00:00The Latin Grammys could return to Spain within the next two years.
00:04That's according to Manuel Abud, Executive Director of the Latin Recording Academy.
00:09Abud says the organization is already in talks with potential host cities
00:14after the massive success of the ceremony held in Seville,
00:18the first to take place outside the United States.
00:25Andalucía and the authority of Andalucía did a great job.
00:31I think they also were very happy and satisfied with our presence there.
00:35If there is a possibility, it's more, I don't know the possibility,
00:38I don't know the possibility, but the probability of that we return to Spain.
00:41We are already in talks with some destinos.
00:56Abud also believes that Latin Music is enjoying a historic boom driven by two major factors.
01:14And in the second, there is a more receptive capacity that is very limited and very filtrada.
01:21If you look at the past, the most relevant artists of the Latin American music
01:25had to do their proposals in English, had to sing in English.
01:28The phenomenon that most entusiasmated today is that they are recognized by the music
01:35and the music is sung in Spanish.
01:38So, that's something I think it has to entusiasmar a lot.
01:42So, I think it's a very important part of the album in Spanish.
01:43In this last episode, the Grammy Americano won the album of Bad Bunny,
01:49which is the first time that a album completely in Spanish
01:52won the album in the Grammy American.
01:54It's the first time that a album is recognized
01:57tanto by the Academia Latina of the Grabation as an album of the year,
02:00as by the Academia Americana of the Grabation as an album of the year in the Grammys.
02:04So, I think that that's a reflection of this moment so special
02:09and digno of festejo.
