The 2020 Latin Grammy Awards were held on Thursday night in Miami, with no live audience and performers and winners joining virtually from all over the world. The show featured 18 different performances with over 30 different artists, as well as the introduction of the new Reggaeton Performance award.

Some of the best performances included J Balvin‘s “Rojo,” which involved a nearly three ton statue, Karol G‘s “Tusa,” and Bad Bunny‘s “Bichiyal” and “Si Veo A Tu Mamá.”

Natalia Lafourcade won album of the year for “Un Canto por México, Vol. 1,” Alejandro Sanz won record of the year for “Contigo,” and Residente won song of the year went for “René.” Also notably, Spanish singer Rosalía, who previously won the 2019 award for album of the year, took home three awards this year, while Bad Bunny received nominations for nine different songs he worked on and received one award.
