Gloria Estefan and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso were among the first Latin winners on Sunday (February 1) at the 2026 Grammy Awards Premiere, a ceremony prior to the televised gala in which most of the trophies were distributed. But Bad Bunny was the top Latin winner of the night, taking three of the six trophies he was up for, including best global music performance for “EoO,” best urban music album, and album of the year (the ceremony’s biggest prize) for his No. 1 Billboard 200 hit. I should have taken more photos — these last two during the live broadcast on CBS.

“Puerto Rico, I told you that we are much bigger than 100 x 35 (miles), and there is nothing that we cannot achieve,” Benito said in Spanish when accepting the Grammy for album of the year, less than three months after having won the same recognition at the Latin Grammys. “Thank God, thank you to the Academy, thank you to the people who have believed in me throughout my career. To all the people who worked on this album. Thank you mom for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico; I love you,” he continued, dedicating the award to those who have lost a loved one and have still moved forward.

Previously, upon receiving the award for best urban music album from Karol G and comedian Marcello Hernández, Bad Bunny received a standing ovation in response to his emotional but forceful speech: “Before thanking God, I’m going to say: ICE Out!” he declared in English, amidst cheers. “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens; we are human beings and we are Americans. I know it is difficult not to hate these days, and sometimes I think we catch that hate. Hate becomes more powerful with more hate; the only thing more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love.”

During the Premiere, Estefan won the award for best Latin tropical album for Rootsadding a fifth Grammy to his extensive list of recognitions. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso the best Latin rock or alternative music album for PAPOTA. Both productions were also awarded at the Latin Grammys in November.

“Thank you! 50 years later and my heart is still soaring,” Estefan said when accepting the trophy with her husband and producer Emilio Estefan, in a combination of English and Spanish. “It has been an incredible year. Babethank you for this wonderful album you produced for me. You are the best. “You continue to be my greatest inspiration.”

“The only thing I can say, 50 years ago we were one of the first Latin rhythm groups to record bilingually (English/Spanish),” Emilio added, in English. “I’m proud that we did both languages. I’m proud to be Latino.”

For his part, Paco Amoroso spoke on behalf of the sensational Argentine duo, with CA7RIEL by his side on stage. “We want to thank the Academy, the voting members, Sony, all the people who trusted us,” he said in Spanish. “We are very grateful for this opportunity they gave us. To our family, our team, Argentina and all of Latin America, we love you!”

Among the winners of the Latin categories, Natalia Lafourcade took the award for best Latin pop album for Songbookand Carín León the best Mexican music album for To’s Word (Dry). Neither of them were there to receive their award.

Bad Bunny not only won the Grammy for album of the year. The Puerto Rican superstar made history as the first Spanish-speaking artist to appear in the three main categories in the same year, also competing for the song of the year and record of the year awards for “DtMF.” It was the second time he competed for the album of the year award, after doing so in 2023 with A Summer Without You. Additionally, “DtMF” is only the second Spanish-language song nominated for record and song of the year, after “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee (featuring Justin Bieber).

Also in the main categories, Edgar Barrera competed for the third time as composer of the year, non-classical. The Mexican hitmaker, who participated as a presenter at the Premiere, was nominated this time as author or co-author of hits by artists including Young Miko, Karol G, Carín León, Fuerza Regida, Grupo Frontera, Manuel Turizo, Shakira and Juanes. The golden gramophone went to Amy Allen, whose credits include “APT.” (ROSÉ, Bruno Mars), “Lost in Translation” (Carín León & Kasey Musgraves) and “Manchild” (Sabrina Carpenter).

Indie psychedelic pop/soul band The Marías — whose vocalist and songwriter María Zardoya is Puerto Rican — was nominated for best new artist, which Olivia Dean ended up winning.

Other Latino artists were listed in various non-Latin categories. For the Grammy for best global music performance, in addition to Bad Bunny, the Peruvian Ciro Hurtado for “Cantando en el Camino” and the Cuban Yeisy Rojas for “Immigrante y qué?” Two Brazilian icons won the best global music album category, Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia, for Caetano e Bethânia Ao Vivo.

The award for best musical theater album went to Buena Vista Social Clubthe acclaimed Broadway show about the Cuban artists who brought the Grammy-winning 1997 album to life.

The Venezuelan director Gustavo Dudamel and the Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz were once again nominated in the classical music sections. Both were recognized by winning “Ortiz: Yanga” for best choral performance (Los Angeles Philharmonic & Tambuco Percussion Ensemble; Los Angeles Master Chorale), and Ortiz: Yanga best classic compendium.

The jazz and Latin jazz categories included the Cuban musicians Paquito D’Rivera and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, the Mexican Arturo O’Farrill, and the Puerto Rican Miguel Zenón. The Peruvian artist Flor Bromley was competing for the award for best music album for children, for Herstory.
