Latin grammy nominations postponed natural disasters
The Latin Grammy Awards nominations have been postponed due to the devastating natural disasters that have affected several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Latin Recording Academy announced on September 20, 2022, that the nominations for the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, which were originally scheduled to take place on September 21, 2022, would be postponed due to the severe flooding and landslides caused by Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico and the earthquakes in Mexico.
The Academy stated that it would work with its members and partners to ensure that the nominations are announced at a later date, once the situation has stabilized and the affected communities have received the necessary support.
The Latin Grammy Awards are presented annually by the Latin Recording Academy to recognize excellence in Latin music. The awards ceremony typically takes place in November, and the nominations are a highly anticipated event in the Latin music industry.
The postponement of the nominations is a testament to the Academy's commitment to supporting the affected communities and ensuring that the awards ceremony is not overshadowed by the devastating natural disasters.
In the meantime, the Latin Recording Academy has launched a relief effort to support the affected communities, and has encouraged its members and fans to donate to reputable organizations providing aid and support to those affected by the disasters.
The Academy has also announced that it will be hosting a special benefit concert, "Latin Grammy In Concert: A Benefit for Puerto Rico and Mexico," on October 12, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The concert will feature performances by some of the biggest names in Latin music, and all proceeds will go towards supporting the relief efforts in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
The Latin Grammy Awards nominations will be announced at a later date, and the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony will take place in November 2022.
