Latin Grammy Engineering and Production Nominations Announced

Miami, FL (September 19, 2023)—The Latin Recording Academy has announced the nominees for the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, including those categories honoring recording and mastering engineers, mixers and record producers.

Mexican-American songwriter and producer Edgar Barrera tops the Latin Grammy nomination list with 13 nods, including producer of the year. Colombian stars Camilo, Karol G, Shakira and composer Kevyn Mauricio Cruz, also known as Keityn, each received seven nominations while producer DJ Bizarrap from Argentina was recognized with six.

This year’s Latin Grammy Awards ceremony will take place outside the U.S. for the first time, in Seville, Spain on November 16, 2023. It will air on Univision in the U.S. and Radio Televisión Española in Spain.
