bringing the Academy Award-winning film "Encanto" to the Bowl with the original voice cast. 

Not everyone can get to Los Angeles, of course, but Disney+ subscribers will be able to stream the special. The concert will happen over two nights on November 11 and 12, 2022, and will be available to stream at the end of the year. 

That's not a bad deal! As cool as the event space is, this means you won't have to deal with the insane traffic, parking nightmares...

The 2022 Latin Grammy nominations were announced on September 20, with the awards going out November 17. So who will win Latin music’s top songwriting award, Song of the Year?

SEE2022 Latin Grammy predictions: Record of the Year is a battle between young stars and old favorites

Let’s go through the process of elimination here. Ricky Martin‘s “A Veces Bien y A Veces Mal,” Daddy Yankee‘s “Agua,” and Mon Laferte‘s “Algo Es Mejor” are probably here in part due to being alphabetically high on the ballot, and since none of them made much noise, they will likely not win. While Carla Morrison and Fonseca are both highly respected artists, their respective songs “Encontrarme” and “Besos En La Frente” also didn’t really make much of an impact. Those five are likely the filler nominees.

A few other nominees have a slight chance. “Hentai” by Rosalía might be too polarizing for most voters,...

I’ve discussed a couple of possible Latin Grammy winners for Album of the Year this year, but what about another general field category? Let’s look at the contenders for Record of the Year.

Alas, Pablo Alborán (“Castillos De Arena”), Camilo (“Pegao”), and Marc Anthony (“Pa’lla Voy”) are just here to fill up space. While Bad Bunny and Bomba Estéreo‘s “Ojitos Lindos” was a big hit and one of the best songs of the year, the academy has tended to shy away from rewarding Benito in the top categories, so I wouldn’t place it among the top contenders. Similarly, Shakira and Rauw Alejandro‘s “Te Felicito” was successful, but not the most successful here, and it isn’t as highly acclaimed as some of its rivals.

Both “Pa Mis Muchachas” by Christina Aguilera, Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso and “Baloncito Viejo” by Carlos Vives and Camilo could win,...

2022 has been a great year for Latin music. Artists like Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Anitta have found crossover success and critical acclaim. Rosalía deserves to be in that conversation too. Her third studio album, “Motomami,” broke streaming records upon arrival and became the most acclaimed album of the year, across all languages. This acclaim and commercial success resulted in Rosalía earning a slew of nominations at the 23rd Latin Grammy Awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year. With one win in that category already for her previous record, “El Mal Querer,” will Rosalía manage to achieve another?

SEE2022 Latin Grammy nominations list: Bad Bunny leads with 10, but can he finally win Album of the Year?

The Latin Grammys can be hard to predict. This is mostly due to their tendency to award older artists in the top categories, especially those that emerged from the ’90s and early 2000s.

"If you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry, I gave you one too many nights," sings Jessie Reyez in "Mutual Friends," a single off her new album, "Yessie," released on Sept. 16. Brimmed with much of the gritty and raw R&b and soul sounds Reyez is known for, the 11-track album is her second studio album and fourth project. In "Yessie," the Grammy-nominated performer mesmerizes with her unique, raspy voice while offering fresh sounds, hopeful lyrics, and dance vibes.

"I'm always just talking about my life and what I go through, but I'm definitely in a different space."

These expressions of joy amid heart-wrenching tracks reflect the journey Reyez has undertaken in her own personal life. "I'm always just talking about my life and what I go through, but I'm definitely in a different space," Reyez says in an interview with Popsugar. "I've just wanted to grow,...
