1. SOUNDBITE (English) Amara La Negra, recording artist/actress:
“I most definitely do feel that change is happening. I think that we’ve been able to uplift our voices and not only uplift it, but also be heard. I think that when you come to events like this and you see how versatile and how much flavor the Latino community has overall that we come in all different types of shapes and colors and sizes. I think that that’s really what Miami is about as well. We’re a melting pot of cultures. And I’m so excited that the Latin Grammys are here this year.”

2. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Mon LaFerte, recording artist:
“I’m very excited that the album is nominated for Album of the Year. I think the variety of sounds of the albums that are nominated is super interesting and I also think it’s super cool that it’s in this space. An album that is more towards the alternative, let’s say the most experimental album of my career, with a version of ‘Casta Diva’ with autotune and dembow. And the truth is, for me it’s like I already feel like a super winner. In other words, I am in the big category that is Album of the Year. And I believe, in cultural and musical diversity, and I love that it can be within this palette.”

3. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) David Bisbal, recording artist:
“What I wanted was to leave behind a classic record, a Christmas standard for life, an album that I have prepared with a lot of care, with a lot of love with my friend Cheche Alara, a great producer, a great musician, arranger, pianist, string arranger as well and therefore a very very elegant album has been left where I have been able to travel through different sounds practically all over the Latin American continent, but also of my country, of Spain. So, I hope you like it.”

4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Trueno, recording artist:
“Hip hop was also born out of the need for neighborhood expression, to be able to unite together as well and say what we feel we need to say without censorship. Not all artists are obligated or created based on that. But I take the lesson and I learned from my father as always, you have to say speak without fear of anything. So, we’re always going to go down that line.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Lux, recording artist:
“Going into this new era where it’s just like, honestly, like I used to hold back. I really felt like I wasn’t putting out what I really wanted to put put out, like transmit to people. And now, now like, I feel like this whole new era is going to be something crazy.”
(Reporter: “And what led to that feeling, you know, confident to step into this new era?)
“I feel like I was just I’ve slowly just started to, like, realize that, I mean, music at the end of the day, thanks to God and thanks to other people that have been listening to me, it’s like it’s my passion, but it’s also like my job, you know? But it’s like, I don’t know. It’s so crazy how far it’s taken me. And honestly, it’s just crazy. Like, it’s crazy.”
