Manuel Abud, CEO of Latin Recording Academy has shared his view defending the move, claiming that it is the responsibility of the academy to actively support the artists in their ‘quest to go global’ campaign actively, said in an interview, ‘That’s why we’re going international, and that’s why we’re doing it now,’

Yatra said, ‘I really hope this is the beginning of the Latin Grammys being hosted in many different places,’ the two-time Latin Grammy winner also added, ‘Latin music is going through an incredible moment.’

Further, he went on adding, ‘I definitely think Latin American musical hubs like Colombia should have the chance to host the ceremony,’

María José Llergo, a contemporary flamenco singer said, ‘Flamenco is the classical music of Andalucía, the sound of feet on cobblestones, a reflection of our story, our people,’ continued sharing, ‘Andalucía is so welcoming, and if Seville can host it, it is because it has a big heart.’ She also said, ‘I was in the countryside, everything felt far’.

She shared that she hoped the Latin Grammys would deliver young people in one of the poorest places in Spain, Andalucía the will and courage to live up to their dreams, ‘This is a great push for the young people here to know it’s not too far, and I think that’s beautiful.’
