The 2016 Latin Grammys may not be a blowout for any one artist. According to the Los Angeles Times, there’s a three-way tie for the most noms, with Jesse & Joy, Djavan, and Fonseca each coming in with four nominations. This year won’t produce a Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album winner due to the low number of entries. But, for the most part, the show will remain exactly the same in this year’s version. Across 47 categories, familiar faces once again make up the majority of the nominees, meaning that newer – but still deserving – artists are effectively locked out.
To the Latin Grammys’ credit, there are some nice surprises, especially in the stacked Best New Artist and Best Short Form Music Video categories.
